Soundcheck Summer Music Series July 4 concert
by Pinedale Fine Arts Council
June 28, 2023
Pinedale’s Soundcheck Summer Music Series continues Tuesday, July 4th with New England soul-rocker Ali McGuirk (and her full band) headlining. Special guests Batdorf & the Brother Wolf, a Jackson-based trio will play the middle slot and Jackson singer/songwriter Missy Jo will open things up with a solo set. Music will start at 4:00PM.
All Soundcheck shows are presented by the Pinedale Fine Arts Council (PFAC) and take place at American Legion Park in downtown Pinedale. Shows are free to the public and are kid/pet friendly and feature food/drink vendors and activities for kids.
The July 4th Soundcheck will also coincide with the Town of Pinedale’s annual 4th of July Picnic (2pm-4pm, Free). So come early for free hot dogs and hamburgers (BYO sides and beverages) and then stay late for a night of music and then Pinedale’s famous fireworks show at sundown.
Ali McGuirk delivers a sublime set of songs that pair her trademark soul sounds with roots turns and raw rock 'n roll detours. Growing up just outside Boston, McGuirk doesn’t remember a time when she didn’t want to be a singer. By college, after a couple decades of absorbing ’90s r&b,’70s singer-songwriters and classic soul of every era, McGuirk found her own aesthetic: earthy, pure, propelled by a voice capable of whispering dark truths or belting out big hooks on her originals.
Brother Wolf is Michael Batdorf's answer to his deep love for Jimi Hendrix and is a Blues-Rock Power-Quartet that plays through the inner Mountain West.
Born and raised in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Melissa Elliott is a singer, songwriter, teacher and music director performing under the alias Missy Jo whose musical explorations seek to thin the barriers between R&B, Western, and Jazz. Her songs explore cunning observations on the human experience - life, love, romance in the midst of apocalypse, her affinity for thrift shopping. Between her lyrical vulnerability, genre blending, and soulful voice, Missy Jo's music welcomes listeners into her world.
All Soundcheck shows are free and feature food/drink vendors and a fun, family-friendly atmosphere.
