An Emo Interview: Inside Treefort Music Fest w/ Co-Founder Eric Gilbert
Send a text
This week on The Emo Hour, Katie and Nani kick things off the only way they know how, by asking: What’s making us emo right now?
Nani brings a painfully relatable tale of a text snafu (you truly hate to see it), while Katie has a full-circle emo-parenting moment when she realizes that none other than Patrick Stump — yes, that Patrick Stump — sings the theme song for Spidey and His Amazing Friends. Elder emos, assemble.
Then, the hosts welcome special guest Eric Gilbert — co-founder of Treefort Music Fest and CEO/co-founder of Duck Club Entertainment — for a conversation that hits all the right notes. The trio bonds over Idaho pride, a deep love of live music, and their shared public radio roots before diving into everything fans need to know about this year’s Treefort scheduled for March 25-29, 2026 in Boise, Idaho.
Naturally, they’re especially hyped about the emo and pop-punk acts on the lineup, including Hellogoodbye, The Early November, Knuckle Puck, and The Wonder Years. Get ready for feelings, feedback loops, and maybe a little friendly fangirling.
After the interview, Katie and Nani catch up on all the latest emo news and, of course, close things out with their Emo Lyrics of the Day — because what’s an episode without at least one line that sends you spiraling (in a good way)?
Grab your headphones, revisit your AIM away message energy, and settle in. It’s an emo heart-to-heart you won’t want to miss.
