Jan 11-17: Brother Mule, Mollie O'Brien, griz, Allman

By Aaron Davis (for JHWeekly.com)Rare double-bill Jackson Hole, Wyo.-The duo of Mollie O’Brien (vocals) and her husband Rich Moore (guitar, vocals), along with the members of string band trio Brother Mule—Ben Winship (vocals, mandolin, banjo), Brian Wicklund (vocals, fiddle), and Eric Thorin (vocals, bass)—share a lot of common ground.All veteran songwriters, these artists also have a knack for digging up less familiar songs by obscure and even popular artists. From classic folk, bluegrass and old-time music, to gospel, blues, ragtime and show tunes, there’s not much under the Americana umbrella that won’t be highlighted during what will be three intimate acoustic shows.It so happens that Winship and Thorin co-produced and played on the 2010 O’Brien/Moore release, Saints and Sinners. Also, O’Brien was the featured female vocalist on Winship’s two installments of Fishing Music CDs. Expect a solid batch of tunes from all of the above, and of course, surprises and collaborations. Mollie O’Brien and Rich Moore, along with Brother Mule, will perform separate sets at 8 p.m., Tuesday and Wednesday (Jan. 17-18) at Dornan’s in Moose ($20 at Valley Bookstore and Dornan’s), and at 7:30 p.m., Thursday Jan. 19 at The Wildwood Room in Victor ($13). Brother Mule also performs 3 to 6 p.m., Friday Jan. 20 at the Trap Bar (free). GRiZ spotted at QHe’s blowing up in the world of electronic music. With more than 40,000 plays per month at Soundcloud.com/griz, GRiZ disperses funky rhythms and jazzy melodic embellishment, incorporating his instrumental zeal for the saxophone with his lifelong dedication to soulful, bass-infused beat-making. Whereas many electronic artists become mired in an over-simplified and standardized method of production for the sake of creative efficiency, GRiZ has no qualms sacrificing speed for the sake of quality, technical diversity and an unrelenting devotion to progress and dynamism.   Bangin! Events presents GRiZ with guests PRSN of Reno and local DJs Cut la Whut and Jefe, 9:30 p.m., Wednesday, at Q Roadhouse. Tickets are $10/advance at ThisMusicBangs.com. or $13/door .Tavern brings an AllmanIt seems that the Allman apple didn’t fall far from the tree. As the son of Southern rock legend Gregg Allman, Devon Allman and his Honeytribe are a quartet boasting more straight up rock ‘n’ roll than the blues-oriented Allman Brothers Band. 307 Live presents Devon Allman’s Honeytribe at 9:30 p.m., Friday, at Town Square Tavern. Tickets are $10, available at 307live.inticketing.com, the Tavern Liquor Store, or at the door. 733-3886.  tags: jackson hole show music musician live band singer songwriter nightlife concerts wyoming center arts photographer planet teton venues screen door porch boondocks guitar
