The Goods: Black Pig Fest, Michael Hurwitz, Ian McFeron and Alisa Milner

By Aaron Davis (for JHWeekly.com) Ninjas and a PigOne Ton Pig and Jet Black Ninja Funkgrass Unit collaborate once a year, stitching together the third Annual Black Pig Fest. Fresh from a run of regional festivals and a chance encounter to pick tunes with world-class bluegrass band The Traveling McCourys, the Pig sextet recently released its debut studio album and added a new member, fiddler Matt Herron. JBNFU plays only a handful of shows each year, and its debut album, Brown Chicken Brown Cow, is a dose of instrumental concoctions laced with fast-pickin’ wah-wah mandolin, funky slap bass and drums. Mandolin player/vocalist Tim Farris is the common thread amongst the two bands. 307 Live presents Black Pig Fest, 9:30 p.m., Friday, at Town Square Tavern. $5 at the door.Gumbo of styles at WortTake a big helping of traditional cowboy music, stir in a little country honkytonk and Western swing, some southern blues and rockabilly, a bit of Louisiana Cajun, a taste of the high lonesome, add a pinch of Mexican Norteno accordion, and a spoonful of Hawaiian slack-key guitar and you’re getting close to the tasty gumbo of styles you’ll hear in the music of Michael Hurwitz. An Alta resident, he sings with a deep baritone on his five critically acclaimed studio releases, and in the live setting, you’ll here plenty of dry wit to keep you entertained as well. Michael Hurwitz and the Aimless Drifters, 7:30 to 11 p.m., Friday and Saturday, at the Silver Dollar Bar. Free. 733-2190.Mellow Americana The voice of Seattle singer-songwriter Ian McFeron brings to mind a blend of Brett Dennon, Dylan and Langhorne Slim. The tunes on his sixth studio release, Summer Nights (2011), are simplistic with up close vocals and a laid back, windows-down vibe. While the album was recorded in Nashville with some heavy hitters (produced by Patti Griffin’s guitarist, Doug Lancio, and support by Ryan Adams’ rhythm section), flashy Music City pickin’ is traded for conservative, yet tasteful song support. Alisa Milner will accompany McFeron on fiddle and harmony vocals. Ian McFeron and Alisa Milner perform 7 to 10 p.m., Monday, at the Mangy Moose in Teton Village. Free. MangyMoose.com.
