King Concerts to rock mountaintop
Duane Betts & His Friends to headline inaugural concert series event
JACKSON HOLE, Wyo. — An all-new concert series was announced this morning featuring live music at the top of Snow King Mountain.
King Concerts will kick off in style this July 16 with an inaugural concert featuring “Duane Betts & His Friends” with a star-studded lineup of national touring musicians to warm the new summit series atop Snow King Mountain in downtown Jackson.
The creation of the concert series is the collaborative effort of Snow King Mountain, Snow King Resort, and the Snow King Resort Master Association.
The concert series rises from the ashes, in a way, from the mothballed JacksonHoleLive!, which went dark during COVID. The same talent buyer, Shannon McCormick, is helping put together the lineup for King Concerts, along with his wife Michelle Bevier McCormick, who handles most of the marketing branding.
“This group is great to work with. Some smart people who have a vision,” McCormick said. “We originally were going to put this at the base of Snow King like JacksonHoleLive! but then Ryan [Stanley] said, ‘Let’s do it up top.’ I questioned the logistics at first but they answered every question. This is going to be special.”
It is planned for the concert series to grown and also move indoors upon completion of the Summit House and Planetarium and Observatory.
