This scientist and author has been writing and podcasting about “The Hidden Brain,” for years. Shankar Vedantam’s new book is called, “Useful Delusions.” Learn about the power of both positive and negative thinking, in this intriguing interview that is well worth your time.
I’m going to start backing up a few work blogs on this site. Recently I had the pleasure of speaking with our friend and amazing talent, LP.
If you’re not familiar with LP, look into this brilliant person’s success. LP has written songs for Cher, Rhianna, Backstreet Boys, Celine Dion, Christina Aguilera, and many other’s. If you get to see a live LP concert, you will witness a charisma like you’ve never seen. With global fans, LP sells out shows worldwide. At Bumbershoot, I watched fans throw ukuleles onto the stage.
We have been lucky to have LP in our Blue Moon Listener Lounge in the past. With a voice like a songbird, LP quickly had us all captivated.
It was so nice to catch up again with this Zoom interview. Within this, you’ll hear a brand new track. You will get to meet Orson, the dog, and you’ll hear discussions on gender identity, and the upcoming new album. I love the realness of LP. Sometimes the discussion is flirty, sometimes funny, sometimes serious, always genuine. Note to folks viewing at work, this is UNCENSORED and full of colorful swears. Hope you enjoy it! ~ Rochelle

THE BIG COMEBACK: TREEFORT MUSIC FEST RETURNS
BOISE, IDAHO — April 8, 2021 — Treefort Music Fest has announced its return to downtown Boise, Idaho — and it’s
coming back with a double whammy.
Treefort Music Fest postponed its ninth annual festival back in March 2020 in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Today,
the festival announced its big comeback with Treefort 9 set for September 22-26, 2021 in multiple venues throughout
downtown Boise. Treefort is typically held in March and the festival plans to return to its spring schedule. The five-day
emerging arts fest plans to hold the 10th edition of Treefort Music Fest on March 23-27, 2022 — just six months after
Treefort 9 in September 2021.
Fans of Treefort Music Fest can expect a few changes at the 2021 festival, though many Treefort favorites will
remain. Treefort will announce a resurrected Treefort 9 lineup later this month. The forts of the fest will also return,
though many will look and operate a little differently this year than in the past.
Health & Safety
Safety is always a top priority for Treefort Music Fest. Treefort is continuing to work closely with local and state health
officials to determine health and safety measures for the upcoming festival. The festival is making plans A, B, D, C,
and even F for a safe community-run festival in September. Treefort will make announcements in the coming months
regarding what to expect at Treefort 9.
Festival Passes
In order to abide by possible capacity limitations, a limited number of five-day passes will be available for Treefort 9.
General admission, ZIPLINE, and U21 tickets will go on sale with the lineup announcement later this month. Kids age
12 and under are free, accompanied by an adult passholder. At this time, there will be no single-day, single-venue, or
single-show tickets available for Treefort 9. Treefort ticket information can be found at treefortmusicfest.com/tickets.
Owners-Only Passes
More than 900 fans are now part-owners of Treefort Music Fest. Last summer, Treefort launched a crowdfunding
campaign via WeFunder to help the fest survive the months of uncertainty ahead. More than 900 fans contributed
nearly $350,000, which went directly to making the festival happen this year. Treefort Music Fest is forever grateful for
the support and proud to be the first fan-owned and operated music festival. One perk of becoming a Community
Owner is early access to festival passes, which are on sale now.
