Off to hear the music

Tomorrow after work we are dragging the pop-up trailer over the pass and spending the weekend listening to awesome music at the Grand Targhee Music Festival. Yippy! Some of the big acts this year are Emmylou Harris, Taj Mahal, Derek Trucks Band, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, Martin Sexton and Lyle Lovett. So excited! Will take lots of pics and give an update when we return. Have a great weekend!

The stage is set up right at the bottom of one of the ski runs at Grand Targhee Resort.

Lots of cowboy hats for shade, we are in Wyoming (well, technically Grand Targhee is Idaho) after all!

They turn on the snow-making machines during the mid-day heat to cool everyone off. How convenient, huh?

Love this guy...it's Martin Sexton, but yes he does bear a striking resemblance to Jack Black. He will open up the festival on Friday night.

This is the scene. Isn't it pretty?

Who doesn't know this face? Such a great performer, Lyle closes the festival on Sunday night. Last time I saw him play here, two years ago at the same festival him and his 17-member band all came on stage in 3 -piece suits, it was an amazing show.

All pics were found on the Grand Targhee Music Festival website.
