Trio of bands cap off Soundcheck Series

Posted

PINEDALE – The Pinedale Fine Arts Council (PFAC) will conclude the 10th annual Soundcheck Summer Music Series this Saturday, Aug. 19, with a trio of Austin, Texas-based bands at American Legion Park with music slated to start at 4 p.m.

The final Soundcheck will be held in conjunction with Pinedale’s Eclipse Festival, which hosts a weekend of activities leading up to the much anticipated total solar eclipse on Aug. 21.

Headliners The Deer encompasses the innovation of the modern indie-folk revival and the cross-pollination of Austin’s diverse music scene, with a sound described as transcendental Texas folk and stargaze surf-western.

Playing middle bill, and certainly no stranger to Pinedale, Austin’s The Lonesome Heroes return after a two-year hiatus from playing Sublette County. Austin’s KUTX describes them as “the soundscape that occurs when indie rock and country artfully cross paths.”

Opening Saturday night’s show will be the Ft. Collins/Austin-based Whippoorwill. Featuring members of The Patti Fiasco and Von Stomper, Whippoorwill is cathartic, experiential alt-folk written by boots-in-the-dirt, partner-in-crime country girls and delivered across drummer Tobias Bank’s vast percussive landscape.

Following the music in the park, both The Lonesome Heroes and Whippoorwill will play a special after-party at Wind River Brewing Co., which kicks off at 9 p.m.
