Treefort Music Fest

Tejano Outlaw from Nampa.

You know, they're playing and they're playing at places like the Riverside Hotel now and in Boise and playing at Tree Fort Music Fest.

So, you know, it's really brought in that community into the greater culture of southern Idaho, I think.

So, yeah, a lot of a lot of fun.

And so we frankly still would have been pleased even if nobody listened, but we've been really overwhelmed by the response in the community at some of these live events we've done, another episode that listeners can look forward to later this season.

is actually a live taping we did at the Tree Fort Music Festival earlier this year.

We were blown away by the response that people actually came out to see us do this thing.

And, you know, we get a lot of feedback that is exactly the feedback you love as an educator, which is I actually learned something in this episode.

Do you know much about that?

Yeah, in the spring, you ever find yourself with a week and you don't know what to do, come to Treefort.

There are hundreds of bands that come out over like a six-day period, and every single venue in town is turned over to music.

Cool.

Um, and this is actually where this is the one that I wrote, um, the Indiana bell story for, because there's also a MFA student reading.

So every year we go there and, um, We read our stories, we read our poems.

And we're usually, since we're now performing at Storyfort, we're usually given a free pass to Treefort.

So not only do we get to share our work, but then we get to fully indulge in that week of amazing music.

I'd be into that, but I want to shout out Ingrown who put out a record called Idaho.

How cool is that? Had the absolute pleasure of seeing Ingrown play in Boise, Boise on top at Treefort Festival.

Just a straight up very amazing time.

Uh, my personal life was like, I had a bunch of bad stuff happening, but I had such a nice time visiting Boise.

That's at McMillan and Eagle Road.

Treefort Music Festival has dropped its first wave of artists set to rock Boise next spring.

The masked goth cowboy Orville Peck kicks off the festival alongside Australia's indie shredder Courtney Barnett.

Not to be outdone by Orville Peck, German DJ Horse Girl also sports her own mask in the form of a chestnut horse.

Pacific Northwest indie icons Modest Mouse take the stage Saturday, along with the lo-fi fuzz rock band Slow Pulp and neo-soul crooners The Sacred Soul return to Treefort as a headliner to close out Sunday, alongside four-time Grammy nominee singer-songwriter Jesse Wells.

Further lineup announcements will be made in the coming months.

Artists can still submit themselves for consideration for the upcoming Treefort until November 22nd.

Passes and single day tickets for the festival that starts March 31st through April 4th are on sale now.

What's it called? What, uh, what's the festival in Boise?

Oh, at Treefort.

Treefort.

Jordan and I shared a bed at Treefort.

Oh, we did.

We, we shared a bed.

Um, sometimes people were watching a movie, but they'd always sit and watch a movie.

I would go to sleep.
