When you aren’t getting in line a week early for tickets to that Rodney Atkins concert in April.
1. GO COUNTRY ... SEATTLE STYLE?
Texas/Idaho band Reckless Kelly headlines the Morrison Center tonight for a special sit-down experience. Later in the evening — 10 p.m. — up-and-coming Seattle-area group Aces Up will try to bring the house down at Reef. (It’s $5 unless you have a Reckless Kelly ticket stub. Then it's free.) Read more about Aces Up in my Scene column.)
Oldies are coming back to the Treasure Valley's AM airwaves.
Barring any unforeseen hitches, Ontario, Ore., AM country station "KSRV 1380 The Bull" will switch formats to "Oldies 1380" on Feb. 15 and spin music from the late '50s through early '70s.

Bring on the '80s! And '90s! Alt-rock band Camper Van Beethoven and Boise indie mainstay Built To Spill are among the third wave of bands heading to Downtown Boise for the second annual Treefort Music Fest in March.
These veteran bands, along with previously announced groups Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings and Animal Collective, offer further proof that Treefort isn't treating its definition of "emerging acts festival" as an ironclad directive.
