Jackson Hole's big free music fling is back April 4th through April 5th at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort and on Jackson's Town Square. The annual Jackson Hole Rendezvous Spring Festival is a two-day, spring lifestyle and music festival, this year featuring headliner The Avett Brothers at the base of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Charles Wesley Godwin will be the headline performer in Town Square on the first day of the festival.
Below is the schedule of events.
Friday, April 4
Opening the festival on the historic Jackson Hole Town Square will be Charles Wesley Godwin. Gates open at 5 p.m. with DJ Blake (Horstmann) performing first and then country vocalist Carter Faith.
Charles Wesley Godwin, a soulful West Virginian singer-songwriter, found himself in a creative rut until a return to his roots — his family — sparked his latest album, "Family Ties". This deeply personal record, released in 2023, reflects Godwin's journey through life, love, and the lessons passed down through generations. It includes heartfelt songs dedicated to his family, from his father and mother to his wife and children.
North Carolina native Carter Faith, a breakout country vocalist and songwriter, moved to Nashville to pursue her dream, quickly gaining recognition for her soaring vocals and authentic storytelling. With more than 117 million global streams, Faith has released hits like "Wild," "Greener Pastures," and "Already Crazy," and has shared stages with artists such as Little Big Town, Keith Urban, and Willie Nelson.
Blake Horstmann, best known for his appearances on "The Bachelorette," "Bachelor in Paradise," and "All-Star Shore," has also built a successful career as a DJ and music producer.
Saturday, April 5
The Avett Brothers will headline the ultimate show of the two-day music festival at the base of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Disko Cowboy and St. Paul & The Broken Bones will set the stage, as it were. Gates open at 4 p.m.
Three-time Grammy nominees, the Avett Brothers, gained widespread recognition with their 2009 album "I and Love and You." Their subsequent albums "The Carpenter " (2012) and "Magpie and the Dandelion" (2013) both charted in the top 5 on the Billboard 200, while their 2016 album "True Sadness" debuted at No. 1 and earned two Grammy nominations. Their 2024 album, "The Avett Brothers," features songs that emerged organically over time. Inducted into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame and honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Americana Music Association, the band is also set for the Broadway debut of "Swept Away," a musical inspired by their music.
St. Paul & the Broken Bones is an eight-piece band led by vocalist Paul Janeway. Their 2014 debut "Half the City" propelled them to success, earning critical acclaim and bookings at major festivals like Lollapalooza, Coachella and Glastonbury. Over the years, their sound has evolved from classic soul to include elements of funk and disco, as seen on albums like "Young Sick Camellia" (2018). Their upcoming album, "Angels In Science Fiction," continues to push boundaries, blending psychedelia and experimental R&B.
Disko Cowboy (aka Dave Wrangler) spent his formative years in the Texas Hill Country absorbing 90s pop country and hip hop, Waylon and Willie, alternative rock, and rave classics. A lifelong student of remix culture, the Andy Warhol process, and DIY culture – Dave is now an accomplished designer, producer, and genre-blending DJ who helped define dance music culture in the 00s with his signature blend of indie, club, and rap remixes.
The festival is free of charge for general admission, on a first-come, first-served basis; VIP tickets for each night can be purchased here. General Admission doesn't guarantee entry, so come early! Gates open at 5 p.m. on Friday and 4 p.m. on Saturday. Times are subject to change.
