Since his relationship with his estranged wife came to a head, Kevin Costner has turned to his band to sing his blues songs!
The veteran actor is known for his outstanding achievements in Hollywood; However, he also made waves as a country music star with the band Modern West. The “Dances with Wolves” star recently reunited with the group, a welcome change following his acrimonious split from ex-wife Christine Baumgartner.

A month after the finalization of his divorce, the film producer filled the absence of his ex-partner with his old music crew. Members of the band Modern West were captured on Costner’s Instagram page in a video compilation of their practice and performance in Yellowstone.
The group reunited for a show at the famous Million Dollar Cowboy Bar in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves” star looks happier than ever to be with his friends and show off his guitar skills on stage, as seen in the clip.
The TV personality raved about the live performance in her caption, sharing her love for her bandmates and fans. The 3-time Golden Globe Award recipient’s message reads:
“The band and I had an incredible few nights playing @milliondollarcowboybar. I’ve always loved being in Jackson Hole, where the hospitality is as legendary as this honky tonk saddle bar stool. Thanks for showing us a good time!”
Days before the veteran actor’s post, the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar shared their appreciation for Costner and his band’s performance at their venue. On their Instagram page, the social group shared various photos of the “Waterworld” actor with his bandmates on stage.
The images capture the 2-time Oscar winner’s bright smile, the same expression she reflects in her post. The venue captioned the moving photo: “@kevincostnermodernwest rocked the #TheCowBoyBar stage last night, and we can’t wait for more! See you again the second night. Doors at 6:30, show at 8.”
As noted, Costner’s appearance in Jackson Hole was a trip down memory lane for the actor, who stole the hearts of millions with his impressive performance in the Paramount Network drama series “Yellowstone.” This detail was not lost on viewers of the show, with one fan reminiscing about their meeting with the singer. The individual’s comment read:
“Thank you, Kevin, for stopping by Belle Cose on Broadway where your Yellowstone hat and Buckle are made by Burns1876, a partner with Belle Cose. You were so kind to respond to my begging you to go out of your way to come back for a photo….SO appreciate it and you!”

After dropping out of the music world, the 68-year-old didn’t return until a decade later, thanks to his then-wife Christine Baumgartner. During a 2014 interview, the country music star reflected on how she inspired him to continue singing, saying:
“I kind of surrounded and doubted it all and kind of avoided it. For two years, he pursued me to do it because he saw how much I enjoyed doing it. And finally, I said that I would do it.
The father of seven created the group Modern West in 2007 with his friends John Coinman and Blair Forward. That year, the group toured the world and then released their first album, “Untold Truths,” in 2008. The music compilation reached No. 61 on the US Billboard Top Country Albums, marking one of the group’s many successful tracks.
Although Baumgartner participated in Costner’s musical comeback, the actor’s ex-wife stopped being his muse in May 2023. The handbag designer filed to end their marriage along with a whopping nearly $200,000 in child support payments for the ex-couple’s three children .
However, the 49-year-old’s plans didn’t turn out the way he wanted, as the matter ended up out of court, with the couple upholding their prenuptial agreement. Weeks after their bitter divorce battle, sources claim the “Waterworld” actor’s feelings for Baumgartner haven’t gone away.
“Christine sees the positive side of being friends with Kevin again since he walked away with less than he bargained for,” the insider explained. “They were friendly, which was a relief to Kevin. Even after all this bad blood, he still has a sweet spot for her.”
