Chanman Roots on West Side

(Published in Jackson Hole Weekly)Bobbing your head to original ski bum music like “Ski When it’s Time to Ski” and “Skis Boots Polls” is winter culture you just can’t get elsewhere. Chanman Roots Band is a staple on the Jackson scene, but more of a rare occurrence on the west side of the Tetons. Propelled by the Celestial Horns—Rachel Gray Bundy (trumpet), Powell Miller (trumpet), and Jon Kidwell (trombone)—the nine-piece Chanman Roots Band gives genuine treatment to reggae classics from Marley and Tosh as well contemporary asides via SOJA and Michael Franti. Check out their self-titled album at CDBaby.com/CD/ChanmanRootsBand. Chanman Roots Band, 3 p.m. Saturday in the Trap Bar at Grand Targhee. Free. GrandTarghee.com.
