"Being from a big town, I didn't know that there were a lot of people here who want change," Boyle said. "We want people to know there's solidarity in numbers, and that it's an intergenerational group. I'm certainly not a millennial."

That's a thought echoed by co-organizer and event manager Adam Christianson, who drew attention to the mix of folk singers and lo-fi indie artists, dancers and DJs on the bill.

"We tried to pick a diverse group of artists to show there's a lot of people from different backgrounds coming together," Christianson said. "There's a lot of groups that circulate but don't come together as one cohesive unit. We'd like to bring that community together."

Many of the performers provided their own reasons for performing.

"This election will be the first time in my life I've had a chance to vote for someone who has lived the best ideals of my generation," singer-songwriter Steve Thorpe said in the program for the event.

"(Sanders) addresses the Native American Tribes and is willing to work with us in the correct manner, nation to nation," Miguel Wambli said in the program.

Christianson was also happy to announce that Nicole Willis, Bernie Sanders' National Tribal Outreach Director, would attend and speak at the event.
