Gary Eller/ Songs of the Early Idaho Panhandle Region
The people who developed the Idaho Panhandle region recorded their history in part through their stories, songs, and poems. The Idaho Songs Project’s nineteenth CD/booklet project, Songs and Poems of the EarlyIdaho Panhandle Region, preserves some of this heritage in it’s 114-page book and CD with 37 audio tracks by musician, author, and folklorist P. Gary Eller. Eller will highlight selections from the CD/booklet project in a free public program.
Gary Eller has played American roots music since he grew up in rural West Virginia. Following a 30-year career as a nuclear scientist, he retired to Nampa and immediately became deeply involved in Idaho history and music. Gary works closely with regional museums and universities to collect, archive, and bring to life through performance and interpretation the wonderful windows in Idaho's heritage that these songs present.
