Another weekend full of music descends upon the region that will have both sides of Tetons jamming into the night. An eclectic lineup of musicians will be feature sounds of mountain blue grass, Americana, and electronic beats. We preview some of the notable acts visiting the Tetons this weekend.

Music on Main: Paul Thorn

Continuing its incredible outdoor music series, Music on Main welcomes Paul Thorn Band to Victory City Park. Thorn’s rustic Americana rock is authentic and pure. His songs have knack for using snapshots of everyday life as elements of story.

The Tupelo Mississippi song writer is touring the country to promote their new album “Pimps & Preachers”. Thorn has opened for Bonnie Raitt, Mark Knopfler, and John Prine among many other headliners, and made some of the most emotionally restless yet fully accessible music of our time.

Singer-songwriter Kristy Kruger will open the evening wit her captivating voice and confident style. This is the last Music on Main event for the 2011 season. Consistently, the series in Teton Valley has boasted one of the strongest free all-ages lineups in the Yellowstone region. Concertgoers are encouraged to bring their own chairs and blankets. Vendors will be on-site to provide a variety of food options and beer and wine will be available for purchase. START Bus will provide rides to the event from Alta, Driggs, or Jackson.

Concert on the Commons: Breakestra

• Village Commons – Teton Village, WY
• 4:00pm
• Free
• www.breakestra.com
• Presented by: Poppa Presents

Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, 89.1 KHOL, and the Teton Art Lab continue their Concert in the Commons series in Teton Village. The popular outdoor event welcome Breakestra to the stage this weekend.

Breakestra was first formed as a live ensemble playing “covers” of music that had been sampled in late 80s & early 90s hip-hop. The style in which the Breakestra plays in the live setting is much influenced by late 60’s and early 70’s funk & soul-jazz music. If you were to construct a family tree of LA bands, Breakestra would be mentioned in the same breath as Weapon of Choice, Fishbone, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jane’s Addiction, Mesh of Mind and Ozomatli. This band is sure to funk the village into a grove on Sunday-funday.

 

 

Enjoy this action packed weekend in The Tetons. We’ll see you in the crowd and look forward to the jams.
