Despite its relatively small size, Sandpoint is home to a music scene that’s hipper and more active than any other town in the Inland Northwest, arguably even Spokane. They have a cool independent radio station, KPND, which plays a diverse mix of jam bands, alternative album rock, new folk and even world music. Around town, something’s happening somewhere every night, from local acoustic guitarists performing solo at one of the many plush wine bars and cozy café’s to a diverse lot of nationally known acts, most notably at the annual festival at Sandpoint. This week, like nearly every other week in recent memory, Sandpoint’s musical calendar is packed full of intriguing events that make that short Northern trek seem like an absolute necessity/OrangeTV, Get Out! North Idaho. More here.
