Bea Jones blends classic country storytelling with outlaw soul and Western edge. Born in Tennessee and shaped by the American West, she writes honest, character-driven songs delivered with a voice that balances strength and softness.

Joe Hunt is an independent musician and songwriter from St. Paul, Minnesota. As he takes the stage, his humble Midwestern charm surrenders to the musical force within him. Out pours a rush of guitar virtuosity, lyrical profundities, and dramatic vocal dynamics as he rolls through a compelling mix of well-crafted originals and thoughtful, deep-track covers. Genres span from Folk, to the Blues, to Alternative Rock.  

Michael Batdorf is a founding member and songwriter for One Ton Pig out of Jackson Hole, Wyoming.  He has been writing songs since he first picked up the guitar at age 12. Having grown up in western Pennsylvania, he was exposed to a lot of straight ahead Rock'N'Roll. Michael graduated from Middle Tennessee State University with a degree in Music Recording and Business.  He chose the Muse of the Mountain West over being in Nashville and continues to build bands here in the Tetons, including Batdorf & The Brother Wolf and The Easy Chair.

The Dangling Chains are a high-energy live music act based in Pinedale, Wyoming blending blues, rock, and old country with a dash of everything in between. Featuring guitar, piano, bass, drums, harmonica, the Chains play a mix of covers and original tunes inspired by '60s and '70s rock and country legends such as The Grateful Dead, Rolling Stones, and Waylon Jennings. Their mission is to create an unforgettable experience that gets people dancing and connects with the crowd.
