2014 | music on main 3

to the 2014 summer season of Music on Main! It’s incredible that the Teton Valley Foundation has been con-necting valley residents and guests through music for nine years.

I’ve been in my new position as the Executive Director for the Teton Valley Foundation since April and the verdict is in: I LOVE it! I can’t believe that my job is to help “make the good life in Teton Valley even better,” whether that’s by bringing community members together through stellar music, helping to grow our local economy through The Great Snowfest, or by facilitating health, fun, and learning for 1,000 users per week at the Kotler Ice Arena.

Don’t get me wrong, it has been an adventure learning my new job. (My mantra this spring was “Just don’t forget to order the porta-potties, Erica!”). But a new adventure also means new goals. We are continuing to build long-term sustainability for the organization in order to expand programs in Driggs and throughout the valley. We are also embarking on a capital campaign for the Kotler Ice Arena so we can enter the next stage of the rink’s development. Read more about that undertaking and how you can get involved in the second half of this playbill.

These e!orts are all inextricably linked because the funds we raise at Music on Main not only enable us to secure the most amazing bands, but they also support TVF’s other ventures like our school skating programs where we pro-vide free skate rentals to local kids. Check out the information on the band pages to learn about some of the unique opportunities at each of this season’s concerts, such as “Raffle Night” where you can win killer prizes, or our Tin Cup Challenge Night where Richard & Claire will match up to $1000 of your donations to help further our mission.

The support that the Teton Valley Foundation receives to make Music on Main a reality is truly inspiring. We could not exist without the contributions of every person who steps foot in Victor City Park, even if it’s just a couple of dollars per show. From our largest donors like Richard & Claire, to Jackson commuters who make the trip to Victor on Thursday nights, to our generous business sponsors, to longtime residents who are staunchly dedicated to our mission, to tourists who wander through the gates, to our selfless volunteers….YOU make Music on Main a success.

Thank you sincerely for your commitment to this unprecedented music series, even if it’s as simple as purchasing the excellent local beers we sell from Grand Teton Brewing and abiding the park rule that prohibits outside alcohol from being brought into the venue. Those sales help music happen.

Whether you come to Music on Main to dance to amazing bands, socialize with friends & neighbors, or relish in the sense of community, the bottom line is that we LOVE making great music accessible to everyone. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Now if I can just find the phone number for that porta-potty company!

With Gratitude,

Teton Valley Foundation Board President and one of the founders of the nonprofit, Geor-die Gillett will step down this year. Here he reflects on what has made Music on Main a community success, some of his favorite acts,and why AC/DC should give Victor City Park a shot. Q: You were the driving force behind the Teton Valley Foundation’s formation that has brought the community events such as Music on Main for the last nine years. Has this event and others like it met your initial expectations?

A: There were lots of other people involved in the start-up, and there has been a lot of volunteer sup-port to make Music on Main what it is today. But yes I was involved at the beginning. I don’t think I had any expectations, but I have been blown away since day one at the support that Music on Main and the Kotler Arena have received.

Q: What role does the Foundation play in Teton Valley? A: Teton Valley is an amazing place, and my hope is that the Teton Valley Foundation helps to enhance this community through cultural and recreational activities.

Q: What have you learned personally while serving as president of the Teton Valley Foundation board and what kind of advice would you leave to members?

A: At times, I have led us into too many things, so keep focused on quality as opposed to quantity. We couldn’t do this without the amazing support of volunteers, donors, sponsors, and a committed board.

Q: What has been your favorite performances over the years?

A: Tony Furtado: first show ever. Lots of volunteer support in transforming a vacant lot into a beautiful lawn with an elevated area in the back. We had no idea what to expect, and it was so exciting to see people there having a good time. Los Lobos: on the original site in Driggs. It was nuts. I don’t know how many people were there, but it was the first one where we got a taste of what this was becoming. The thunderstorms rolling through the valley that night added to the experience.New Mastersounds: really fun show at the Driggs City Center site. The crowd was really into it and so was the band. Jackie Greene: he always puts on a great show, and was great at Music on Main. James McMurtry: amazing storyteller and a great pres-ence. Really excited that he is coming back again this summer!

Q: What does the future hold for Music on Main? A: Hopefully continue to grow the community support as Music on Main directly benefits the Kotler Arena and the skating programs there. The participation and use at the rink continues to ex-plode, and we want to be able to expand the facili-ty and programs to meet the demand. I’m not sure we can fit many more people or vendors into the park, so it is important that we make sure that we get as much support as possible from the people who are there.

