Have you ever been invited to a party, and on the invitation it said something along the lines of from 7:00-?, insinuating that nobody knows when the party was going to end? Well, basically that's what the Beartrap Summer Festival has done this year.
One of the best parts about a Casper summer is, obviously, the Beartrap Summer Festival.
If you're a fan of country, bluegrass, folk, rock, and rap (okay, maybe not rap) then you would be a fan of Jim Lauderdale, as he combines all of those styles into one that has lasted nearly 25 years and has been recorded by artists such as Patty Lovelace and George Straight.
Long Road Home is a long way from home, but that doesn't mean that they're not rocking! This men's group seems to have an affinity for nice clothes, cool facial hair, and awesome music.
Hear Dr. Banjo, Pete Wernick's accounting of his joining Long Road Home and more in this exclusive 'Green Room' Interview from backstage at Beartrap Summer Festival 2011.
The 2011 Beartrap Summer Festival has gone to the dogs! Well, maybe not entirely. But there sure are a lot this year! All kinds of dogs. Labs, German Shepards, whatever kind of dog Beethoven is, Bulldogs, Shitzus; ya know, I wonder what would happen if you bred a Bulldog with a Shitzu
Don't let the name fool you, The 23 String Band ain't no classical orchestra. Combining all sorts of different stringed instruments, 23 also has some very unique voices that adds to this very one of a kind folk-esque band.
Summoning the spirit of She and Him, Johnny Cash and June, Regina Spektor, The Weepies, and others, Haunted Windchimes most certainly left their mark on Beartrap Summer Festival 2011.
The Haunted Windchimes are the only group to play both days of Beartrap Summer Festival 2011 so we were lucky to catch up with them for a few minutes in the middle of their crazy schedule. Check out the video and find out the true meaning behind the song 'Little Bones.' I'll give you a hint... it's not about death.
What's better than seeing The Haunted Windchimes perform at Beartrap Summer Festival 2011? Watching exclusive video of their backstage performance, that's what.
