I woke up in Grand Teton National Park to the sounds of crazy mountain birds, and was glad not to have been eaten by bears or wolves during the night.

The funky, jammy, L.A. based Underground Orchestra proved to be a good start to the music of the weekend before the chaos started.

I’d purchased a new camera that… Continue reading Rothbury: The Journey There & First Impressions

Sam is working on his write-up now, but in the interim we invite you to check out his photos from the weekend. Jackson Hole is one of the loveliest places in the lower 48 and… Continue reading Jackson Hole Music Festival Photos!