Q: What is your dream act for Music on Main?A: The reunion of Led Zeppelin or Guns N Roses. I think Snoop Dogg would be a good fit. One last show by AC/DC.

Q: Sweetgrass or Lost Continent from Grand Teton Brewing?

A: Deep Powder Ale available at Grand Targhee and Sweetgrass are my favorites! Really anything from Grand Teton Brewing Company. They have been amazing supporters of the Teton Valley Foundation for a long time.

Q: Teton Valley has a growing reputation as one of the emerging mountain town hot spots for live music. How do you feel Music on Main has contributed to this reputation?

A: I know Teton Valley has a great reputation with artists and agents. They love the scenery and recreational activities, and many artists stay for a few days to enjoy the area. For a community this size, there is a lot of amazing music. Considering our seven nights a summer, plus the music at the Knotty, many other venues here and over in Jack-son, and at Targhee, it is definitely a hot spot for summer music in the mountains.

mandatory airBY NOW, the sounds of Candice and Karee Miller are as familiar to Teton Valley residents as are their faces, but instead of a criticism of the familiar, this is a testament to the sisters’ unabating ability to entertain. So, it should come as no surprise that the talented siblings return to Music on Main for the sixth time total, and the third with Mandatory Air. Whereas that the two’s solo a!air can be easily pinned as a regionalized, contemporary approach to the sounds of rockabil-ly, southern rock, and country, Mandatory Air takes a far more eclectic turn: commingling the e!ervescence of funk, the rhyth-mic contortions of dance-oriented music with the Millers’ flair for Americana. The result is a highly energized, yet melodic and precise performance of amalgamating ethos. The group’s numbers equate to that of a small military squad - that is, eight musicians distributed to a combination of instru-ments as idiosyncratic as their sound - and each tune is execut-ed with the scrupulosity to make a Drill Sergeant proud. Still, the band always remains grounded in the most characterizing aspect of their music: fun. With the sisters at the helm on vocals, the instrumentation is free to engross themselves in the sonics of the group, bobbing and operating to the rhythm as the Millers split their attention between the audience and the music. Over the years the band has crafted their own myriad of elec-trifying originals, but the octet is capable of homage to their in-fluences, as they may giddily shift through a set of cover songs. The assembly’s unabashed commitment to not only their stage show, but diversity and presence as well, further demonstrates the group’s investment in the unparalleled enthusiasm of their music. Mandatory Air jumpstarts Music on Main with their recogniz-able, indigenous sounds, and will undoubtedly leave the crowd eager for more.

John Wayne’s World

Though much is known of the icon-ic western actor from which the band takes its namesake, little is know of the actual band John Wayne’s World. Their sole piece of publicity provides a description of the group, but much remains silhouetted behind the release, which reads: “John Wayne’s World is a new collaboration between well-known Jackson Hole musicians John Harris, Leif Routman, Dustin Nichols-Schmol-ze, Mark Longfield, and Mike Evans.”

As the briefing boasts, more can be discerned of the band by accessing its members as opposed to the acute and inscrutable conflations of genres and stylings. The former three are all rotat-ing members of fellow Jackson outfit, Maddy & The Groove Spots.

But then, there’s the furtive na-ture of the name: John Wayne’s World, taken from an actor renowned for his portrayals of convincingly humanized cowboys may be a tacit acknowledg-ment of more western oriented styles such as country. However, like the man himself, behind the stoic demeanor and composed strides there was always the inkling of a facade: something greater than what could merely be seen.

young dublinersIT’S RARE for a band to make repeat appearances at any organized music event, but The Young Dubliners will do just that when they bring their signature brand of Celtic rock to Victor once more. One of the handful of pioneers of the Irish rock scene in the west, the Young Dubliners have been on the road for the bulk of their 26 year career, and as they’ve demonstrated in the past, the experience reaped from constant touring bears an exhilarating performance. As their name and genres suggest, the archetype for each Young Dubliners track is rooted in the rapid-fire strings and galloping rhythms of traditional Celtic music, meshed with the conventions of the North American modern rock and un-derground movements of the mid-to-late ‘80s. It’s a visceral sound that demands physical involvement, as the five mem-bers blaze through each selection as though they were in a mosh pit instead of on a stage. Though their music magnanimously falls short of violent, it’s still imbued with an unrelenting buoyancy that never di-minishes. The band utilizes their penchant for energy to the best of their advantage, by frequently extending songs and meandering into uncharted territories, earning them com-monplace comparisons to the great jam bands. As lead singer, Keith Roberts, vociferates over brisk and amplified strums from guitarist Bob Boulding, it’s not unprecedented for the band to deviate from their records’ progression into more impromptu sessions. This allows for a concert both un-predictable and unique each night The Young Dubliners take to the stage. Although Teton Valley has seen them before, the constant evolution of The Young Dubliners music means 2014 may as well be their first time.

