It is with heavy hearts that we announce that JacksonHoleLive has been cancelled for the 2020 summer season.
FOR RELEASE: Friday, May 22, 2020
JacksonHoleLive — Season 9 cancelled due to COVID-19 pandemic
The 2020 JacksonHoleLive concert series, which was scheduled to kick off Father’s Day, June 21, 2020, has been cancelled. JacksonHoleLive is designed to bring family and friends together to celebrate music and deepen our connection as a community. “We could all use this right about now to reconnect with those outside of our bubbles,” said co-founder Shannon McCormick, “but for obvious reasons, an event of this scale is simply not viable given the ongoing health concerns for our community related to the pandemic. While limited business activity is resuming, hosting thousands of music fans in a live concert setting is more than we can safely undertake at this time. The health and safety of our community and our staff, volunteers, and visiting performers comes first, as much as it hurts to say.”
JacksonHoleLive’s annual collaboration with Teton Raptor Center will take new shape this year. “RaptorFest" will be moving to the radio waves along with a virtual format via TetonRaptorCenter.com. JacksonHoleLive will curate a playlist featuring artists who have graced the stage over the past eight seasons of concerts.
“We'll continue to evaluate options for the potential to do something later this summer that brings people together in support of our local music community, but doing so safely is paramount,” said co-founder Jeff Potter. “Our local musicians have been gutted by the current situation and, like many others, need our support. Please check out local live streams and consider tipping your favorite locals acts virtually while we await the time we can all come back together at the base of Snow King.”
