Jimmy Cicero, Black Marble Collaborator, Checks in Ahead of Boise Show Tonight

Posted in Concert Previews, Interviews with tags , on 08/30/2026 by Kurt Orzeck

Lo-fi pop singer/songwriter Jimmy Cicero – who is something of a mystery man, having performing under different aliases over the years – will appear a couple of times in Boise this evening. In addition to playing the keys with headliner Black Marble at The Shrine Social Club, he’ll take the stage earlier in the night as one of the opening acts (along with The Serfs). Expect to hear one or both songs from his recently released 7-inch “I Will Always Love You”/ “On Your Side.”

Hey, Jimmy. How did the first three shows of the tour go? Any highlights and/or lowlights?

Great shows. I wasn’t sure at first how it would play out doing my own set and then playing keys in Black Marble most nights. But it’s been pretty comfortable. Happy to be onboard, double-duty-style.

Will this be your first time playing in Boise?

I played Neurolux many years ago in a different project. This will be my first time playing Boise under my real name.

Black Marble Ready to Descend on Boise

Posted in Concert Previews, Interviews with tags on 08/30/2026 by Kurt Orzeck

Hot on the heels of the release of Life in Small Spaces earlier this month, Brooklyn beat-maker Black Marble (a.k.a. Chris Stewart) drops through Boise tonight to present some of his new record and more at Shrine Social Club. We recently caught up with the artist while he was darting from city to city, keeping the excitement going behind the new record that has seen the release of singles “Jim Carol New Year” and “Anything.”

Hiya Chris. I can’t seem to find any indication you’ve played Boise before. Did you decide to come here simply because of routing, or were there other reasons why you chose to grace this city for the first time?

We’re coming for the Idaho style hot dog! Also, my bassist once played there, at an arcade, and they let him sleep there.

Aside from integrating new material, is your set on this tour gonna be different in any other ways than in tours past?

We have new projections that our friend Scott in New York made for us.  He made the video for our second single, “Anything,” from our new record.
