Pull out your shamrocks and green bowler hats Friday and get ready to spread the luck of the Irish.
With live music in all corners of both Teton counties, there’s no excuse to miss out on the St. Patrick’s Day revelry.
Corned beef, soda bread, jigs and beer come together for the annual St. Patrick’s Day ceilidh — a traditional Scottish and Irish social event featuring music, singing, dancing and storytelling — at Snake River Brewing, featuring the Phat Basturds Irish Band. Festivities will last all day.
On the west slope of the Tetons the music starts at 3 p.m. at Grand Targhee with singer-songwriter Niccole Blaze and bassist/vocalist Mo Kelly taking the Trap Bar stage as Blaze and Kelly. Sharing their folk-rock style, Blaze and Kelly bring a light-hearted energy to every show. The duo will also play an aprés ski set Saturday.
In Jackson, partygoers will have a bunch of options. Singer-songwriter-multi-instrumentalist Aaron Davis and fiddle player Matt Herron will take to the microphones at the Virginian Saloon for a St. Patty’s Day Ramble starting at 8 p.m.
“We don’t typically get to play with each other in a public space,” Davis said, “and we’ve been playing together since 2005.
“When we had just met, we were asked to open for Willie Nelson at Snow King. Matt has played on a lot of my studio albums over the years, including Screen Door Porch material. It’s hard sometimes to find people to play with where you can just pick up where you left off, no matter how long it’s been since you played together, and with Matt, things just gel in a special way.”
The Bush Pilots will shake the Wort’s Silver Dollar Bar and Grill with their blend of funk, country and covers at a free show starting at 7:30 p.m.
And the Great Mountain Groove settles in at the Mangy Moose Saloon with a triple bill of no-holds-barred bluegrass bands Sicard Hollow, The Sweet Lillies, and Pixie and the Partygrass Boys.
This will be Sicard Hollow’s first romp in the valley, and the Nashville-based band can’t wait to bring its New Grass Revival- and Grateful Dead-influenced tunes to the stage. Interestingly, no one in the band came from a bluegrass background.
“I grew up loving punk, rock and, like, ’80s, ’90s,” mandolinist Will Herrin said, “just all sorts of rock ’n’ roll pop and punk. We play hard. People tell us that we sound like punk grass.”
Herrin said the triple co-headlining tour has paved the way for a lot of fun as well as a lot of collaboration as the tour tackles 21 dates of bluegrass fused with everything from hip-hop to ABBA and as musicians from each of the three bands join one another on stage.
Couple that with the vivacity of Pixie and the Partygrass Boys and the lawlessness of The Sweet Lillies, and the Great Mountain Groove might be a jamgrass pot of gold Friday.
The latest set of lucky charmed music Friday night is the final installment of Cut La Whut‘s 2023 Winter DJ Series at the Knotty Pine Supper Club in Victor, Idaho. St. Patrick’s Day will feature Chillbo Swagginz for a close-out banger (and maybe mash) that gets rolling at 9:30 p.m.
And in case you wake up Saturday in dire need of the hair of the dog, the Phat Basturds will bring their shenanigans to the Tetonia Club for another night, and the 13th annual Intergalactic Ball will be onboarding cosmic travelers at Hand Fire Pizza, with DJs Oakk, PRSN and Oh Nassi spinning an out-of-this-world celestial-tropical dance party, complete with interstellar flamingos, Martian pineapples and beachside aliens.
Finally, Tasha and The Goodfellows return to The Wort Hotel on Saturday with some of the Tetons’ best musicians — Derrik Hufsmith, Jason Baggett, Ted Wells and Grove Miller join Tasha Ghozali and Rob Goodfellow Sidle — for a rowdy swing show that’s sure to fill the Silver Dollar’s dance floor.
Happy St. Patty’s Day, and be sure to celebrate responsibly.
