Jeff Crosby, a familiar face on Wood River Valley stages, will be among those performing at the second annual Baldy Bluebird Music Festival July 3-4.
Crosby will be joined by country music stars Ian Munsick, Kip Moore, Corey Kent, The Castellows and Jeremy McComb, with the July 4 concert capped by fireworks.
Tickets are on sale now at https://www.showpass.com/baldy-bluebird-music-festival/#tickets for the two-night music festival being presented at River Run Plaza over the Fourth of July holiday.
This year’s beneficiaries are Idaho BaseCamp, which teaches children about the environment and leadership in the outdoors, and the Blaine County Charitable Fund, which provides emergency assistance for those needing help with rent, utilities and medical bills.
“After making its inaugural debut last summer, we’re thrilled to welcome guests and the larger Wood River community back for the second installment of Baldy Bluebird Music Festival this Fourth of July," said Pete Sonntag, Sun Valley Resort general manager and vice president. "There’s no better way to kick off the summer season here in Sun Valley than with sunny days of hiking, biking, and adventuring finished off with live music at River Run.”
The July 3 concert will kick off at 6 p.m. with Jeremy McComb, known for his blend of country grit and rock energy coupled with authentic songwriting. Corey Kent, whom Rolling Stone Magazine claimed is “poised to be country’s latest red dirt star,” performs at 7 p.m.
The evening will be capped at 8:30 p.m. by Ian Munsick, named an “Artist to Watch” by Spotify, CMT Fender, MusicRow and others. The Wyoming native sings songs of unfiltered tales of romance and ranch life, his sophomore album “White Buffalo: Introduce You to God” now out with the duet “Long Live Cowgirls.”
The July 4 concert will kick off at 6 p.m. with Jeff Crosby, an Idaho native who landed two songs on the hit FX TV show “Sons of Anarchy.” He has performed with Reckless Kelly, Micky & the Motorcars and Widespread Panic.
At 7 is The Castellows—three sisters from a Georgia cattle farm—were nominated for CMT Digital-First Performance of the Year at the 2024 CMT Music Awards, while also being named a Sirius XM “Highway Find” artist.
Kip Moore will take the stage at 8:30 p.m. performing his southern country rock. Fireworks will splash across the sky immediately following the concert.
