Your Sundays Just Got a Whole Lot Better
Teton Village’s only summer concert series is back in full swing. Every Sunday at 5 pm from July 18th to August 29th the Village Commons will come alive with live music and dancing. Six shows of varying artists and genres are on deck to play and rock the base area. Admission is FREE and we recommend bringing a picnic and chairs or a blanket for the lawn area. Several Teton Village shops will also be open to buy food and drinks to bring to the concert.
Below is a list of who is playing each week and a quick background of the groups to get you ready. All events will be rain or shine, summer Teton Village storms pass through quickly, and Concert on the Commons has only been stopped due to weather twice in 10 years.
We look forward to seeing you out there every Sunday!
The Burrough- Sun Jul 25 @5pm
Steeped in classic soul standards and outfitted with modern flair, The Burroughs are a nine piece band with a powerhouse sound that has been electrifying audiences across Colorado and beyond. Since 2013, the band has lit up stages with their trademark brand of “Sweaty Soul Music”, quickly earning their rightful place as one of the best live bands in the region.
One Ton Pig- Sun Aug 01 @5pm
It’s hard to believe that a band that recently released its fourth critically acclaimed record,
played hundreds of shows, appeared at festivals and topped regional polls, began as an accident.
But nine years ago, Americana visionaries One Ton Pig were just two guys with no band contracted to
play a bluegrass night at a local watering hole.
The Jackson Hole, Wyoming sextet melds the hard-luck singer-songwriter tradition of artists like Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, and Steve Earle with the dazzling musicality and imaginative genre-bending of jam band musicians for a fingerprint aesthetic that blurs the lines between folk, country, jazz, gospel, bluegrass, and rock ‘n’ roll. One Ton Pig is Michael Batdorf, guitar, vocals, main songwriter; Tim Farris, mandolin, vocals, co-songwriter; Justin Smith, guitar, vocals, co-songwriter; Matt Herron, violin; Marty Camino, bass; and Jason Baggett, drums.
Butcher Brown- Sun Aug 08 @5pm
Pulsing from the nerve center of Jellowstone Studios in Richmond VA, Butcher Brown takes careful note of the history and legacy of jazz and throws caution to the wind. Their musical vibe blends jazz with hip hop, funk, rap, rock and soul. The group honors each musical genre and, at the same time, challenges traditional musical boundaries. The result is their most exciting collection of tracks to date. Butcher Brown features Tennishu, Morgan Burrs, Corey Fonville, Andrew Randazzo, and DJ Harrison.
Judge Roughneck-Sun Aug 15 @5pm
If you have spent any time at all on the Denver music scene, Judge Roughneck needs no introduction. Their blend of ska and reggae pays tribute to both the early 80’s British 2-Tone movement and the original jazz-laced ska of Jamaica, infused with soul, has been electrifying audiences since 1995.
They have headlined every venue you know plus they’ve opened for almost every ska and reggae legend who has passed through town including UB40, Burning Spear, Rebelution, General Public, The Skatalites, The Specials, The English Beat, Fishbone, Damian Marley, Steel Pulse, and The Wailers. They have appeared at the prestigious Reggae on the Rocks Festival at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheater 20 times.
Yam Haus- Sun Aug 22 @5pm
It stays agnostic to our differences and brings us together. Yam Haus invite everyone into the embrace of their neon-hued, dancefloor-tailored alternative pop. The Minneapolis quartet-Lars Pruitt [lead vocals], Jake Felstow [drums], Zach Beinlich [bass], and Seth Blum [guitar]-fuse together intimate songcraft with stadium-size ambition. After independently amassing nearly 15 million total views and streams, playing to sold out crowds at legendary venues such as First Avenue, and building a fervent fanbase, they instantly captivate on their second full-length album in 2021.
“The ‘Yam’ in our name stands for ‘You are me’,” explains Jake. “It’s our take on treating people well and with empathy. At our live shows, we want anyone to feel like they’re welcome. It’s a space where you don’t have to look a certain way or belong to a certain group. You can just dance and let loose.”
Israel Nash- Sun Aug 29 @5pm
“Music can be the space where people think–even just for a few minutes,” says Israel Nash. “The space is not about changing their lives or political views or their party ticket. It’s about creating something that prompts reflection in a moment–and those reflections have other chain reactions.”
Nash is sitting outside in sun, thinking. It’s something he does often, looking out over endless Texas hills that surround his family’s rural home. He’s thought a lot over the last several years about music–not only how to make it, but why. What is the endgame for Nash, a critically acclaimed rock-and-roll groovesman, personally?
