Jackson Hole, Wyo.-Ben Winship’s bluegrass ensemble, Kane’s River, will reunite for a string of holiday shows. The band also includes John Lowell (guitar), Julie Elkins (banjo), David Thompson (bass), and Jason Thomas (fiddle)—representing the core quartet that founded the band in 1994 (originally named Deep River) in Montana.
Impeccable instrumental prowess in a contemporary bluegrass format that spans folk, blues, Celtic and jazz, Kane’s River has released two albums—self-titled in 2000 and Same River Twice in 2003. Before heading north for a couple of shows, they will perform at 8 p.m. on Dec. 16 at Dornan’s in Moose. Advance tickets are available at Valley Bookstore and Dornan’s. Dinner will be available pre-show, 5:30 to 7 p.m. 733-2415, ext. 200.
•Urban legend has it that Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, and Eric Clapton allegedly insisted that Phil Keaggy was the best guitarist in the world. Why is that important? He returns to town for the second year in a row to perform solo acoustic. Each year from 1998 to 2001, Keaggy has dominated the Instrumental Record category at the Gospel Music Association’s Dove Awards, and for three consecutive years Guitar Player Magazine readers voted him one of the top fingerstyle guitarists. Phil Keaggy will debut new tunes from his Christmas project, Welcome Inn, at 7 p.m. on Sunday at River Crossing in Rafter J. Tickets are $30 for Gold Circle, $20 general admission, and $15 for students. 690-7443.
•Holy three-part harmony! The Outskirts busted out of the gates just last spring, armed with an original repertoire of Venus-inspired folk-rock. Veterans of both the music and theater stages, the core trio includes Michelle Bevier (guitar, mandolin, djembe, vocals), Susan Jones (keys, guitar, vocals) and Molly Moon Thorn (bass, guitar, vocals). The ladies will expand to their Mars-styled five-piece that consists of Teton Valley’s Greg Creamer (guitar) and David Bundy (drums) for their upcoming show, 8 to 10:30 p.m., Saturday, at Cutty’s. Admission is $5 at the door. – AD
