Treefort Deep Dives

We’re diving into Year 10 of Treefort with 500+ performers and just five weeks to find your next favorite artist!

Treefort Music Fest has been bringing emerging artists to downtown Boise since 2012 and this year is no different. The Treefort Deep Dive series allows you to reminisce on those artists you saw live before they got big + some who you won’t be able to see live again and find the performers that you’ll be sure to dig during Treefort 10.

In the music bizzz RIYL stands for “recommended if you like.” So without further ado, dive into Treefort 10 artists that our team recommends if you like the following Treefort Alums!!

Learn more about each artist in the accompanying blogs, immerse yourself in each curated playlist then head over to the app to add them to your schedule.

Snag your pass if you haven’t already and we’ll see you in the crowd March 23-27!!
