PORTUGAL. THE MAN
2018 Grammy Award Winners for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.
Rendezvous at the Mountain: Portugal. The Man
Location: Jackson Hole Mountain Resort Stage, Teton Village
Venue Opens: 3:30pm, Saturday, March 17, 2018
Portugal. The Man had an incredible 2017, largely due to the runaway success of their inescapable, multi-platinum hit single "Feel It Still," which was undoubtedly one of the biggest songs of the year. Off the band's eighth album Woodstock, the funky, retro-leaning track has hit number one on several Billboard charts - including a record breaking 22-week stint atop the Alternative Songs chart. The tune also earned them their first Grammy award on 1/28/18, for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.
Portugal. The Man has spent the last decade building a reputation as one of the best live bands in music today. Highly sought after by festivals like Coachella, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, and just about every festival around the globe the band delivers a unique blend of rock music that is not afraid to pay tribute to their influences while pushing the boundaries into the Top 40 world. A fluid performance, without computers but with live instruments (as the band likes to remind people) that borrows from such a diverse musical palette to include The Beatles, Oasis, Wu-Tang Clan, Pantera, Metallica, Weezer, Yes, and countless others.

Devon Allman with Special Guest Duane Betts is a staunch proponent of authentic Southern Blues. It’s a legacy that’s always weighed heavy on his musical mantra. He’s chalked up a lengthy list of accomplishments that have entitled him to take his own place in the Southern Rock pantheon. His remarkable resume spans two decades, from his post-millennial breakout with Devon Allman’s Honeytribe through to chart-topping collaborations with Jack Bruce, Javier Vargas, and the widely revered super group, Royal Southern Brotherhood. Nevertheless, the stature he’s achieved on his own via his three highly regarded solo albums -- 2013’s Turquoise, 2014’s Ragged & Dirty (praised by the UK’s Blues Magazine as “reminding you why the blues can be, quite simply, the best thing in the world”) and his most recent effort, the critically acclaimed Ride Or Die -- have proven his prowess as a singer, guitarist and provocateur worthy of being reckoned with based on his talent and tenacity alone.
