The 9th annual Treefort Music Fest had something for everyone. This year’s event expanded well beyond music with Skatefort, Yogafort, Alefort, Artfort, Comedyfort, Dragfort, Filmfort, Foodfort, Hackfort, Kidfort and Storyfort. Below are some photos from a few of our favorite shows. KHOL Music Director Jack Catlin conducted interviews with some of the Wyoming bands that performed at the festival, including J Shogren and 10 Cent Stranger, as well as a few national acts like The Seshen, Gilligan Moss and Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio. Listen below for a recap and keep tabs on the KHOL website for an in-depth interview of each of the artists we spoke with.
