Forty Story Shack

Forty Story Shack formed in the summer of 2007, and all of its members are from Driggs. The band features Kent Garwick on upright bass and vocals, Roy Clapper on guitar, and Cynthia Stoetzer on fiddle, mandolin and vocals.

Originally from Ohio, Roy Clapper has been playing country guitar for 26 years, but began flat picking bluegrass guitar in 2006 at the first ever Targhee Bluegrass Camp which is where he and Cynthia met. He's also been playing electric bass since 1997, and plays every Sunday with his church band at the Calvary Chapel in Driggs.

Kent Garwick began playing guitar at age 12, but got into the bass 15 years ago, and its been his primary focus ever since. Kent has played in numerous bluegrass, blues and rock bands around the area over the years, including the T-Tones in the late nineties. He has been living in the valley for the last 17 years, and can be found hosting the open mic at the Knotty Pine in Victor every Thursday night. In addition to joining the band in 2007, he also started, "Boogie Down", a disc jockeying and mobile sound business.

Merissa Wilson

Merissa Wilson is one of the rare natives of Teton Valley, Merissa brings local flavor to the music scene like few can.  Farm-raised right here in the basin, she grew up singing and playing the piano, but picked up the guitar during her "gypsy days" away from home.  It wasn't long before she was performing her favorite folk songs, and then delved into writing her own music as well.  Compared to favorites such as Joan Baez and Nanci Griffith, her music crosses many genres, but is rarely without harmonies and thought-provoking lyrics.  In addition to her solo act, she plays in the bands Gypsy Tonic with Stacy Cooke and the Lovin' Jug with Michael Batdorf.    Contact:  Please contact manager Matt Lucia (208) 390-8985 or Merissa directly (208) 201-4083 to schedule private or public events.  Visit Merissa online at merissawilson.com
