Musician Returns To Sandpoint Roots

In 2002, Mick Coon strapped his guitar to his back, walked into the Festival at Sandpoint office and asked the staff what it would take to hire him to play at the popular summer music festival. “I told them I’d play for them right then,” said Coon, now 25 years old. He still can’t believe he was so bold. After auditioning in their offices that day, Coon was hired as the opening act for performer Keb Mo. At the festival that summer, Coon strummed his guitar in front of his hometown audience and sang for 90 minutes onstage. “That’s where I really got the bug (to perform),” said Coon, a 2001 graduate of Sandpoint High School/ Patty Hutchens , SR Handle Extra.