Brian Maw Band

In many ways, Brain Maw has be-come a lynchpin to the Teton’s bur-geoning music scene: a friendly face at open mic nights, music advocate and promoter, and frontman of his eponymous band. Just as his person-age has become synonymous with music in the valley, so has his band’s dulcet grooves and melodies. Citing influences in 1990s hip-hop, the rhythm section is airtight in its generous beats, allowing acoustic gui-tars and Maw’s lyrical poetry to play-fully interact with the songs they’re confined to, but still pliably develop around the atmosphere. His songs take on many di!erent semblances, ranging from ca!einated staccatos to plaintive plucks of guitar strings. The Brian Maw Band Hits the stage with enough versatility inherent to their sound to please any crowd, and for Music on Main that’s more than enough.

paper bird

Maddy & the Groove Spots

AS THEIR NAME cleverly implies, Paper Bird makes delicate music with soaring melodies lifted by sweet doo-wops and an inscrutable similarity to Abbey Road Beatles (in particular the Ringo Starr psychedelic, country cut “Octopus’s Garden”). The voice of the band comes in the form of the interplaying harmonies between sisters, Genny and Esme Patterson, with weightlessly, chipper overtones providing the foundation. In 2014 Paper Bird sound shockingly urban -with Baroque Pop and Indie tags not helping much - but the essence of their sound is truly rustic in its unblemished instrumentation and overarching debt to mountainous, western folk. Whether it be by way of reverb drenched hammer-ons or patiently picked strings and piano work, Paper Bird songs emanate a campfire intimacy. Though Paper Bird finds a nice home within the boundaries of Indie Folk and its further derivatives, the band’s talented multi-instrumentalists expand the group’s sound to directions otherwise unobtainable. Sarah Anderson toggles between vo-cals, cornet and trumpet, while elsewhere Caleb Summeril can be found rotating between bass guitar, banjo and a six string. Even with a lineup that fluxes between several permutations of instrumentation, Paul DeHaven and Mark Anderson remain on drums and guitar respectively, creating a consistent foun-dation for each Paper Bird tune. Despite only releasing their first album in 2007, Paper Bird has built up an expansive catalogue with a discography that encompasses five albums filled with original material. For a band as prolific as this, commitment is a major cornerstone of character, and the group have e!ectively dedicated their lives to the music they create with a cycle of releases and tours ce-menting an impressive repertoire of experience and passion. As the group stops in Teton Valley for the first time, they’re sure to gather a crowd whose passion rivals even theirs.

Maddy and the Groove Spots inhabit a membrane; one embellished with the clever and ruminative imagery that lead singer Madelaine German paints in her lyrics and sustained by the impulsing and elastic rhythm the band creates. The Groove Spots are heterogeneous funk to their core. An exemplary mix of dance, melo-dy and imagination pervades from the ecstasy of any given Groove Spots cut, and this balance is what makes the band so enjoyable. Instrumentation is exuberant and loose, with lockstep rhythms and sing-song bass, while German’s lyrics illustrate scenes all too relatable for Valley dwellers. Its always possible to be swept up in the ener-getic music, but it’s just as likely to be mesmerized by the sincere intonations of German. Maddy and the Groove Spots are no stranger to the locale of the Tetons, but this will be their first appearance at Mu-sic on Main, and if their recordings are anything to go by, it will be a good one.

