The Hootenanny II is a wildly fun, theatrical variety show featuring over 24 local musicians decked out in cosmic cowboy gear. We’re talking Darth Vader burlesque, an otherworldly banjo orchestra, new takes on ‘80s classics, and a whole new perspective on acoustic music. The Commonwealth Room is putting the “fun” back in fundraising by hosting this special night on Friday, September 6, 2024.
Building on the success of last February’s Cosmic Hootenanny at The Commonwealth Room, The Hot House West Septet and Pompe ‘n Honey are back with a new set of musical friends. This spirited jamboree includes Josie-O and The Big Six, a local supergroup that closed out this year’s Ogden Music Festival with a magical set. Other staple bands from the Salt Lake City music scene include The Elderblossoms and Theoretical Blonde. All of the members of these bands are core constituents of Hot House West 501(c)(3), a local nonprofit that is dedicated to creating experiences of connectedness, learning, and joy through the language of acoustic music.
All ticket sales and any proceeds from swanky and special merch sales, and items sold at the evening’s silent auction will go directly towards supporting Hot House West programs and events. This is our opportunity to hear some great music by local performers and help to build Salt Lake City’s musical community.
This gala is for people who love acoustic music. It’s our chance to feel good while supporting a great cause.
Here’s a link to our preview of the Cosmic Hootenanny back in February.
