The Hard hitting soul sensation out of Arcata, CA, Object Heavy is getting behind Garrett Shider aka Starchildjr who takes the helm as they join forces, bringing the songbook of early Parliament/Funkadelic, as well as some Object Heavy favorites.
About Starchildjr….
Garrett is literally a clone created on the Mothership as his dad was Parliament-Funkadelic’s diaper clad guitarist and frontman Garry Shider and Garrett’s music is a direct reflection of the lessons learned from his funky father and the P-Funk crew. His music uses the same concepts of The One, lyrical expression, metaphorical and satirical humor, and musical melodies made famous by P- Funk as well, but with Garrett’s own twist.
He is currently performing with the current alignment of Parliament-Funkadelic now taking over a lot of his dad’s parts.
He has essentially been performing since birth, earning his first writer’s credit at the age of 6 (Pumpin it Up from P-funk All Stars album Urban Dance Floor Guerillas), appearing on The Red Hot Chili Peppers Freaky Styley at the age of 7, and honing his talents at DC’s Duke Ellington School of the Arts, where he also had a chance to perform at a very young age with the likes of Stevie Wonder, Anita Baker, Kenny Loggins, Ray Charles, and countless other artist.
So needless to say, Garrett is beyond ready to fill those “funky diapers” left behind by his dad!!

Concerts on the Commons captures the rhythm of summer in Jackson Hole, offering a relaxed, open-air setting where guests can gather, enjoy live music, and take in long evenings in the Tetons. This year’s series features nationally touring artists across rock, Americana, funk, reggae, and jam band sounds. Highlights include reggae icons Third World, alt-country pioneers Old 97’s, new wave country standout Rattlesnake Milk, and Steely Dead’s legendary blend of Grateful Dead and Steely Dan.
“We’re thrilled to bring Concerts on the Commons back for another incredible season,” said Dom Gagliardi of Poppa Presents, who has proudly partnered with TVA to produce the series for the past 17 years. “What started as a fun summer idea has grown into a true community tradition for both locals and visitors. Working alongside TVA year after year has been an amazing experience, and we’re excited to keep that momentum going. This year’s lineup is packed with outstanding talent and high-energy performances you won’t want to miss.”
“We’re incredibly proud to continue supporting Concerts on the Commons,” said Meghan Quinn, Executive Director of TVA. “This free summer series has become a cornerstone of our community, bringing people together through music and shared experiences. Our partnership with Poppa Presents has been key to its success, and we’re excited for another season of unforgettable performances.”
