JACKSON, Wyo. – As appreciation to the greater Jackson community for its support, and in memory of two longtime valley residents who died in a backcountry skiing accident last spring, the families of Luke Lynch and Stephen Adamson – in conjunction with Jackson Hole Live and Outlaw Partners – are bringing a music legend to the Snow King Ball Park on Sept. 4.
Lukas Nelson and his band Promise of the Real will play a concert to benefit Teton County Search and Rescue and the Jenny Lake Rangers: two agencies that helped in the May 17 rescue effort.
Lynch and Adamson were part of a foursome attempting to climb a couloir known as “The Sickle” on Mt. Moran in Grand Teton National Park when a wet slough avalanche released above them. The men succumbed to fatal injuries sustained during the slide.
Both were experienced backcountry travelers and active in the Jackson community, as well as committed supporters of TCSAR. Adamson was a local lawyer and served on the boards of the Center for the Arts and the National Museum of Wildlife Art.
Lynch, the Wyoming Director of The Conservation Fund, received numerous awards and accolades for his work in conserving hundreds of thousands of acres of lands throughout the state. He also served on the Friends of Pathways Board of Directors.

“Our families are so grateful for the outpouring of love and support we have received from the community,” said Luke’s wife Kathy Lynch. “We also appreciate the efforts of TCSAR and the Jenny Lake Rangers not only on May 17, but year round. This concert is meant as a way to say thank you and to raise funds to support the world-class search and rescue operations in our valley.”
Lukas Nelson and POTR are fresh out of the recording studio with Neil Young, and in June released a new collaborative album called “The Monsanto Years.” Also the son of music superstar Willie Nelson, Lukas and his band are Jackson favorites, having performed at the Jackson Hole Rendezvous in March, as well as numerous other area venues.
The concert will be free and open to all ages with donations highly encouraged to Teton County Search and Rescue and the Jenny Lake Rangers.

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
Please join the Arts Council of Big Sky for free music from Jacob Rountree at the Wilson Hotel Lobby Bar from 5-7 p.m.
