Lander at Oyster Ridge Music Festival

Another year has passed us by and another appearance at the Oyster Ridge Music Festival is under our belt. The folks in Kemmerer, WY really know how to host a festival and we’re always honored to be a part of it. Thank you to the festival crew and coordinators for letting us participate in the event and thank you to those that danced and watched our Friday and Saturday sets. We had a ton of fun and we sincerely look forward to next year’s appearance!

Tyler Stenson at Louis Lake WY

I’ve just returned from my trip to Wyoming and I’m truly inspired- I’m amazed at what a secluded mountain lake can do for the soul and for writer’s block. I can’t say that I have a hundred new songs to share with you but it was a great chance to clear my head and piece together a few lines that have had me puzzled for months. Now in Portland, I’ll be sinking back into reality over the next few weeks and sorting my thoughts onto paper just in time for Lander’s return to the Oyster Ridge Music Festival in Kemmerer, WY. Check out the show schedule to the right and be sure to come listen to my new thoughts as they appear in song.
