Regardless of the size of the venue, she gives the listener something to ponder with her songs about love, fun, break up and even death, in a way that is easy to hear, sounds familiar, and touches the soul. This seasoned performer who has toured and/or recorded with Berlin, Carmine Appice, Charlie Sexton and more is almost finished with her 7th release on her label, Youghiogheny River Records, “Rivers and Rain,”

Toney Rocks is an artist caught up in the vortex of erratic cross-country tours, using a pen to dig for a not-so self-evident truth, chasing an unheard sound and rubbing a match against a brick wall looking for a spark. There doesn't seem to be another way for him. He's crossed the great barrier into the realms of a chaotic maelstrom where his obsession has taken over all reason. Ask him what his style or genre is and Toney Rocks will probably say, “#$%! I dunno… you tell me. You just gotta listen to it”.

Looking for that perfect lounge vibe in Lava?

The Portneuf Grille & Lounge at the Riverside Inn offers a great non-smoking, peaceful atmosphere with dinner, wine, beer and great cocktails and most of all, live music by Jason Greene.

About Jason: Jason is from Pierce County, Washington and eventually moved to a company town in Southeastern Idaho. He was inspired to start writing by the freewheeling style of Bob Dylan and Townes Van Zandt. Jason is a songwriter, vocalist, guitarist, and harmonica player. He has performed at local venues as a solo performer and as a lead guitarist/vocalist for several bands. Local Animus is his first independently recorded album.

Originally from Vermont, Elle Carpenter has been singing as long as she's been walking. She spent significant childhood years touring around the country with four siblings and her mother, performing and doing workshops at folk festivals, schools and other events.
At age 6 she had her first music studio experience, singing back-up as one of the "Wee-bops" of Central Vermont. Soon afterwards she recorded another album with a folk group called the Fiddleheads. From age 10 to 16 Elle toured with world/folk music group Village Harmony, traveling around the USA, UK, Canada, Denmark and Germany.
In 2009 (after recording and releasing her first solo album "The Best") she was flown to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam to perform at the White Palace Convention Center for a month.
Elle has been touring the USA since 2010, having released two additional pop-rock albums: "With Open Hands" (November 2011) and "Simple Girl" (January 2014).
Elle's fourth album, "Life Just Happens To You" was released on May 22, 2015. This album - an acoustic folk/rock/country compilation - was a true reflection of the diversity she has experienced in her life as a musician, and was Elle's first step into the world of Americana.
Shortly afterwards, Elle signed with Travianna Records of Willis, VA. New album "Sincerely Yours" was released on November 11, 2016. Elle resides in Durango, CO when she's not on the road and enjoys acting in movies and training aerial arts in her free time.

2020 Event Cancelled. New schedule April 23, 24 & 25, 2021.

On behalf of the Lava Hot Springs Folk Festival, we had to make a difficult decision to cancel the 2020 festival.  The regular festival date is the last full weekend in April each year.  We tried to push it back into August 2020 due to Covid-19, but at this time feel it is not prudent to hold the event this year with musicians traveling and the focus of the event on our children’s participation and attendance.  We know all too well that this year has been devastating for our talented friends and do hope that you understand our situation and ask for your continued support of our event.

The Lava Folk Festival will be held (back on its regular schedule), April 23, 24 and 25, 2021 and are hoping to retain the same schedule that we had planned for this year.

Make plans now to attend the Annual Lava Hot Springs Folk Festival!

The event features dozens  of incredible folk artist perfomances:

Friday: 2-9pm

Saturday: 11-9pm

Sunday: 10-Noon
