Grand Targhee Music Festival

We had an awesome weekend of friends, music, lots of sun and some pop-up fun...good times! After work on Friday we cruised over to the Grand Targhee Music Festival (just about an hour drive away) and camped out in the pop-up trailer for the weekend. The music was better than we ever could have expected with a bunch of bands that were fairly new to us really making us dance like mad. Some of our faves were Carrie Rodriguez, Josh Ritter, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, Priscilla Ahn and of course the big names Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett and Taj Mahal.

Even our large bucket hats weren't enough to hide from the sun.

Sign of good times.

Grace Potter and the Nocturnals rocking the house. They were awesome!

In between sets we would spend our time chilling in the pop-up, our friends loved it so much they are trying to convince us to move in.

The pop-up in all its glory, Jack Holland and Allison Reilly just can't get enough.

Taj Mahal stole the show, so amazing, even Emmylou Harris was standing on the side of the stage rocking out.

Lovin' it.

The music didn't start 'til noon, so we did get some good riding in around the resort in fields of wildflowers, so pretty.

The crowd was great, everyone camping out and loving it.

Trevor did get a couple of nods for the most bad-ass looking hat category.

Josh Ritter, an Idaho native and crowd favorite, was great. He had a huge smile on his face the whole time and was having such a good time, the crowd loved him! His music rocked too.

Our pick for coolest guy on stage for the weekend, the guitarist for the Josh Ritter Band. You have to admit, this guy has some style.

Lyle Lovett and his large band knows how to do a show, he was so good I don't think there was anyone sitting down at the whole venue. And all 15 members of the band in three piece suits!

What a weekend.
