The Basque rock band, Kokein, kicked off their U.S. tour with two intimate and personal acoustic performances in Southern California at the Kern County Basque Club in Bakersfield and at the Chino Basque Club in Chino. To read more about Kokein’s first show in Bakersfield, please check out the article written by Juliette Camou for EuskalKazeta.

Kokein then traveled to Idaho to perform at the TreeFort Music Festival, which is a five-day festival with many venues mostly in the downtown Boise area. Their first show was at the outdoor stage next to Boise Brewing where they were part of a four-band bill. They were the third band to play and delivered a foot-stomping powerhouse set that effectively stole the show. They carried that momentum into the following night at the Boise Basque Center, doubling down with their trademark high-voltage energy. The band circled back to California, capping off the tour with an special & intimate, high-energy finale at the San Francisco Basque Cultural Center.
