The weather turned out to be no where near as hot as predicted. I set my sun tent up in the mostly shady area and was quite comfortable all weekend long.

Targhee Fest had an outstanding lineup of performers this year. Some of my favorites were Commonheart, Taj Mahal, Los Lobos, Larkin Poe, Galactic, The Motet and of course, Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue.

This year's Targhee Fest was fantastic yet a bit on the warm side.

The highlight for me was Karl Denson performing a tribute to the Alman Brothers.

Targhee Fest this year was well attended and featured some very good bands. The best one was Booker T. He put on an absolutely amazing performance.

This weekend was the 12th annual Targhee Music Festival.

Pictured is my friend Jess Collins who worked hospitality services for the artists who were performing.

I attended Targhee Fest this weekend. The weather was kinda funky but I had a good time anyway.

The music was great (as usual) and there were many photo opportunities.

Of special note: on Friday, Taj Mahal was scheduled to perform the second to last set of the day. They had to cancel so Warren Haynes of Government Mule played a solo acoustic set before the whole of Government Mule closed out the night. Quite a treat!

Note: I had to miss last year's festival as I had to remain in St. Louis to deal with serious health issues.

Targhee Fest is always a lot of fun. It also features a "target rich" environment for my candid photos of people. Pictured are my friends Jess and Megan.

This was my first exposure to Grace Potter & the Nocturnals who have become one of my favorite groups to see.

Grace Potter and the Nocturnals were the starring act at this summer's Targhee Festival. Grace remarked that it was the first time the "Nocturnals" played there at night! Unfortunately, that group has gotten so popular that I am afraid we will never have them again at Targhee. I hope I am wrong.

More music. More photos.

A story attached to this photo:

Several years later, I was having dinner in The Royal Wolf with my good friend Mari Castello. As we were leaving, Julie was coming into the restaurant. I struck up a conversation with her and told her about this photo and that it was posted on my web site.

She and her husband Matt have become good friends of mine. Julie and I occasionally do hikes together.
