The Festival Ends.
The Music Keeps Going.
New releases are becoming a Trails tradition, giving fans fresh music to take home.
For Todd Kieffer, the release of “Black Dog” brought the story full circle. The single arrived during festival week, exactly one year after he wrote it at last year’s Trails of Tales—a song born on the trail, now ready for listeners everywhere.
Sam Tomes added to the pre-festival excitement with “Ember’s Drive (You’re On My Mind).” Fellow three-time TOT performer Brandon Logston also brought new music into the season, releasing “I Want You to Know” on October 2.
