Duck Club Entertainment is a live music and entertainment promoter most well-known for creating Treefort Music Fest. The company was founded in 2011 by Eric Gilbert, a former touring band member who dreamed of putting Boise on the map for big-name talent while also giving local talent a reason to s tick around. The first rendition of Treefort was put on by the company in 2012, and its growth has not stopped since. Duck Club now has two downtown Boise venues for hosting musicians year-round after opening Treefort Music Hall and purchasing Shrine Social Club. The footprint of the music festival continues to grow across Boise as well. “People don’t think of arts, culture, and music as being a business,” Gilbert said. “So, one of the things that I’m passionate about is being a leader on that front and showing that the creative economy is a real thing. You can be one of the top 43 fastest-growing companies in Idaho putting on rock concerts.” ...read more read less
