Artists from Treefort are performing in the first-floor rotunda of the Capitol right now, as part of an offshoot of the indie-rock music festival dubbed “Treefort.” Here, Alicia Murphy performs, filling the rotunda, all the way up, with sound; people are gathered here and there on upper levels to listen and watch.

Voteform will have performers at the Capitol today from noon to 1:30, and tomorrow from noon to 2 p.m. The event’s Facebook page invites the public to “Enjoy a selection of acoustic artists from the Treefort Music Fest in the rotunda of the Capitol! Come get your democracy on, register to vote, check out upcoming events, and enjoy the sounds echoing in the people's house!”
