In the midst of the ongoing actors' strike, Kevin Costner, who is also a guitar player, singer, and songwriter, recently reunited with his band Modern West to play two sold-out shows in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

"The band and I had a truly incredible couple of nights playing the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar," Costner wrote on the group's Facebook page.

"I always love to be in Jackson Hole, where the hospitality is as legendary as this honky tonk's saddled barstools. Thank you for showing us a good time!"

According to the venue's talent booker Justin Smith, Costner's shows sold out in a mere 14 minutes. "That was very exciting!" he says. "It's always fun to be on the receiving end of that." He adds that the show itself was also "very entertaining."

"Their songwriting is so good — there's almost a cinematic quality to it," Smith says. "People were really into it. The vibe was on point."

Smith adds that Jackson Hole, and especially the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar, have become a haven for celebrities. (Sandra Bullock famously hosted a bunch of girlfriends there for her 50th birthday in 2014.)

"Jackson Hole is always a great host, because people here aren't that into celebrities here," Smith says. "It's such an incredible mountain hamlet town. People give them their space. That's the point here. It's come as you are. We still have working folks mingling with billionaires and the cowboys hanging with hippies. It's a pretty great mash up."

He continues, "We love getting the big acts like the Oak Ridge Boys, Hank Williams, Jr., Kevin's band, Carly Pierce. We can put them up in the Wort hotel, and really rise to the occasion."

Prior to the shows, Costner posted videos of himself rehearsing on Instagram.

The Americana-country group Kevin Costner and Modern West, who have been together since 2007, have also previously recorded an album of songs inspired by John Dutton, Costner's character on Yellowstone. And it turns out, he's not the only Costner who performs country music — his daughter Lily is also a country singer, who has performed with her dad in the past.

Costner, who recently finalized his divorce from his ex Christine Costner, says he's long been inspired by the history that shaped America, specifically its western culture.

“I like to look at the moments that define us as people. How hard it was to make a living out of something that wasn’t there, the displacement of the people who were there before you, and then the fight that resulted from it," he told American Songwriting magazine. "It’s the fingerprints on our expansion. They’re understandable, they’re ugly, they’re heroic, they’re shameful.”
