DECEMBER 12: 43 North in Jackson, WY
Another fun evening at the base of Snow King.




DECEMBER 8:  Wort Hotel in Jackson, WY
Our first ever show at the infamous Silver Dollar Bar at the Wort Hotel.  A great evening with lots of folks who love live music but don't often stay up until midnight!  Thanks to all who joined us and to the Wort for having us onstage.





DECEMBER 1:  Powder Pig Benefit for Grand Targhee Ski Patrol & Rescue Dogs
A fabulous evening of fun at Tony's Pizza in Driggs, Idaho.  Packed crowd and lots of reggae lovers all night long!

 
JULY 13: Trap Bar at Targhee Music Fest, WY
A blow-out party at the Trap following outdoor performances by Galactic and Joan Armatradding.  People were psyched to party all night and the Trap was overflowing with good spirits and dancing fools.  One of the funnest shows of the summer. 


JULY 4:  Fireworks Fest at The Knotty Pine, Victor, ID
A fabulous day with three live bands, sunshine and good 'ol barbeque with the Tetons as a backdrop - Brice sure knows how to throw a good party.  A great gathering of family and friends in a festive, laid-back atmosphere.  Especially inspiring to see the all ages dancing on the lawn and the fireworks shooting off behind the stage were a sight to behold as On the One grooved under the stars, closing the show around 10 PM.


JUN 15 (Friday) @ Knotty Pine, Victor, ID
First show at the Knotty in 2007, but certainly not the last! Thanks to all the folks who came out to see us in Idaho!


JUN 10 (Sunday): SAR/Smith Benefit  in Wilson
Huge thanks to everyone who turned out to raise money for Search & Rescue's efforts to secure a year-round helicopter in Teton County, as well as helping the family of Adam Smith, a skier who was avalanched in Granite Canyon last winter and who has spent most of the winter recovering from this extreme accident. Kudos to Pica's for their catering, and to the many generous vendors & individuals who donated of their time, gifts & goods for the silent auction.  Also, hats off to all the volunteers who helped out!

MAR. 28 (Wednesday) @ 43 North
It's 3 AM as I write and this party just wound down!  Another great evening shared with friends & guests.  Seth Gray celebrated a b'day, Regina Umber visited Jax for the first time (all the way from NH) & Ben watched our entire show from start to finish!  Thanks also to Neil, Scott, Sarah, Michelle & those of you who keep on coming back. 


MAR. 24 (Saturday) @ Trap Bar - Grand Targhee Resort

Another gorgeous day in Wyoming greeted the band as we skied some Spring corn before setting up to play to an apres ski crowd.  The Trap has a great crew and a good vibe.  Folks from Blackfoot, Boise, Pocatello & Jackson joined us in dancing, smiling & shaking rattles & tamborines until the sun set off the back deck.  See us here again on Sat, April 14, Closing Weekend!


MAR. 17 (Saturday) @ Nick Wilson's:  ST. PATTY'S DAY!
  
We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day.  Temps pushing 60 degrees brought out Spring skiers in full force and hundreds of people enjoyed the show while basking in the sun and quaffing green brews.  The only sad party participant was a picnic table that took a beating from several crazed ladies who jumped up and down on top of it for nearly half the show as the tunes of Marley, Tosh, Toots & original CRB filled the base area until darkness fell.   


MAR. 16: (Friday) @ 43 North

Once again, a great crowd and packed dance floor made for a great evening for all of us. Good to see Mindy, Michelle, Pony, Sarah, Trina, Kathy, Cara, Bill & many others


MAR. 14 (Wednesday) @ 43 North
They had to shut us down at this show (it was 2 AM), despite the crowds going wild for an encore of the 3-horn section that grooved all night.  Jason joined us on saxophone, Kidwell was in from Lander on the trombone and Rachel ripped it on trumpet.  A full 9-piece band, with more to come this Friday!  Special thanks to Corey for helping with the sound system, and Happy (day after) Birthday to Brit!

MAR. 7 (Wednesday) Snow Lodge, Yellowstone National Park
Whewie - what a blow-out show!! Nearly 120 employees joined the "Hippy Beach Party" sporting coconut bras, grass skirts & bathing suits as they blew off steam during closing week of their winter season. Snow Lodger's were rabid for reggae, taking the floor w/skis & boots attached during our first live performance of Dekker's "The Isrealites".


MAR. 2 (Friday) @ 43 North
Chris Moran, a new guitar addition to the band, joined us for an evening filled with friends and a packed dance floor. Trina celebrated a birthday, Andrea's Mom, Joan, saw her first live reggae show and many others had a great time with friends, new and old.



FEB. 10 (Saturday) @ 43 North
Back in town chanting to the snow gods; the chant worked as the snow came down heavy and fat during and after the show (only to melt by the morning). This night was horn-heavy, new and old faces grooved to the sounds that Rachel and John wove between the trumpet and trombone. Thanks to Bob & Carol Clark for traveling from Ohio for the show.

 
FEB. 6 (Tuesday) : MARLEY'S B'DAY @ Nick Wilson's
The apres-ski show to celebrate Bob Marley's birthday rocked until well after the sun went down! Skiers and workers were dancin' hard and wouldn't let the band quit. After multiple encores and four hours of music the celebration ended with a cake and a smile! We plan to repeat the festivities often this spring.


JAN. 26 (Friday): 43 North
With the return of the full horn section and Karaj keeping the heartbeat pumping this turned out to be a fun and funky gathering of the tribe. The silky, sexy trombone of J-Spot Kidwell kept the ladies staring and the rude boys boppin' until 2 AM! Thanks to 43 North for being so good to us and allowing our fans room to boogie. 

JAN. 20 (Saturday): Apres-ski at The Trap Bar
Thanks to Alan and the crew for a great evening! The Trap rocked from 4 - 8 PM and we saw folks from Wisconsin, Utah, Montana, North Carolina and parts unknown dancing the night away! Special thanks to Chris for handling the sound and congratulations to the Honeymooners from Utah! 


JAN. 19 (Saturday): Ski Bum Music Fest @ Mangy Moose
Thanks for coming out to support the Bridger-Teton Avalanche Center (including Avalanche Hotline)! The Moose tells us it was one of their biggest nights this winter and was the best turnout ever for the Ski Bum Music Festival, with over 300 people coming through the door. Thanks to your help, the event raised over $4000 for Avalanche hotline, programs, etc.

JAN. 5 (Friday): 43 North
What a fantastic start to the New Year! The bar was packed by 10 PM and the dance floor shook with folks from everywhere. The Moose Hockey Game started an evening for most people that ended at 43 North, closing the bar at 2 AM after hours of catching up with friends and dancing 'til their feet hurt.
