The band has sold more than 25 million tickets since its inception.

Buy TixLed by Laurel Canyon-based singer-songwriter Jeff Martin, IDAHO are the unsung cult heroes of 90s slowcore. Often grouped amongst post-grunge indie rock pioneers like Low, Songs: Ohia, and Codeine, IDAHO is distinguished by the desert atmospherics of frontman Jeff Martin’s four-string guitar. Across its catalogue of now ten full length releases, including 2024’s return, Lapse, its first new album after a thirteen year hiatus, IDAHO has defined modes of longing, mystery, grace, and dreamy-yet-edgy nuance entirely its own.
