Now 17 years old, Park County local Jillian Nordberg has become a fixture of the Park County Fair, returning this week for her fourth year.
Her fair performances come on the heels of performances at the Chamberlin Inn, Silver Dollar Bar and events at the Cody Stampede Rodeo.
Nordberg began performing at age 6 when she played at a teacher conference, and from there she began playing recitals. At 11 she taught herself to play guitar.
“I just really enjoy it, I’ve always had a good time, and I like interacting with people too and it also helps me [spread] my music,” Nordberg told the Tribune a couple of years before, adding “I’ve just always enjoyed doing it, I’ve had a lot of fun.”
Bret Savage, a local musician who basically runs the fair’s free stage, has seen her rise in the local music scene.
He said she’ll be back with a mix of regular cover tunes and original music she’s written.
“She’s high energy and she’s got a big voice,” Savage said.
Nordberg will perform at the Pepsi Free Stage on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday at 7 p.m.
