Treefort 2026 Boise: Our Favorite Music Discoveries from Five Days in the Fort
Xtina calling, Ry and I spent five days diving into some of the best music Treefort had to offer. We walked, we listened, we interviewed, we rested, and we rallied for more. While it wasn’t possible for us to catch every band that perked up our ears we did listen to some great music and discovered some new favs. Here are some of our favorite music morsels we consumed and a starting line song to get your started on their music.
