Please come out and support Mountain Town Music on Saturday May 30th! Our good friends at OP Rockwell will be hosting our annual Jambalaya event starting at 6:00pm.
This year, we will be raising funds to purchase a new state of the art monitor system for our Canyons, Newpark and Deer Valley stages, to support our educational outreach programming including our new “Mountain Town Music House Band”, which consists of five students from Summit County, launch a new website – parkcitylivemusic.com which will promote ALL the live music in Summit County and to provide One Community Under A Groove throughout Summit County! Once again, we have over 200 musical performances programmed!
In 2015, our supporters will be more important than ever because we won’t be actively soliciting donations from our stages. We want to provide you with an evening of music rather than a concert interrupted by a fundraising pitch….it’s you, the Vibe Tribe, who will provide this community with live music 6 nights a week on 10 stages throughout Summit County.
It is our goal to raise $40,000 at the Jambalay so please come out, bring some friends, and help us provide Summit County with the sounds of music all year round.

Live Music!!!
Big Sam’s Funky Nation have established their presence on the forefront of the New Orleans music scene. Trombone powerhouse and band leader “Big Sam” Williams, formerly of the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, has been celebrated as “the top man on the slide trombone in the birthplace of jazz” by the San Francisco Chronicle and the band has been touted for consistently “bringing a straight raw party” by Jambase. 2010 has been a busy year for The Nation, with two European tours (France and Greece), a recurring role in the new HBO original series “Treme”, and a busy US touring schedule including festivals such as the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, Bonnaroo Arts & Music Festival, South by Southwest, Doheney Blues Festival and Gathering of the Vibes. For 2011, BSFN does not intend to slow down. The momentum BSFN has recently accumulated will only continue to grow off of the successful release of their fourth and most prolific album to date, King Of The Party. Be on the lookout for BSFN’s masterful blend of a rock, with an improv-style associated with jazz and a horn-heavy front section that’s the hallmark of funk. The energy level is always high voltage when BSFN takes the stage.

An entry from a tattered journal found on the shores of Lake Tahoe…
“According to local lore, tucked deep in the snow blanketed Sierra Nevada mountains, rests a cabin secluded from the masses. After days of searching the shores of Lake Tahoe, I find a path of footsteps in the snow that winds through the moss laden trees of the forest. After hours trudging through knee-deep snow, I find myself gazing at cabin where smoke is billowing from the chimney. To learn of what is inside, I crawl up to the window. As I wipe away the snow for a closer look, I find the crew consumed by their cause of crafting melodies and songs that warms the entire cabin. Here lies the heart and soul of Dead Winter Carpenters…”
In a time when music has been transformed and genre lines are left behind like the seasons, Dead Winter Carpenters are producing an ever-evolving style of music. The time spent, both in the studio in the woods and criss-crossing the American countryside, has provided Dead Winter Carpenters with a ground-breaking sound that blends Americana roots-rock with a tinge of straightforward ‘tell-it-like-it-is’ Alt. Country that is as hard-hitting as it is whimsical. While the roadsigns and towns pass by the windows on down the highway of tour, DWC are writing original material based on their life experiences. “Dirt Nap”, the band’s latest EP, is a musical journey which speaks magnitudes to these experiences.
The uplifting “Bootleg Jack” melds together banjo, handclaps, harmonica and fiddle into a musical amassment of down-home experiences of whiskey riddled fun. The stormy, somber, and longing tone of “West Shore Town” speaks to the darker side of existence. Conversely, the upbeat rambling sounds of the the telecaster and the lyrics of “Triumph” speak of man living with hard times who sees the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel. One can’t help but feel the change of the alchemy brewing within Dead Winter Carpenters.
Foot-stomping original tunes blended with the band’s onstage presence highlighted by the vocal melodies and five part harmonies, ferocious fluidity of the fiddle, deep pounding thump and thud of the upright bass, country ramblings of the telecaster and acoustic guitars, and the driving drums all meld together to create an experience that is sure leave you wanting more…
The five piece outfit is:
Jenni Charles -fiddler/vocalist
Dave Lockhart -upright bassist/vocalist
Jesse Dunn -rhythm guitarist/vocalist
Bryan Daines -lead guitarist/vocalist
Brian Huston -drummer/vocalist
