Boise isn’t one of those places where you hop out of bed and say “I think we should go to Boise this weekend!”  Actually, I don’t think it would have ever been a destination on my list, but then low and behold Treefort Music Festival was born.

Live Review: Arctic Monkeys with The Vaccines @ Showbox SoDo 8/10

By Dan Digs | Published: August 12, 2011
