Holiday Hoot

Kick off the Winter Hootenanny with a Holiday Version. Doors open at 5pm-Hoot starts at 6pm.

Dec 15th will mark the impressive 1,249th Holiday Hootenanny performance. It is a very popular open mic that fills up fast. Musicians sign up between 5 and 6pm with the show starting right at 6. Musicians play two, 3-minute songs, acoustic only, and are asked to play a traditional (old enough to vote) tune + one other.

What exactly is a “Hootenanny?” Originally, it was an Appalachian colloquialism which, in the 1960s, morphed into an informal gathering with folk music. Here in Jackson, back in the good ole’ days, Bill Briggs (first person to ski the Grand Teton) brought his music to friends and folkies under the bridge in Moose, WY. This was the start of what has now become the famous Jackson Hole Hootenanny.
