There’s just something about a First Thursday in when the city leans into its creative pulse. If you know, you know. If you don’t, come find out!

May 7, Gregory Rawlins takes the stage in the Modern courtyard from 6–9 PM. Expect a golden-hour glow, a drink in hand, and laid-back vibes

Hailing from La Grande, brings a sound that feels both intimate and expansive. His songwriting is rooted in storytelling—honest and unpolished in the best way. It’s music that invites you to slow down and stay a little longer than you planned.

In May, Campfire Stories returns to the Modern! Join us under the ginkgos and around the fires – in the Modern Courtyard every 2nd Sunday from May to October – to experience this intimate storytelling event.

Stories are central to the Modern Hotel. Our story is planted deep in Idaho, in the rich history of the west, Basque boarding houses, sheep herding, immigration, the American dream and stories told around the campfire by pioneers. We tell the story of how the Modern came to exist each time a guest inquires about the pictures on the walls of our lobby. And sometimes even if they don’t ask!

Thanks to Story Forward and a passionate group of writers, original fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, screenplays and more will be offered from Idaho’s rich literary community. Produced by Christian Winn, Rebecca Evans, and Tomás Baiza, who curate and host each show. We are thrilled for the opportunity to work with this amazing team again!
