JEFF CROSBY BAND
https://www.jeffcrosbymusic.com/​
Born and raised in Idaho, Jeff Crosby has been sharing his unique perspective of Americana throughout the US and Europe over the past decade. After moving to Los Angeles CA in 2012, Crosby landed 2 songs ("This Old Town" and "Oh Love, Oh Lord") on the hit FX series Sons of Anarchy which has led to the band continually performing over 200 shows a year throughout the US and Europe.
Additionally, Crosby spent 2015-16 on the road playing lead guitar for Jerry Joseph, as well as for Austin Texas road warriors Reckless Kelly in 2019. Crosby has co-written songs featured on Austin TX band Micky & The Motorcars recent release Long Time Comin’ and Reckless Kelly’s American Girls/American Jackpot.
“I think we have unearthed another country diamond here. Crosby will surely appeal to fans of all the great singer-songwriters from Dylan to Van Zandt to Earle.” — The Rocking Magpie (UK)
“Crosby is a hugely talented, thought-provoking Americana singer-songwriter. 9/10!” - Americana-UK.com
LANEY LOU AND THE BIRDDOGS
https://www.laneylouandthebirddogs.com/
Laney Lou and the Bird Dogs are an energetic Americana band from Bozeman, Montana, that infuses four-part harmonies, engaging songwriting, and rock-n-roll drive into a modern approach to traditional folk music. Coming from varied musical backgrounds, the five-person ensemble creates a sound unique to them, but one that finds common ground by adding the energy of Montana’s big sky country into their music. The Bird Dogs weave stories through their songs that are reflective, joyous, longing, or meant to share a journey with the listener. Through it all, the band is able to convey heartfelt honesty, getting the audience to immerse themselves in the moment by dancing, singing and laughing along.
AARON DAVIS & THE MYSTERY MACHINE
​https://www.aarondavismusic.com/
From "searing slide guitar" (Country Weekly) echoing gritty Southern blues, to a patchwork of story folk and acoustic roots, pensive alt-country, and improvisational 70s-influenced rock, Aaron Davis has been described as a “truly phenomenal songwriter” (Americana UK) with “the lyrical prowess of Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy and edginess of a weathered bluesman” (Jackson Hole Buckrail) and “a combination that goes down like top-shelf bourbon” (Austin Chronicle). Chiefly known as co-founder of national touring act alt-folk/alt-country band Screen Door Porch, Aaron has re-focused creative energy toward the ultra-eclectic project Aaron Davis & the Mystery Machine—equally versed in hypnotic groove, three-part vocal harmony, exploratory improvisations, and intricate story songs. 
July 24  ~  4:30 - 6:30pm at the Driggs Plaza, Driggs

TYLOR & THE TRAIN ROBBERS
https://www.tylorandthetrainrobbers.com/​
Boise, ID based band Tylor & the Train Robbers, comprised of Tylor Ketchum, his brothers Jason and Tommy Bushman and his father-in-law Johnny “Shoes” Pisano deliver a perfect, lyric-driven blend of Roots Country and modern Americana music. Paired with their unrelenting dedication to the road, they have earned the reputation of hardworking professionals whose live shows highlight the connectedness that they’ve acquired not only from years of playing together, but also from the family bond that they all share.
"With a voice that conveys experience greater than the sum of his years, Ketchum is a quintessential singing cowboy. Part Joe Ely, and part Arlo Guthrie, his voice is honest and familiar and as comforting as a well-worn leather coat. Paired with his band’s impeccable ear for Americana rhythms, TTR are among the best of their genre…" BRIAN ROCK
PERT NEAR SANDSTONE
https://pertnearsandstone.com/
Crossing Old-time instrumentation with contemporary sensibilities, the Pert Near Sandstone first emerged from Minneapolis in 2007 with their acclaimed debut, ‘Up And Down The River.’ Over the course of five more studio albums and several live releases, they established themselves as standard-bearers for the versatility and vitality of the Midwestern roots music scene, performing onstage with the likes of Steve Martin and the Flaming Lips and earning dates along the way with everyone from Trampled By Turtles and Del McCoury to Yonder Mountain String Band and Sam Bush. NPR's Mountain Stage hailed the band for putting a "Midwestern stamp on Appalachian [sounds]," while A Prairie Home Companion described them as “a force on the Minnesota roots music scene and beyond,” and The Current praised their live performances as "a frenzied string shredding spree that takes audiences under its spell."
