Highland Music is proud to announce the 4th Annual New Year’s Eve Town Social, returning to The Virginian Lodge in Jackson Hole on December 31, 2025, with an exceptional lineup headlined by the valley’s beloved band The Deadlocks. This year’s Town Social raises the bar yet again by featuring three powerhouse special guests: legendary Jerry Garcia Band Hammond B-3 organist Melvin Seals, electrifying vocalist Kanika Moore, and nationally touring drummer Jeremy Hoenig. Following the live music, the celebration continues late into the night with DJ sets in The Virginian Saloon. Tickets are on sale now at tetonfest.com.
The Town Social has quickly become one of Jackson Hole’s most anticipated winter traditions, bringing locals, skiers, travelers, and music fans together at one of the region’s most iconic venues. Building on three consecutive sold-out years, the 2025 edition promises the most exciting lineup yet, uniting some of the most recognizable names in jam, funk, soul, and improvisational music.
Melvin Seals - An Icon
Best known for his dynamic 18-year tenure as the keyboardist for the Jerry Garcia Band, Melvin Seals remains one of the genre’s most influential and celebrated musicians. His unmistakable Hammond B-3 sound helped pioneer what is now known as modern jam-band music, blending blues, funk, jazz, rock, R AND B, and gospel into an electrifying, soulful style. His appearance at the Town Social marks a rare opportunity for Jackson audiences to experience one of the scene’s living legends in an intimate mountain-town setting.
Kanika Moore - A Fearless, Soul-Powered Vocal Force
As the magnetic frontwoman of Doom Flamingo, Kanika Moore has become one of the most captivating vocalists in modern live music. Celebrated for her genre-crossing versatility, she has performed with TAUK (including the collaborative “TAUK Moore” tour), Motown Throwdown, Umphrey’s McGee, Bill Kreutzmann’s Mahalo Dead, The New Mastersounds, Grahame Lesh and Friends, JJ Grey and Mofro, The Psycodelics, DJ
The Deadlocks - Jackson Hole’s Homegrown Grateful Dead Experience
The Deadlocks have become the heart of Jackson Hole’s New Year’s Eve celebration. Known for their dual-drummer configuration, lyrical guitar harmonies, and improvisational depth, the band delivers an authentic, high-energy Grateful Dead experience. Lead guitarist Jeremy Cohen is especially celebrated for his masterful command of the instrument, weaving fluid melodic lines, fiery solos, and thoughtful phrasing into every performance. Each Town Social has featured unique collaborations with major national artists, creating a one-night-only musical chemistry that has become the hallmark of the event.