jamesmcmurtry

The Alta Boys

THE MOST curious aspect of James McMurtry’s website is not the enigmatic, black backdrop to the out-law font letters introducing visitors to the site, nor is it the sole image of McMurtry with guitar and booze in hand being straddled by two saloon girls, but a quote etched in handwritten crimson, it reads: “The simple fact is that James McMurtry may be the truest, fiercest song-writer of his generation…” The quote is attributed to Ste-phen King. The quote initially seems absurd, as arguably the most renowned author of both the 20th and 21st century heaping praise of such magnitude on any artist can be. But once intimated with McMurtry’s music it becomes apparent why the King of Horror saw so much appeal in McMurtry. Aside form King’s 2009 novel Under the Dome’s premise being wrested from a lyric on McMurt-ry’s blues elevated country track, “Small Town,” there’s a unique resemblance in McMurtry’s disillusioned dreams-capes, and King’s own suspense epics. McMurtry’s lyrics are haunting in the same vein as King’s 1977 masterpiece, The Shining: the threat is not explicitly because of paranormal or extraterrestrial pres-ence, but it’s definitely influential in the delusions and descents into madness through the mundane. When Mc-Murtry sings of daily, blue-collar activities, a sense of un-ease is forever hovering below his accounts, as though it could easily escalate to an ine!able genocide. Instrumentally, McMurtry is very much beholden to country in its various incarnations. Some tracks take queue from the Man in Black, while others skew more contemporary with frolicking, electric guitar and a square-dancing beat. Still, primarily as a singer/song-writer, McMurtry is at his strongest when he and his six string are center stage with no or little extraneous addi-tions to the songs. Music on Main and Teton Valley are certainly familiar with both country, singer/songwriters and any combi-nation of the two, and they will once again experience McMurtry and his harrowing compositions.

The Alta Boys are proud of both their heritage and their home, and as their name indicates they conglomer-ate these influences into something truly defined by their location. In the Tetons there are all varieties of music and genres, but none truly sound like The Alta Boys do. Their most apparent influence makes the impression of blues-bock straight from a garage, but once vocalist, Ken Dolman enters the perception is swiftly switched to Southern rock. His gru! and burly howls seep over the arrangements with commanding au-thority; even as lyrical themes change the results are the same as Dolman asserts himself with bock n’ boll’s trademark audacity. Though underneath Dolman’s deliv-ery is a chemistry lab of experimen-tation, working indomitable drum and bass figures paired with volatile guitar licks that morph through rock, country, Americana, and occasional-ly flirt with folk. When compiled into a single song, the fruits of these dif-fering genres becomes as unique as The Alta Boys’ namesake town itself, and as any native will know, that’s a very good thing.

The Deadlocks

FOR MOST Americans funk has dissolved into some-what of an afterthought, as dance music has expanded and evolved at an exponential rate that it now bears virtually no resemblance to its groove pulsating forbear, but The Motet rightfully pride themselves on their inherent ability to move bodies without the need for swooshing and screeching sound e!ects or subwoofer destroying drops. Instead, The Motet amass the traditional accompaniments to dance into a single funky glob. The gelatinous nature of The Motet’s instrumentals is im-perative to their success, as beats find their syncopation and stick: relentless to move and insistent on consuming every-thing and everyone into its infectious rhythm. And The Motet craft their song with dance at the forefront, with nearly every cut reluctant to recede and staying past the five minute mark. The bass and drums are the centerpiece of each song, but astutely timed horn blasts accompanied by a slick drum fill accentuate the groove and perpetuate the melody. Auxiliary percussion lines these tracks for additional rhythm, some of which stray from the relatively stringent throb of the main set, but only further amplify the danceability of The Motet. Even if out of synch with the song’s primary beat, another peripheral one presents itself to be latched onto: The Motet never want the party or the dancing to stop. Still even above contagious rhythms, emphatic horns and keys and gyrating bass is singer Jans Ingber, an impetuous voice whose wails perfectly compliment the bustling instru-mentation below. While with Ingber removed the tracks bear a peerless amount of energy, his addition escalates it to un-fathomable heights. His falsetto flails through each song, and regardless of the presence of actual words or meaningless yelps the energy remains locked. The Motet aspire to have the world dancing, and Teton Valley is always eager to move; combine the two - the result is a frenzied free-for-all.

The Deadlocks are the Northwest’s premiere Grateful Dead tribute band, and although they play songs writ-ten 30-50 years ago, the enduring nature of the Dead’s music is on full display with The Deadlocks. As a jam band, the Grateful Dead were allotted liberties their more self-serious peers were not. The Dead were in it for the fun of it: a col-lection of friends who loved music, amongst other things, with enough creative insight to develop into one of the most seminal bands in the his-tory of recorded music. They wrote songs, but in concert these tracks were mutated and contorted around their original structure for the band’s own enjoyment. No Dead song was ever played the same, and this men-tality is kept extant with the Dead-locks. But the Deadlocks are not merely a facsimile of the original, they elated-ly bend their artillery of over 100 songs to their own will; mixing and matching their skills and preferenc-es with the groundwork the Grateful Dead laid out half a century ago. The Deadlocks love music and fun, so does Music on Main.

