A Tale of Two Stages: Town Square and Teton Village
The Rendezvous Music Festival is a two-part affair, showcasing incredible talent across two iconic locations in Jackson Hole. On Friday, April 4, the historic Jackson Town Square kicks off the weekend with an evening of free live music under the famous antler arches. Gates open at 5 p.m., giving you plenty of time to soak in the lively downtown atmosphere before the show begins. Then, on Saturday, April 5, the party moves to Teton Village at the base of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, where gates open at 4 p.m. for a grand finale surrounded by snow-capped peaks. It’s the perfect blend of small-town charm and alpine adventure!
The Lineup: A Musical Feast for All Tastes
This year’s lineup is a stellar mix of acclaimed artists spanning genres like folk, country, soul, and more. Here’s who you can expect to see:
- Friday, April 4 – Jackson Town Square:
The festival opens with the soulful sounds of Charles Wesley Godwin, a West Virginian country-folk artist whose cinematic storytelling and rugged vocals have earned praise from NPR and beyond. Joining him are rising star Carter Faith, whose soaring voice and heartfelt songs are turning heads in the country scene, and Blake Horstmann, a DJ set to get the crowd moving with his electrifying beats. - Saturday, April 5 – Teton Village:
The festival closes with a bang, headlined by The Avett Brothers, the Grammy-nominated folk-rock sensations known for hits like “I and Love and You” and their dynamic live performances. Sharing the stage are St. Paul & The Broken Bones, an Alabama-based Southern soul outfit that brings funk, grit, and high energy to every show, and Disko Cowboy (Dave Wrangler), a genre-blending DJ whose eclectic mixes promise to keep the party going strong.
