The Funky Taco

Venue review

The musician's read

The Funky Taco is downtown Boise restaurant with live jazz and eclectic local-music programming. The programming spans Jazz, eclectic, and local, giving artists a useful sense of what already works in the room. Artist calendar documents live quartet programming at this operating restaurant. This is a hospitality room, so the strongest acts will know how to keep the crowd engaged without treating every song like a headline-club performance. For the right act, that can be a solid working date rather than a throwaway background gig.