Screen Door PorchTHE TRADITION of country music is steeped in the middle class, and the everyday struggle of the every-day citizen. But, much like another genre aimed toward the 9 to 5 laborers, hip-hop, country has reached a point of cultural sublimation in which its practitioners have far ex-ceeded and outgrossed the very demographic it stemmed from. Whereas hip-hop always carried with it the dreams of foreign cars and luxury designers, country was content with the farm life; the disparity between current coun-try stars and their audience has resulted in a somewhat comical disconnect, as tycoon cowboys still deceptively cling to the minimum wage. Hayes Carll, however is one of the rare artists still e!ectively performing country with concern to its original discourse, and the weight and rele-vance of his songs serves as proof. Carll is largely a one-man act, who labors over his guitar like a farmer does his livestock. He plucks his strings with diligence and thoughtfulness before gushing in country music of yore’s hallmark raspy, baritone. His guitar work and voice always rest comfortably at the front of each track, and those with his backing band finds them often playing in subdued lighting, careful not to obstruct from Carlls’s stories of Jesus, booze and heartbreak. Carlls’s tales play out rather forthright and expect-ed, a testament to how true these stories may or may not be. Rhythm is simple and country strong with a repeti-tive kick-snare pattern serving as backdrop as he strums his guitar cleanly and without much deviation: there’s no trickery or boastfulness in his songs as they merely be-come a vehicle for Carlls’s anecdotes which he pleas for onlookers to listen to. Carll’s candid confessions epitomize grassroots country in 2014, as a Texan he’s familiar with the trade of pick-up trucks and ten gallon hats, but this ain’t Teton Valley’s first rodeo either.

Screen Door Porch aren’t as transparent as their titular figure may suggest. The group identifies themselves as unadulter-ated Americana music, but acknowledges some more surreptitious influences. Most of Screen Door Porch’s guitar figures present themselves as straight-forward rock lines, complete with mildly applied distortion and immediately conta-gious chord progressions; by the time the drums enter, the song’s direction is clear-ly mapped out, but its an enjoyable one nonetheless. Singer, Seadar Rose, emotes with soulful desperation and carries the most transformative aspect of the songs in her fluctuating vocal melodies, when joined by fellow vocalists Andy Peterson and Aaron Davis for harmonies her des-peration fades into a mellow daydream, having been reassured of all her doubts.Meanwhile, bassist Tom Davidson lays down sleek and discreet bass lines which roll from one measure into the next com-pletely seamless. Screen Door Porch are a local band with local sounds, but their fundamen-tal approach toward music is refreshing when their contemporaries are constant-ly attempting to innovate. Their music is true to its roots, and retrospect is always appreciated in the perpetually evolving world of today.

Black Mother Jones THOUGH Jonathan Clay and Zach Chance are the sole members of Jamestown Revival, the music the duo makes is much larger than anything a two piece outfit could muster. Clay comfortably helms the vocals, but Chance’s scorched harmonies are asserted with the command of a lead, which leaves the impression that Jamestown Revival are a consummate collaboration, and not the guise of a tyranni-cal auteur. But complimentary to Clay’s and Chance’s gruffly, sweet vocals is a lush, sepia tinged arrangement. Jamestown Revival songs are imbued with the charm of a silent western, but are modernized with southern rock informed Dylan-esque instrumentation. Stark piano chords accentuate melodic guitar strums as a rural, throbbing kick drum provides a rhythmic foundation. Strings are plucked with a single-minded determination that results in an authori-tative, but charming presence of popping guitar, which holds the melody as strongly as Clay’s voice. The band chiefly takes inspiration from the rustic and pastoral landscapes of their youth in Texas, which distinctly lingers in each of their songs. Clay’s lyrics deal with the in-consequential impulses of young love, sky scraping dreams, and fantasies of wishes and a!ection, which are sharply foiled against their own futility and the pitiless nature of reality. Even with the occasional fatalistic lyrical turn, the songs themselves often retain a saccharine, cheery demeanor, propelled by the jingles and jangles of a tambourine and decisive guitar work; making Jamestown Revival a universal and egalitarian act. Aesthetically, Clay and Chance present themselves in the same fashion as bands like Mumford & Sons and The Lum-ineers, which is fitting considering that their band could easily be framed as a companion or alternative to the more cloying sounds of their peers. Whereas those two acts revel in the obscure and lofty/unobtainable, Jamestown Revival is defini-tively grounded in the clockwork of the world: a proclivity that Teton Valley holds as well.

