Last week in Salt Lake City, Purity Ring put on a mesmerising and immersive show at The Depot! From start to finish, it was a dreamy spectacle of floating ambience and unreal visuals. The room was nearly sold out, and everyone came ready to be transported to another dimension. I was really stoked for this show as I listened to the setlist on my way to the venue! Purity Ring had definitely been on my list of artists to see, and I had no idea what to expect! I had no clue what the production was going to be, and when I saw the rows of fan-shaped lights stationary on the stage, I was very intrigued by what that was going to look like.

This past Sunday, I had the incredible opportunity to photograph The Band CAMINO live at The Complex in Salt Lake City. It was my fourth time seeing them and my third time photographing them. Somehow, each show feels even more electric than the last. I was looking forward to seeing what one of my favorite bands was going to bring this time.

Elbow

There’s something quietly monumental about seeing Elbow perform live. The Manchester band, fronted by the endlessly charismatic Guy Garvey, has always occupied a singular space in Alternative Music. Accessible, grand yet intimate, able to make a thousand-person room feel like your own living room. When they brought their 2025 North American tour to The Union Event Center in Salt Lake City, that rare magic was fully on display. What unfolded wasn’t just a concert, but a heartfelt communion between band and audience — equal parts celebration, reflection, and collective release.

It may have been raining out, but the crowd came out for The Beaches at The Complex in Salt Lake City with opening act Annie DiRusso. While others were forced to brave the precipitation at other shows going on in SLC, we were fortunate to be inside the warm confines of The Rockwell room of The Complex.

Quinn XCII stopped by at the America First Field on October 3rd with Allen Stone for his LOOK! I’m Alive Tour. I was excited to cover this show, not only because of Quinn XCII and Allen Stone but also because I haven’t photographed there before. The stage was on the east side of the stadium. It was outdoors and had an amazing view of the mountains in the background.

When Ice Cube took the stage at the Maverik Center for his Truth to Power: Four Decades of Attitude Tour, the atmosphere was electric—charged with the weight of history, legacy, and raw energy. The night was a guided tour through the evolution of West Coast hip-hop, led by one of its most uncompromising architects. Cube turned the arena into a living museum of rap, balancing nostalgia with urgency, and proving that four decades into his career, he still knows how to command a crowd. I remember listening to N.W.A. and later Ice Cube solo albums with my best friend in high school. He had an amazing car stereo, and we would play these songs so loud in our Los Angeles suburb. This concert was a trip down memory lane for me. Ice Cube did not disappoint.
