The amount of acts making their way out to the \u201cHole\u201d this summer is in a word massive, which easily could make this music guide a tome rivaling the likes of War and Peace, but obviously with a much hipper soundtrack.

Jackson<\/em><\/strong> Hole Live<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Jackson-Hole-Live\"<\/a>Jackson\u2019s favorite FREE<\/em><\/strong> outdoor concert series at the base of Snow King returns this summer for more of the same great vibes. Every year is different with a new lineup, but you can\u2019t beat hanging out with some friends and family on a beautiful night right in town listening to live music. The series doesn\u2019t have a set day, so you may find Wednesday suddenly your new favorite day of the week. Since the music schedule changes from gig to gig make sure you stay in the know and don\u2019t suffer a relapse of FOMO (fear of missing out) when you show up to work and everyone is raving about last night\u2019s ridiculous show. Don’t be that guy or girl. Here\u2019s a highlight of some of the Jackson Hole Live schedule and to get the rest of the lineup go to jacksonholelivemusic.com<\/a>.<\/em> <\/em><\/p>\n

The John Butler Trio<\/em> <\/em><\/p>\n

The series kicks off Sunday, June 21 at 5:30 pm as Jackson Hole Live hosts the 10th Annual Crawfish Boil. The John Butler Trio gets things going as the headliner with their special blend of sounds as an eclectic jam band. Unless you are in the know they may be new to you, but this band is big in Australia, from which they hail. Their last three albums have debuted at #1 in the land down under. Summer Solstice, Father\u2019s Day, the Crawfish Boil, and Jackson Hole Live all in one day make this an amazing kickoff to summer.<\/p>\n

Lyrics Born<\/em> <\/em><\/p>\n

Lyrics Born has been doing his own thing in the rap game for quite sometime, with eight albums under his belt he\u2019s a mainstay in the hip hop game. If you were lucky you may have caught him at tour stops the last few years in Victor, Idaho, but on Wednesday, July 15, he\u2019ll save you a ride over the pass. The Bay Area native is sure to get your head bobbing with his fresh freestyle flows.<\/p>\n

Karl Denson\u2019s Tiny Universe<\/em> <\/em><\/p>\n

Karl Denson lives on the road, with about 150 shows a year, which means you may have the chance to see him and his band somewhere else, but this is the only chance to get funky with this tight music crew in Jackson this summer. For one night on Wednesday, August 12, Karl Denson\u2019s Tiny Universe is sure to turn Snow King Field into the coolest micro music festival in the country. If you like to have fun and get funky, this show is highly recommended.<\/p>\n
