Park City Music Hall welcomes the Bella Rayne Band, led by 18 years old, self-taught guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter Bella Rayne. Born in the mountains of North Carolina and raised on the Mendocino coast of California, she delivers a bold mix of jam band energy, Southern-leaning rock, 90s grunge grit, and a psychedelic streak that is drawing national attention. Her story began during the pandemic when she revived an old Stratocaster from the garage, taught herself to play by ear, and blended influences from rock, Americana, bluegrass, and the jam-band tradition into a sound that feels distinctly her own. Along the way she has shared stages with the Allman Betts Family Revival, Melvin Seals & JGB, ALO, Jackie Greene, Oteil Burbridge, and members of Terrapin Family, and was highlighted by her hero Susan Tedeschi in Guitar World Magazine as one to watch. A standout milestone arrived when the Grateful Guitars Foundation entrusted her with Jerry Garcia’s famed “Alligator” guitar, a defining chapter in her early rise. Her project, the Bella Rayne Band, is a guitar-driven group of young yet seasoned musicians. Expect sets that weave soulful Southern rock, modern Americana, imaginative Grateful Dead interpretations, and original material. Beyond the stage, her partnership with the Grateful Guitars Foundation supports music education, including school visits that encourage young people, especially girls, to pick up instruments and pursue their musical goals. This is an all-ages show. General admission is $20 plus online ticketing fees. Park City Music Hall features a full bar and kitchen serving craft cocktails and a variety of food. The kitchen begins service when doors open and stays available until the “Kitchen Open” light is turned off. Seating is very limited since the room is primarily standing, and any available seats are offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

At StageOne in Fairfield, CT, The James Hunter Six delivers a soulful R&B showcase led by GRAMMY-nominated British singer James Hunter. After more than three decades refining his craft, Hunter blends passionate, lived-in vocals with tight rhythms, a two-sax horn punch, and the warm shimmer of a Hammond B3, capturing the feel of a late-night soul revue. Listeners who gravitate toward the sounds of Sam Cooke, Wilson Pickett, Jackie Wilson, or Van Morrison will find a familiar lineage with a fresh spark. Hunter’s album Off The Fence is his first release on Dan Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound and includes a duet with longtime collaborator Van Morrison on the jump-blues track Ain’t That A Trip. Over the years he has shared stages with artists such as Aretha Franklin, B.B. King, Etta James, Mavis Staples, Bonnie Raitt, and Van Morrison, while earning recognition as a leading voice in British soul. The set moves from driving rhythm and blues to simmering ballads, delivered with spirit, warmth, and an irresistible groove.
