Every summer, people are drawn to the lights and the fantastic sound of music coming from a tent out in a field in Sandpoint, Idaho. There is dancing, wine tasting, food, friendship, and love. This is Festival at Sandpoint. We were there the second night to see Brandi Carlile, a rising star who is referred to as “the alt-country-folk-rock darling” from Washington State. I was actually turned onto Brandi’s music a couple of years ago when I heard her singing “The Story” on the radio, and I’ve been a fan ever since, so when I heard she was coming to the festival, I purchased tickets that same day.

Opening for Brandi, was Ian McFeron, another artist from the Northwest with kind of an acoustic folk-rock sound. Really good!
Ahhh…standing barefoot in the grass with a glass of champagne in my hand, watching people laugh and dance, chatting with the people around us, and listening to Brandi Carlile sing “Josephine”…It was pure magic.
Happy to see you enjoying yourself and finding peace with the sounds that make you feel good!

Thanks, Mel. I haven't seen any posts from you in a while. Hope you're enjoying summer.
