The Grand Teton Music Festival and venues in Jackson, Lander, and Cheyenne support classical, indie, and folk musicians.

Scene guide
Know Wyoming
Wyoming's music grows out of ranch and rodeo culture, from cowboy ballads and western dance bands to the country concerts at Cheyenne Frontier Days. Kaycee's Chris LeDoux turned rodeo life into a self-made recording career, selling tapes from the back of his truck, and the Grand Teton Music Festival brought orchestral summers to Jackson Hole. Laramie's university scene adds indie and punk to the mix.
