Bands & Musicians in Wyoming

Cowboy music and western ballads run deep through the state's ranching and frontier history, with performers like Chris LeDoux carrying that tradition forward. The Grand Teton Music Festival and venues in Jackson, Lander, and Cheyenne support classical, indie, and folk musicians. University towns and ski communities keep the live music scene active year-round.

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.