Black Mother Jones plays fast and en-ergetic music completely indebted to the sounds of classic ‘70s rock n’ roll, but clandestine amongst the swift chord changes and wild leads are traces of funk, psychedelia and alternative. Tenacious leads are redolent of the more sensitive Black Sabbath ma-terial, while melodic rhythm guitar pro-gression sound o! like the best Boston cuts. Bass and drums avert one from the orthodox fields of rock into more mod-ern terrain, with dynamic bass grooves that flawlessly capture Flea and the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ signature funk rock e!orts. Above all this are howling vo-cals, carrying the defiance and soul of a southern rock Hendrix. Still, Black Mother Jones are more than an amalgamation of some of the most critical artists in the most critical junctures of music history, in-corporating regional influences as well, making them decidedly local. Like most Teton Valley/Jackson acts, fun and pas-sion usurp any concerns over success and fame, as the band jams out tunes gleefully and unrestrained. The band’s obvious influences may be those inte-gral to any upstart garage project, but what truly distinguishes Black Mother Jones is their enjoyment of music and the good times that accompany it.

Valley citizens have been making ice here ever since it got cold enough to freeze water. The Kotler Arena has become one the of area’s most valu-able, manmade, recreational amenities, creating a place for people to skate has been a winter pastime for generations.

Ari Kotler, the man who helped make the Victor arena a reality through the formation of Teton Basin Ice & Recreation, remembers a simpler time before boards or warming huts. It was a time when all that was needed was a place to shade the ice from the sun to help it last longer.

Though e!orts to create ice rinks color the historic past of Teton Valley, Troy and Eric Olson were some of the first to try and organize. The two brothers followed Scott Golden’s lead in Victor by building a rink in Pioneer Park. Forming a natural alliance with fellow skaters, Kotler saw the need to establish a nonprofit organization.

Teton Basin Ice & Recreation was born out of wanting to establish con-sistency, by providing a place for people to skate. In 2006, after many years of ice in Victor, e!orts shifted to Driggs and the piece of land on which the Colter Building now stands. With TBIR using Geordie Gillett’s property for skating, another alliance began to form between the Teton Valley Founda-tion and TBIR.

The rink on Gillett’s property was short lived, when construction begun on the Colter Building in 2007. The ice moved back to Pioneer Park, and Kotler opened up a dialogue with the City of Victor. An option was then cre-ated to more fully establish a permanent ice rink in Teton Valley’s south end.

The ice made one last move in 2009, after the City of Victor o!ered a 99-year lease on the land near Pioneer Park where the Olson brothers had originally built a rink years before. The Kotler Arena had finished its first phase to include the shell of a metal structure that protected the ice and housed a warming hut. This initial chapter represented a huge community e!ort in creating a facility enjoined by a significant number of people. An-other step in the right direction occurred when TBIR was absorbed by the Teton Valley Foundation.

With more than 1,000 users a week during the ice season, and packed with programs for every age and skill set, the exciting challenge Teton Val-ley Foundation now faces is the next step. With a full-time rink manager who helps facilitate two and a half months of scheduling, the programming at the ice rink has grown to include youth and adult hockey leagues, broom ball, figure skating, open skating and other opportunities for the public to rent skates and hold private functions on the ice.

There is no limit to the potential of the rink, and the next several phases of the plan reveal an exciting end goal. From amenities as simple as bleach-ers, to the complex construction of an underground cooling system, the life of the ice and the season for the rink will be extended.

The rink of dreamsIf you build it they will skate


Did you know that for every dollar donated and earned through the Music on Main summer con-cert series, a piece of that dollar is funneled directly into the Kotler Ice Arena? It’s the cyclical nature of the Foundation that creates harmony year round for the Teton Valley community.

Considering what is on the horizon for the Kotler Arena, an enclosed building with a full sheet of ice that can be maintained for a longer period of time over the winter months, it stands as a vision that many believe could create a huge economic impact on Teton Valley.

