When you think of Barbershop harmony, the word "quartet" usually comes to mind. Not so with the Oil City Slickers, the all-male Barbershop Harmony group from Casper. All are welcome. No experience necessary. Just show up with a heart for God and for song.

Perhaps best known for their performance of Richie Valens' La Bamba, Los Lobos (Spanish for "The Wolves") have been performing together for over 40 years. With multiple Grammy awards in their collective prize closets, it's no surprise that this class act can still rock just as hard today as when they first recorded in 1977.

Big Daddy Love made sure to bring their signature energy to the meadow. If there is a more perfect act to play before headliners Los Lobos, we're stumped.

Big Daddy Love was the perfect act to go ahead of headlining act Los Lobos. Their bluegrass/soul/rockabilly sound definitely left the audience feeling the love.

Bare feet and Bluegrass. Makes sense to us.

So, try as we might, we couldn't get Vanilla Ice to agree to play the 2015 Beartrap Summer Festival. That's okay, though, because One Child Left Behind blew us away with the best cover of the song that we've seen, well, ever. You should probably take a moment to watch it right now. Don't worry. We'll wait. :-)

The 2015 Beartrap Summer Festival kicked off with Casper's own Tom Coryell and The Incorrigibles, who brought their unique blend of rock, rhythm and blues, soul, funk, and jazz.

See what happens when people notice the rubber snake on the ground... and what they do when it jumps up at them!

It may have taken 40 years to get Rodney Crowell (yes, I know that this is only the 19th Annual Beartrap Summer Festival), but we've finally made it happen... and he didn't disappoint. I could go on about his 40 years worth of music, accolades and awards, not the least of which was his 1990 Grammy for Best Country & Western Song, but I think the video and photos below tell the story better tha
