THANK YOU!!! Treefort Decompression Party on April 4th!!

WOW. I don’t think any of us were quite prepared for just how awesome the first Treefort Music Fest ended up being last weekend and there are so many people to thank for it. First off, YOU — for attending or volunteering or working or playing at the festival, for showing up each day with a huge smile on your face and helping all the artists and other attendees feel so welcome. It was possibly the most joy-filled weekend that I’ve ever experienced — great vibes everywhere. The weather was a huge key for sure, but it was the sheer number of quality quality people out experiencing live music and community with open hearts and minds that made Treefort Music Fest round 1 such an incredible experience.

Treefort Decompression Party April 4th

THANK YOU for showing up and being awesome and getting crazy with us! Thanks for helping to put Boise’s best foot forward all weekend — truly amazing and so very thankful to have been a part of it. Already can’t wait till next year! But first, we’re celebrating and letting us all down easy with the Treefort Decompression Party this coming Wednesday, April 4th at the Linen Building. RACES (los angeles) will be in town in support of their brand new record “Year Of The Witch” that came out a few days ago on Frenchkiss Records. Another L.A.-based band NO will also be playing as well as locals SHADES. More details here

WHY? video, Paste photos and more media from Treefort

All kinds of great press coming from the festival on the interwebs. Lots of photos and videos surfacing and many more to come. Here’s a taste, a nice video of WHY? put together by our friends at Retroscope Media: WHY? playing “Good Friday” on Treefort Main Stage 3/23/12 /// and check out a bunch of photos that Paste Magazine posted, as well as great coverage by the Boise Weekly and many more. The enthusiasm was through the roof last weekend, bodes well for this music scene in general and definitely for Treefort Music Fest 2013 — more on that soon!

MANY MANY THANKS

We’re glad that so many people recognized the fact that we were able to host this festival without big corporate sponsorships and keep it grassroots and connected to the great community of Boise. There are a whole host of great local businesses and organization we have to thank for helping make that a reality.
