Rifle\u2019s Ute Theater will be going to the dogs this Saturday as the Rifle Animal Shelter occupies the venue for its sixth annual Hoot at the Ute.<\/p>\n

The Hoot, which again will feature a diverse lineup of local musicians assembled by Tom Evans, serves as a fundraiser for the shelter.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s musicians include:<\/p>\n

\u2022 The Rust\/Statler Duo, which consists of Rifle natives Jake Statler and Tyler Rust, plays original music in a bluegrass and folk style featuring Statler\u2019s fingerstyle guitar.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Wild Flight duo is Eric Gross and Emily Jay, a keyboard player and singer who live in Carbondale. They\u2019ve been together for years with different bands, but they broke off as a duo that performs folk, jazz and light rock, including both covers and originals.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Jill Cohn is a singer-songwriter who got her start in the Seattle coffeehouse circuit in the late \u201990s. She was a Top Five finalist during the first national Lilith Fair Competition Talent Search, and continues to tour nationally, playing nearly 200 nights a year.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Feeding Giants is a band based out of Glenwood Springs that is led by husband and wife Kevin and Andrea Ware. They perform covers as well as many originals ranging in style from classic country to classic rock to indie folk rock and Americana.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Stone Kitchen is Porsche and Lester Rogers who play acoustic flavored Americana roots music blending traditional styles of bluegrass, blues and outlaw country with their individual styles of songwriting. Their sound utilizes the fiddle, mandolin, slide guitar, guitar and three part harmonies.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Oran Mor is led by husband and wife Tom and Karen Cochran who founded the band more than 12 years ago. Their repertoire includes traditional music, some dating back to the late 1700s, as well as current Celtic music and Americana tunes, with a few originals sprinkled into their set.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Tom Evans, who has produced the show every year since its inception in 2015 plays finger picking blues or \u201cEast Coast blues.\u201d Evans will be joined by Jim Hipp, who was originally slated to perform with Elliot Leonard who died earlier this year. Evans said that he and Hipp will perform one of Leonard\u2019s songs as a tribute to their late friend.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe performers are people I\u2019ve known, and a few people I didn\u2019t know but reached out to,\u201d Evans said. \u201cEvery year we\u2019re overwhelmed with people who want to do the show. This year I probably turned down five acts that wanted to do it, but I kind of want to change up the show from year to year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kalli Wilson, who is the shelter\u2019s director of development, said the community has really embraced the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s amazing,\u201d she said. \u201cEvery year there\u2019s a line out the door to come into the event. It\u2019s usually a pretty packed house, and we have a lot of returning artists, so it\u2019s a big draw for the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wilson said all the proceeds from the event go directly into the shelter\u2019s daily operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt helps us to take in and care for more animals each year,\u201d she said. \u201cLast year we had a record breaking year. This is a big contributor and the reason why we can continue to help more.\u201d<\/p>\n
