Join the Town of Silverthorne for a free community concert with Blitzen Trapper at July First Friday on Friday, July 5 at Rainbow Park from 6 to 9 p.m. Local band Moonstone Quill will kick off the evening, playing from 6 to 7 p.m. and Blitzen Trapper will take the stage at 7:30 p.m. Enjoy live music, and free kid's activities like face painting, crafts, and more at this summer celebration.Launched roughly two decades ago in Portland, OR, Blitzen Trapper garnered early attention with a series of self-released albums before breaking out internationally with a pair of critically acclaimed LPs (2007’s Wild Mountain Nation and 2008’s Furr) that would cement their status at the forefront of the modern indie folk revival. Rolling Stone hailed the band’s “hazy, psychedelic Americana,” while NPR praised their “explosive live performances and infectious roots-rock swagger,” and The New York Times compared their songs to Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, and Neil Young. Dates with Fleet Foxes, Wilco, and Dawes followed, as did festival appearances at Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Newport Folk, and Coachella, among others. In the years to come, the band would go on to release six more similarly lauded studio albums, culminating with 2020’s Holy Smokes Future Jokes, which Mojo proclaimed “sound[s] like the Beatles at Big Pink.”
