Treefort Music Fest Day 1 of 4

This week sees the beginning of the inaugural Treefort Music Festival. The first day was full of transcending bands. We rolled into Boise, Idaho around 5 pm local time, just enough time to see the opening band Finn Riggins. It was a packed show that rocked so hard, I wasn't sure if I would make through the rest of the day.






















Next up was Dustin Wong, the incredible one man guitar symphony. Some of the best pedal looping I have witnessed in my years of concert going.
























We decided to take in the food culture of Boise after Dustin Wong. Turns out there's a sushi restaurant called Shige that has one dollar sushi plates for happy hour, and I must say that it was some of the best sushi I have had.
After dinner we then went back to the Neurolux to watch the most anticipated show (in my opinion), Delicate Steve. The show was everything that could be expected and more. Delicate Steve created another dimension in which I was very lucky to be a part of.

























Mr. Gnome was at the Red Room after Delicate Steve. It was a packed show, almost didn't get in on time. Though Delicate Steve took most of my energy, Mr. Gnome was able to find more and extort it from my body. The outpour of pure rock from this two piece reminded me slightly of the Black Keys.

Mr. Gnome + Tennis

Some really great music for you all today. Starting off with a rocking band from Cleveland, Ohio, Mr. Gnome. Their latest album, Madness in Miniature came out in October of last year, and it's really good. Lots of rock with the sweet female vocals over the top makes for a beautiful type of chaos. You can check out all their music on their website here, or stream the newest one below. My favorite track is that first one "Ate the Sun."



Next up is another cool band from Colorado called Tennis. Another great female vocalist, but this band is more on the roll side of rock and roll. Their latest album Young and Old comes out next Tuesday, but fear not, you can stream before you buy it down below. Make sure you check out the track "Origins," it's one of those songs that reminds me how much I love music. By the way both of these bands will be at the Treefort Music Festival.
