The hit single, 1986's "Keep Your Hands to Yourself," rocked as hard as an old Chuck Berry song, as well as being almost as clever. The Satellites weren't a back-to-basics roots rock band, either — their straightforward sound borrowed equally from Berry, the Rolling Stones, the Faces, Little Feat, and AC/DC, with a Southern backwoods bent. At their best, the Satellites are just a damn good rock & roll band. |

As All About Jazz raves, “Blessed with a rich vocal range, an innate skill for lyrical interpretation and a soul-deep understanding of music as a means of healing, empowerment and celebration, Simone is very much her mother's daughter, but she is most assuredly a multi-talented artist in her own right.” Artist website: http://www.simonesworld.com/ Tickets are $31 for general admission lawn seating and $56 for reserved seating (discounts are available for seniors and children 12 and under).

| Aug 16,2009 | Madeleine Peyroux & Lucy Wainwright Roche:
Location: Deer Valley Snow Park Amphitheatre Time: 7 pm (rain or shine) The Park City Performing Arts Foundation presents the 2009 St. Regis Big Stars, Bright Nights Outdoor Concert Series at Deer Valley Resort Another daughter of music royalty, Lucy Wainwright Roche, takes the stage two weeks later. Roche and French-American chanteuse Madeleine Peyroux perform back-to-back sets on Sunday, Aug. 16. With a voice NPR describes as “sincere and raw, at times, recalling Joni Mitchell and Patti Griffin,” Roche is forging her own singer-songwriter path with an endearing simplicity. Her “clear as a bell” (The New York Times) vocals and acoustic guitar provide perfect-for-the mountain setting, refreshingly pure folk music. Peyroux has released four albums featuring a blend of jazz, roots music and blues. She’s toured with Lilith Fair and shared a bill with Nina Simone. Until her most recent album, “Bare Bones” (released this month), her Billie Holiday-esque sound blossomed with a repertoire primarily consisting of standards. Recently, Peyroux has come into her own as a songwriter whose melancholy lilt is brightened with some lightheartedness. “There’s no denying that her vocal inflections and delicate sound can seem to channel Billie Holiday,” writes Nashville Scene, “but even on Peyroux’s 1996 debut “Dreamland” her unorthodox treatment of “I 'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter” with loping oom-pah harpsichord and ethereally wandering slide guitar might have tipped us off that this was not another American Songbook diva.” Tickets are $31 for general admission lawn seating and $56 for reserved seating (discounts are available for seniors and children 12 and under).

| Sep 7,2009 | Robert Earl Keen, Jill Sobule & John Doe:
Location: Deer Valley Snow Park Amphitheatre Time: 7 pm (rain or shine) The Park City Performing Arts Foundation presents the 2009 St. Regis Big Stars, Bright Nights Outdoor Concert Series at Deer Valley Resort. The summer season comes to a close with an evening of singer-songwriters. Headlining the Monday, Sept. 7 show is country-alternative, fan-favorite Robert Earl Keen. Keen’s humorous songwriting lends itself to both rollicking fun and storytelling tunes. The Texas-bred musician has penned hits that have made their way onto Lyle Lovett and Nanci Griffith albums. Lending his own voice to “The Road Goes on Forever” and “Farm Fresh Onions” has earned him die-hard followers. Sharing the singer-songwriter bill with Keen are Jill Sobule and John Doe. Founding member of the Los Angeles punk band X, John Doe launched his solo career, departing from punk in the ’90s. His rootsy, country-rock direction led to several acclaimed albums, including “Meet John Doe,” “Dim Stars, Bright Sky” and “Forever Hasn’t Happened Yet.” A bass player, actor and poet, John Doe’s most recent endeavor is a new album with Canadian indie group, The Sadies. With a decidedly contrasting style to the gentlemen singer-songwriters, Sobule launched to the top of the charts in the ’90s with the hit “I Kissed a Girl” (which was followed by another tongue-and-cheek tune, “Supermodel”). The New York Times describes her music as “topical, funny and more than a little poignant.” Tickets are $31 for general admission lawn seating and $56 for reserved seating (discounts are available for seniors and children 12 and under).
