The Cowboy Bar Announces Inaugural 'Million Dollar Music Fest'

Country super-group, Midland, will headline the inaugural Million Dollar Music Fest, a free, all-ages, big-stage concert on the Jackson Hole Town Square, on Sunday May 26 from 4 - 10pm. Presented by the iconic Cowboy Bar, and co-sponsored with the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce, this Memorial-weekend concert is designed to energize Old West Days by celebrating Jackson's western heritage and the cowboy culture.

Jim Waldrop, president of Silver Dollar Inc. (parent company of The Cowboy Bar) said, "By partnering with Midland, one of the most exciting headline groups in country music today, we hope to celebrate the West in Jackson Hole and the entire region, and kick-off the season in grand Wyoming style."

While the show is free, a limited number of VIP tickets will be available for purchase and will include prime, side-line viewing with a dedicated bar. VIP Tickets will be available for on-line purchase starting April 1st at cowboybarjh.com. For the general public, beer, wine and food will be available for purchase inside the grounds.

Justin Smith, talent buyer for The Cowboy Bar said Midland was the obvious partner to be the headliner for this new music festival. "The band has a true love for Jackson Hole, and an authentic desire to help celebrate cowboy culture, western history, fashion, art, cinema and music. Fresh off of two sold-out nights at The Cowboy in December, it's clear this region loves Midland as much as Midland loves Wyoming."

Nashville-based, LogiCom will continue its relationship with The Cowboy Bar to produce this rain-or-shine event. Other acts will be announced soon. There will be an after-party at The Cowboy Bar featuring outlaw-country favorites, The Darci Carlson Band.

The Million Dollar Cowboy Bar, established in 1937, is widely regarded as a national treasure and is regularly named one of the top honky-tonks in the country. Since buying it in January 2018, ownership is dedicated to returning The Cowboy to the iconic status it enjoyed when it hosted the biggest names in country music.