Teton Valley Foundation Director Erica Linnell said that short-term plans for the arena also in-clude a locker room, so that kids and adults have a place to change out of their skivvies. But the next broader goal is to lay a concrete slab with pipes embedded in the ice, so that it can be kept cold and thus extend the length of the season. Also, the evolution of the arena will continue as the Foun-dation is looking to create space in the building for summer sports like basketball and in-line skating.

“Once we have a cooling system we can start holding tournaments with out-of-town teams due to the increased reliability of the ice,” said Linnell. “Tournaments create a significant influx of exter-nal dollars into the valley and something area hotels are really excited for.”

The Teton Springs Foundation recently lent a helping hand to the Foundation, providing $20,000 to support the construction of the next phase of the locker room expansion. And the City of Victor is already on board, having pledged a match of $2,500 during the July 10 Music on Main concert. So remember, every dollar counts toward the continued e!orts of increasing summer and winter programming.

As the proprietor of Tony’s Pizza & Pasta in Driggs, Glen Gresly knows what it takes to do business in Teton Valley. He does his own books and pays his own taxes, but he’s also a firm believer in reciprocated support. He patronizes your business, and you support his. A rising tide raises all ships, so they say.

“You’ve got to figure how far your dollar is going to go before it eventually comes back to you,” he said.

And Gresly continues to give back. After supporting projects of the Teton Valley Foundation for years, Tony’s Pizza & Pasta returns for a third year as one of many local

sponsors of the Music on Main free concert series. “Of any nonprofit in the valley, more people benefit

through the Teton Valley Foundation than any other,” Gresly said. “I saw that from the beginning and had to get behind

what they were doing. And in order to keep doing what they were doing, they needed support.”

A Wyoming native from a restaurant family, Gresly knows the value of hard work and a generous nature. He learned these

good ethics from his mother and father, Jerre and Bruce, when they moved from Laramie to Lander and bought the original Tony’s

from a family friend in 1971. Gresly could hear the dishwasher running in a bustling kitchen as he did his homework in the apartment next door.

Everyone was always putting in an honest day’s work. After establishing Tony’s Pizza & Pasta in 1993, Gresly moved to Colo-

rado almost a decade later in January of 2002. He sharpened his skills as a restaurateur, but the big city was far from the solitude he knew back in Teton Valley. He and his wife, Carla, made the decision to move west and headed back to the valley in 2006.

With Ari Kotler working as one of his delivery drivers, Gresly saw his first opportunity to give back to the community on a larger scale. Kotler and oth-ers had established Teton Basin Ice and Recreation, and Gresly sponsored the spaghetti dinners that were the grassroots-funding source for the hock-ey programs that now thrive at the Kotler Arena in Victor today. Supporting a cause felt good to Gresly. His generosity had been extended to cheerlead-ers who needed uniforms or ball clubs that needed better equipment.

From the Family Safety Network to the Teton Valley Foundation, Glen Gresly has used his restau-rant as a means to support many area nonprofits. It’s how he does business at Tony’s Pizza & Pasta and it’s paying o!.

A slice ofcommunity support

A significant sponsor of Music on Main for years, Gresly’s support went beyond financial. He wanted to do whatever it took to have the summer concerts go o! without a hitch. When volunteers were sparse or running late, Gresly would fill a short-handed gap with his employees. After the concerts, they’d help clean up.

But it’s not all about business for Gresly. He first arrived in Teton Valley as a ski bum, and he relishes every beauti-ful day here, summer or winter. With the slogan “Our Life Is Your Vacation,” To-ny’s Pizza & Pasta might’ve summed up the philosophy of many valley residents, but it’s also a truth he holds dear.

“We wake up every morning to this beautiful view,” Gresly said. “I take time to appreciate how awesome this is.”

When Gideon and Alice Murphy decided to homestead on unsettled land at the foot of the Tetons in 1888, they had no idea that they and their four children would later be remembered as the first settlers of Victor, Ida-ho, a town with a rich history of mountainous adventures, robust agricul-ture, and now, a mecca for music.

Arriving mostly from Mormon communities in Utah, these first set-tlers-13 more families arrived after the Murphy family weathered their first winter, according to Teton Valley Museum documents-had few homey com-forts to help them cope with the harsh winter climate. The documents said that the cabin floors were bare ground unless settlers were lucky enough to procure straw or animal furs. The roofs were made of packed dirt and often leaked muddy water. Coal-oil and kerosene lamps could only dimly light the long winter nights.

