Two local artists, Sam and Jenny Dowd, are having two separate, one person exhibitions in town this month. Sam's fantasy cruisers, pods, and "personal jets" are suspended gracefully from the ceiling of Teton Artlab, while his wife Jenny has installed another of her beautiful, mysterious "libraries" at the Artspace Loft Gallery. Both artists are amazing, curious people and it is a great thing for the culture here to experience their unique work.
The news of the first(annual?)JH Music Festival hit a few weeks ago.
and even Spin is excited about the news. Wilco is one of my favorite bands. They have put out some average songs recently, but Summerteeth and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot changed my life, or were at least the soundtrack to big life changes.
Medeski, Martin, and Wood have alot of fans, and have made some amazing records, as do the Black Crowes, even though their recent output hasn't stirred up much critical fame. Beyond those bands, i don't know, but am excited about the number of bands and diversity of the music. Kindof (Can we get a Public Display of Hip Hop in Teton County please?) But after Clipse pulled in a whopping 12 people at the Moose, maybe the time isn't right for that. There insn't alot of "soul" in Jackson Hole if you catch my drift.
Sunshine is finally here in Jackson Hole, after(honestly) 6 months of clouds, snow, and most recently, rain. I feel for the people of Seattle if that is how they roll, because the dull light can be brutal for an artist like me.
