Jim Gaff and the Coyote Posse at SnowFest 2025 "Cheers to 50 Years!"

Sponsored by Schwartz Manufacturing

Kicking off the first night of SnowFest 2025 is Jim Gaff and the Coyote Posse. Jim Gaff was born with an old country soul. Raised at the end of a fishing pole, running through a corn field or half way up an old oak tree, Jim’s love for all things country came to him naturally. It’s a love that was nurtured through the chords and lyrics of Waylon, Jones and Haggard.

As a young man, Jim’s postcard country upbringing found an outlet in music. As a singer and songwriter, Jim’s music has been described as quintessential American. Country with an outlaw edge. It’s a sound that is further enhanced by his classic, gravelly country vocal sound. Backed by his incredibly talented band, “Coyote Posse”, a night with Jim, is a stage burning mix of powerful lyrics and the classic American sounds of guitar, dobro, banjo, fiddle, piano and harmonica.

Since he first took the stage, Jim’s unique brand of Outlaw Country has been steadily gaining popularity. From playing venues across the Midwest, Jim has gained fans all around the world and he can often be heard on radio interviews. To date, five of his songs have gone to number one on internet radio.

In shows from Nashville to Wisconsin, this ex-firefighter is known to heat up the night with an original song list that includes hits like- That Don’t Sound Like Country, If I could Have Just One Whiskey With Hank and Redneck Wild and Livin’ Proof. This is one act you don't want to miss!

Make sure to get there early as we raise a toast to SnowFest as it celebrates 50!!! Let's say Cheers to 50 Years!