And while the city has seen its fair share of changes, strength and for-titude are two things that Victor’s first settlers couldn’t scrimp on nor do modern day pioneers who continue to honor the past while making room for the future.

And this summer, more than any other summer in recent memory, the City of Victor will tangibly start to take a new shape. The city will realize its first official stop light in the center of town on Main Street as part of a mil-lion dollar redesign through the Idaho Department of Transportation. New sidewalks and parking configurations will also grace the downtown in a ex-citing transformation that promises a sophisticated look for Main Street that at one time could handle a team of four oxen wide. The construction will be-gin this August with an estimated completion date of October of this year.

The town named after George Victor Sherwood, nicknamed “the end of the line,” because it was literally the end of the line for the Oregon Short Line, a faction of the Union Pacific Railroad; Victor has maintained its name-sake, “A Town to Come Home To” over the many decades. The City of Victor purchased the old Depot Station on the west side of town in 2011 and this summer will begin the first phase of its reconstruction with a Federal High-

The Depot Project was a vision of city leadership in 2011 when the old depot on the west side of town was purchased by the city. The old depot remains on the Federal Historic Registry for historic buildings.

The outdoor pavilion will be con-structed this year with the help of a Federal Highways grant. The pavilion will provide a rest stop for travelers, visitors and residents alike with public restrooms, picnic areas and tables.

way Administration Scenic Byway grant. A landing pad for many pioneers, vis-itors and residents alike will once again become a stopping point for those travel-ing along this scenic byway.

This first phase will include a parking area, a 1,500 square foot open-air pavilion

designed with period railroad building architecture and a pavilion that will provide restrooms, open-air picnic tables and an outside cooking and grilling area of masonry construction. There will be early railroad theme artifacts decorating the pavilion. The center’s landscape will be high-lighted with architectural paths and hard surfaces and will feature inter-pretive plaques depicting photos and text of the early history.

The city has already begun the renovation of the depot exterior with paint matching the original historic colors, and a prototypical loading dock to be constructed next year which will replace the existing porch. The long-term uses for the building include an interior renovation with historic motif providing for interactive community functions and meet-ing spaces as well as a visitor rest and interpretive center.

George Victor Sherwood is assumed to have left the valley sometime in 1898, his name stayed as did his desire to see the community of Victor grow for the betterment of the people. The City of Victor was officially incorporated on Oct. 17, 1912, the railroad arrived in town in 1913 and a stop light will be constructed in 2014.

Though Sherwood died in 1924, his legacy remains, both in the town’s name and in the memories of his descendants and now in those who continue to make Victor a Town to Come Home To.

THEY ARE THE SILENT ARMY BEHIND THE MUSIC ON MAIN CURTAIN, working in harmony to create a commu-nity experience you have grown to love every summer. Volunteers. The unsung heroes of Victor City Park each Thursday. Quietly, hap-pily working to make your experience a memorable one.

“We couldn’t do what we do without our team of volunteers every summer,” said Erica Linnell, Executive Director for the Teton Valley Foundation. “It’s such a fun way to support Music on Main too.”

With perks and prizes for those that roll up their sleeves, sometimes the most rewarding of all isn’t found in raffle prize give aways.

“For me, I think those types of events will not happen without a volunteer base,” said long time Music on Main volunteer Megan Bybee. “I think, here’s an organization working for our community and we should help out. When I started to volunteer I was new to the valley and volunteering helped me meet people that I wouldn’t have met in my work place.”

Bybee, the principal of Rendezvous Upper Elementary School in Driggs said her service at Music on Main led to serving as a board member for the Teton Valley Trails and Pathways organization.

Linnell said there are a variety of opportunities available to anyone and everyone wanting to pitch in this summer. From set-up crews that start earlier in the day, to clean up crews that finish up after the crowd has left, there is no job too small that doesn’t have a big impact on the Thursday night concert series.

“For me, I like getting out and it feels good giving back,” said Bybee who started volunteering for Music on Main in 2011. “I think the Teton Valley Foundation does a lot for our valley and there are so many ways to support them. There were many types of jobs too, from greeter, to managing the beer tokens and set up. For me, set-up is one way to help out and I still enjoy the event that evening.”

“We couldn’t do what we do without our team of volunteers every summer”
