bluegrass music

It came. It went. We're spent. We loved this year's line-up for Beartrap 2014--from Jalan Crossland, Littlest Birds and Spencer Bohren, to Johnny Sketch, The Deadly Gentlemen and Nitty Gritty Dirt Band--the bluegrass, country, jazz, insert other awesome music type here, rocked our socks off...

Concert goers from all over Wyoming packed into Beartrap Meadow to hear a range of voices, including the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. It was a perfect Sunday afternoon, and the crowds were eager to express their love for all things bluegrass.

The Deadly Gentlemen hit the stage on Sunday afternoon, adding a strong beat and eclectic tune to an outstanding bluegrass crowd. The four-piece ensemble, complete with cello, banjo, guitar and percussion, kept a strong voice and made crowds erupt in hoots and clapping...

Clad in white with matching black pants, the guys looked dapper as they preached a little bit of the good-for-your-soul bluegrass gospel to early festival-goers...

Take a deep breath. Do you smell that? It's the smell of air. Rustic living. Trees. Dirt. Manly things. So it's no surprise that the rugged, masculinity of Casper Mountain brought about the best of the best in lumberjack-like, mountain-man-esque, bearded wonders...

When Johnny Sketch and The Dirty Notes took the stage at the 2014 Beartrap Summer Festival, there was one guy who popped up to his feet and got down with his bad self. He was in such a good mood, dancing the night away, that the band even pointed him out multiple times during their performance...

Johnny Sketch and The Dirty Notes belted out a rhythmic jazz with saxophones, guitars, bass and guitars Saturday night, as they took the stage as the last performance of the evening. Beartrap Summer Festival closed out the day with a group of festival goers dancing, eating, and generally having a good time...

Multi-talented Spencer Bohren wasn't afraid to pass along the microphone to fellow acts at Beartrap Summer Festival this year---especially when they happen to be his talented family. Take a peek at the various performers, as well as Bohren himself, in the photo gallery below...
