Second Annual Free Concerts on the Commons
Sundays @ 4PM
Kick off your shoes, gather friends and family, and come ready to groove in Teton Village this summer. From July 17th to August 14th Concerts on the Commons will bring the sound and spirit of outdoor live music to the Tetons. On July 17th, John Nemeth will kick off the series with crisp acoustic rhythms, followed by an all-star line up for July and August.
The 2011 line-up is at follows:
| The 2011 Concert on the Commons series kicks off with John Nemeth, a rising blues star who has performed at festivals all over the world. His sound is reminiscent of B.B. King and Ray Charles. Throughout his 10-year career, the Boise native has opened for the likes of Robert Cray, Keb Mo' and Earl Thomas. |
| The Congress blends feel good American music with authentic Southern R&B, produing a fresh rock sound. The group's "Back Where You Are" was chosen to air on CNN as part of a world wide fundraising campaing to aid relief efforts in earquake strewn Haiti. |
| California's Mother Hips have been true indie music pioneers for nearly two decades. Through their journey, the Hips have played alongside the likes of super-producer Rick Rubin, Wilco and Johnny Cash. |
| Recent Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee Wanda Jackson has had a pivotal role in the evolution of pop music since she was a teenager in the mid-50s. She continues to win over new, young fans such as White Stripes guitarist/vocalist Jack White who produced her latest album. |
| This LA-based ensemble blends deep funk, soul and jazz in their show playing serious grooves reminiscent of James Brown. Last summer, Breakestra opened for De La Soul in Central Park. |
The Village Commons is the new favorite outdoor venue in Jackson Hole, and is the ideal home for Concerts on the Commons. The Commons feature a pop-jet fountain to splash in when it’s warm, fire pits for when it cools and natural rock amphitheatre seating. The surrounding shops and restaurants are open for great food, drinks and shopping.
These shows benefit, the Jackson Hole Music Experience as well as the Teton Artlab— both are a Jackson-based, registered 501c3 non-profit organizations focused on art, music education and performance. Each event will again feature a local JHME rock n’ roll camp band, young local kids displaying their talent, as well as nationally- and internationally-recognized touring acts.
The START bus is running, offering convenient public transportation from the town of Jackson. Dogs and glass products should be left at home. Low-back chairs are recommended.
Concerts on the Commons is presented by the Teton Village Association, the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Poppa Presents and Silver Star Wireless with help from the Jackson Hole Music Experience. Join us for the highlight of the upcoming summer season!
