Treefort Music Fest will feature nearly 400 acts when it takes control of downtown Boise.

Headliners such as Japanese Breakfast and Lake Street Dive will draw large and enthusiastic crowds to the sold-out festival, which runs Wednesday through Sunday.

But tons of interesting and lesser-known musicians will also rock the stages.

That’s where festival director Eric Gilbert comes in – with group choices to guide you.

Gilbert highlighted 28 acts for this article. The artists he recommends – and hopes they will be recognized and appreciated for their talents.

“Please, when you come to Treefort this week, help us defend and protect the viability of Returning Music by following all COVID security protocols and masking yourself. …

“… Most importantly, remember to be kind to each other. The mental health pandemic that has arisen from the COVID pandemic is a serious issue. Music can help and will help if we all stay engaged and stand up for our music community by following thoughtful guidelines on how we can safely come together. “
