This Tunes on the Trail event features Box of Rocks, a group at the intersection of bluegrass, honky tonk, swing, rockabilly, and roots. The current iteration of the band hardly resembles a standard string band, with a full drum kit, pedal steel, digital effects, and a repertoire of catchy originals that consistently draw applause, cheering, two-stepping, and a downright good time. Box of Rocks consistently brings it, with hot picking, tight grooves, and catchy hooks; they are consistently fun and an exciting emerging act in Wyoming.
Lonnie Porter, superintendent of Seminoe State Park, stated, “We are thrilled to have Tunes on the Trail at Seminoe State Park. It is the perfect setting for Wyoming music to be enjoyed, and we know that, for many visitors, it may be their first time exploring one of Wyoming’s beautiful state parks.”
Standard day-use fees apply—$7 for Wyoming residents and $12 for non-residents per vehicle. However, all Tunes on the Trail events are free, and no additional event fees are charged.
Guests are encouraged to bring chairs or blankets, explore the park, and take in the full experience. If you plan to hike, be sure to bring water, sunscreen, bug spray, appropriate footwear, and anything you might need. In case of inclement weather, updates will be posted on the park's social media channels at @SeminoeStatePark.
While registration is not mandatory, it is encouraged to help staff plan effectively. Please RSVP on the event's Eventbrite page, located on the official Facebook page at bit.ly/TunesAtSeminoe.
