Join us for a special Downtown Sounds celebrating the opening of the 15th Annual Driggs Plein Air Festival! Enjoy an evening of art and music featuring hundreds of plein air paintings to view and purchase, all created outdoors across the forests, mountains, farmlands, sagelands and waterways of Teton Valley by 75 renowned artists from across the country. 

The nationally acclaimed Aaron Ashton Gypsy Jazz Band will be providing the perfect sound for the evening. They are comprised of some of the most incredible, multiple state champion, award-winning musicians on the planet. When it comes to proficiency in musicianship, this Gypsy jazz, folk, Celtic, Americana, Romanian, Eastern European, swing, and bluegrass band has it in spades.

Aaron Ashton’s Utah Gypsy jazz band is one of those extremely rare ensembles that simply put, has what it takes. Whether they’re exciting audiences with their take on Americana, Gypsy jazz, Romanian traditional folk dance music, or one of many other musical genres, the music they perform is always happy, positive, upbeat, and delivered with great showmanship that gets audiences excited.

Gather your family and friends, pack a lawn chair or blanket, and head to Driggs Plaza to unwind under the Teton sky with free live music and community. This year’s Downtown Sounds lineup has something for everyone.

Enjoy beer on tap from Citizen 33 Brewery, wine by the glass from Two Mountain Winery, and delicious bites from local food trucks. From soul and funk to rock, folk, classical, swing, and more, spend your summer evenings soaking up great music and good company in downtown Driggs.
