Festival at Sandpoint kicks off with Andy Grammar and Walk off the Earth

By Reader Staff

The 44th annual Festival at Sandpoint kicks off Thursday, July 30 with a double-header show featuring Andy Grammer with Walk off the Earth.

The concert kicks off at 7:30 p.m. at War Memorial Field, with gates opening at 6 p.m.

The pop singer-songwriter Grammer’s debut album spawned singles such as “Keep Your Head Up” and “Fine by Me,” which were followed up by his sophomore effort Magazines or Novels, resulting in the triple-platinum single “Honey, I’m Good.” In 2016 he released another platinum hit, “Fresh Eyes,” and has since gathered an energetic fan base.

Returning to the Festival stage is Canadian indie pop band Walk off the Earth, known for its inventive music videos and infectious energy on stage.

The unconventional multi-platinum group has headlined Red Rocks Amphitheater and Wembley Arena, sold out the historic Sydney Opera House and collaborated with everyone from Snoop Dogg to Lindsey Sterling.

WOTE has continued to push the boundaries of what an artist can do, with songs such as “Red Hands,” “Rule The World,” “Fire In My Soul” and “I’ll Be There,” all earning platinum status. The band’s most viral single, “My Stupid Heart,” continues to attract about 1 million streams every week.

This show will be a standard show, with room to dance in front of the stage. Listen to the artists at andygrammer.com and walkofftheearth.com, and purchase tickets at festivalatsandpoint.com.
