PINEDALE, Wyo. — Pinedale’s summer music series continues Friday, August 2 with Columbus, Ohio six-piece Doc Robinson and Jackson favorites Aaron Davis & the Mystery Machine. Music will kick off around 5 p.m.
All Soundcheck shows are presented by the Pinedale Fine Arts Council (PFAC) and take place at American Legion Park in downtown Pinedale. Shows are free to the public and are kid/family friendly and feature food and drink vendors and fun activities for kids!
Melding eccentric lyricism, heartbreak harmonies and dueling lead guitar synergy, Columbus, Ohio’s Doc Robinson has catapulted itself beyond genre categorization into a midwestern “gumbo” concoction. From front man Jon Elliott come commanding tenor vocals, abstract interludes at a moment’s notice and blissful melodic interjections. Doc revels in a deliberate spectrum of sounds, the audial counterpart to a beautifully splattered Jackson Pollak canvas.
Since its inception, the band has established itself as a pioneering voice in the grassroots indie movement of the late 2010s. Nationwide tours (alongside Camp, Neal Francis, The Brook and the Bluff and more) and song placements on major TV series (The Walking Dead and BoJack Horseman) have allowed them to reach audiences worldwide and have transformed their live performance into feel good sing-along parties.
Aaron Davis is a Wyoming-based Kentucky native chiefly known as the cofounder of national touring act Screen Door Porch and as engineer-producer-session player at Three Hearted Recording Studio in Hoback, Wyoming. As a multi-instrumentalist (voice, acoustic, electric, resonator, lap steel guitars, banjo and harmonica), the “truly phenomenal songwriter” (Americana UK) works the lesser-worn corners of the American musical fabric through an unconventional lens, leading the press to describe Aaron as “a combination that goes down like top-shelf bourbon” (Austin Chronicle) with “a searing slide guitar” (Country Weekly), and “a particularly standout approach that mixes poetry, groove and roughness” (Lonestar Time).
