2024 Recap + PhotosBox Elder is an indie punk outfit from Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Drawing influence from late 90's/early 2000's indie and emo bands (like Built To Spill, The Get Up Kids, Death Cab for Cutie, The Anniversary) and blending that with modern day emo and pop punk (bands like Tigers Jaw, Balance And Composure, The Menzingers, The Wonder Years) Box Elder bring a unique approach to the pop-punk aesthetic blending tight, high energy and roaring guitars with booming and aethereal synthesizers.
Ticket to Space was formed in early 2018 and brings together some of Teton Valley’s finest musicians in this originals-based project dedicated to bringing cosmic mountain groove music to the masses. David Bundy (Aaron Davis & the Mystery Machine, Wyat Lowe and the Mayhem Kings, & others) lays down the low end on the bass and is our primary vocalist. Tom Toxby (Irie Sll, Sensei, Angie Stevens Band) honed his 6 string chops in the Denver music scene for many years before touching down in the valley in 2014. Rachel Gray (Chanman Roots Band, Calle Mambo) plays trumpet, percussion and adds background vocals to the mix. Lyle Newcomb lays down the beats on the drum kit, bringing the grooves so necessary for interstellar liftoff.
Cache Funk is Jackson’s newest 4-piece funk band made up of members Clay Humphrey, Joe Rudd, Collin Binko, and Tom Goicoechea. Big vocals, funky grooves, and tight arrangements will have you feeling pretty good about life!
"Hailing from Teton Valley is 5 piece rock band, The Sunday Killers. Formed in 2023 by a collection of mountain-dwelling misfits who couldn't get enough of the grunge era, their exciting sound fuses heavy-hitting bass and punchy guitar with head-banging drums to bring you punk classics from the 70s & 80s alongside Smashing Pumpkins, Black Sabbath & Green Day. Come ready to rock out and embrace the edgy!"
Strumbucket is a five-piece "twang-funk" band from Jackson, Wyoming known for their colorful multi-genre live shows. Drawing from a wide range of sounds, their original music weaves together funked bass grooves, banjo driven twang, latin beats, electro-psych synth lines, and classic rock guitar. Listening to the group's offerings, one gets the sense that a good laugh is one piece of the puzzle that keeps the fun meter in check.
Henry & The Moguls is a pop-folk-grass band formed in the Teton Counties. The band consists of Henry Pepin on guitar, Avery Lazes on bass, Mark Engel on fiddle, and Andy Gabel on banjo and dobro. They deliver high-energy originals and grassy dance covers that will keep your stoke high and your tips up.
“An essential force in the Americana roots music scene” (KHOL 89.1FM), Aaron Davis & The Mystery Machine were likened to heroes by Wyoming Public Radio as “the vibe of The Band going throughout.” The quartet sets the stage with poetic amplitude, three-part vocal harmony and a deep well of sonic textures in a downhome fusion of Wyo-Americana, roots-country, ‘70s soul-rock, pensive indie-folk, and “searing slide guitar" (Country Weekly). Over the course of a dozen albums of original music, Davis has been described as a “truly phenomenal songwriter” (Americana UK) with “a combination that goes down like top-shelf bourbon” (Austin Chronicle).

Inland Isle’s members were bound to find each other in the small – but surprisingly deep – music scene in Jackson, Wyoming. Drawing from indie rock, Americana and chamber pop influences, the four-piece band’s songs are anchored by the sometimes introspective, other times incisive lyrics sung by songwriter-guitarist Patrick Chadwick atop lush vocal harmonies.
Released in 2021, Inland Isle’s eight-song debut album, Time Has Changed Us, reckoned with the aftermath of upheaval in America and its effects on relationships, community and livelihoods. It was lauded by Glide magazine as a “big Laurel Canyon sound,” and by Under the Radar as “rich heartland rock, folk harmonies, and anthemic vocal hooks.” The band has been releasing new singles from their forthcoming follow-up album, In Denial, due out in early 2025.
Often confused as brothers at shows, Chadwick and lead guitarist Dusty Nichols each grew up in Massachusetts – and even lived in the same Boston-area neighborhood – but the pair of songwriters didn’t meet until moving cross-country. Inland Isle is rounded out by prolific musicians Leif Routman on bass and Liam O’Neill on drums.
Sghetti is a collective of musicians from Jackson Hole and Teton Valley. Originally formed when local bands Sneaky Pete and Rude Noodle collaborated in 2018. Sghetti was cooked up shortly after and quickly began adding more musicians to the pot. The now 8 piece band features an eclectic mix of funk, soul, and reggae all intertwined with saucy improvisation. Sghetti blends a mix of classic and unique covers with original tunes cooked up in the Tetons that are guaranteed to have you moving and noodling on the dance floor.
Somewhere between J.J. Cale, Allman Brothers and Black Keys lies the authentic music of Batdorf & The Brother Wolf. Featuring the original songwriting and vocals of guitarist Michael Batdorf, this Wydaho based rock blues power trio delivers a full sound with tight arrangements from Mike Patton (keys) and Andy Peterson (drums).
