Bonamo to Perform at Curt Gowdy State Park as Part of Tunes on the Trail Concert Series

CHEYENNE, Wyo. – July 7, 2025 – Wyoming State Parks and Cultural Resources is pleased to present Bonamo as part of the 2025 Tunes on the Trail concert series—a new initiative that blends live acoustic music with outdoor recreation in Wyoming’s scenic state parks.

The Curt Gowdy State Park event will occur on Friday, July 18. Visitors will have the opportunity to enjoy a guided hike (optional) followed by a live, 90-minute performance surrounded by nature.

• Hike Start Time: 6:30 p.m.
• Meeting Location for Hike: Brush Creek Trail beginning at the bottom parking lot of Hynds Lodge 
• Hike Distance and Difficulty: Just under 1 mile long and intermediate in difficulty, with a few uphill sections
• Performance Time: 7-8:30 p.m.
• Performance Location: Amphitheater off of Hynds Lodge Road

This Tunes on the Trail event features Bonamo, a talented Wyoming-based band from Cheyenne, WY, known for American popular music that chronicles life in the modern west with an exhilarating blend of old and new. 

Adam McKay, superintendent of Curt Gowdy State Park, stated, “Curt Gowdy State Park is thrilled with the collaboration between State Parks, the Office of Outdoor Recreation, and the Arts Council. State Parks and Cultural Resources share the same department, and when we come together, great ideas like Tunes on the Trail are born. This program will blend recreation and the arts with a concert from local musicians immediately following a hike.  I can not wait to see how this year's event turns out.  Undoubtedly, it will be a great experience for all who come.”

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 else you might need. In case of inclement weather, updates will be posted on the park's social media channels at @CurtGowdyStatePark. 

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/TunesAtGowdy.
