If there’s one thing Salt Lake City knows how to do, it’s show up for Andy Grammer.
On August 3, Red Butte Amphitheatre was packed for a sold-out night of music, dancing, singalongs, and plenty of feel-good energy as Andy Grammer returned to one of his favorite Utah crowds. And judging by the number of people on their feet, Salt Lake City was more than ready for him.
Walk Off the Earth
But before Grammer hit the stage, Walk Off the Earth got the party started.
The band opened the night with an energetic set that had the crowd moving from the very beginning. Known for their creative performances and infectious enthusiasm, Walk Off the Earth brought plenty of personality to the stage. They even surprised the audience with a very special appearance by “The Luminati Suns,” the children of band members Gianni Luminati and Sarah Blackwood. The adorable mini-performers were a definite highlight and earned plenty of cheers from the crowd.
Andy Grammer
Then came the moment everyone had been waiting for: Andy Grammer.
Grammer kicked off his set with “Big Stupid Heart” and quickly launched into a string of fan favorites, including “Good to Be Alive (Hallelujah),” “Magic,” “85,” and “All I Want Is You.” The crowd knew the words, sang along loudly, and seemingly had no plans to sit down anytime soon.
The setlist was a perfect mix of familiar favorites and new music, including “Don’t Wanna Fall in Love,” “Who’s Saving Who,” and other songs that gave fans a taste of what’s ahead.
One of the biggest crowd-pleasers was Grammer’s “Fresh Eyes” electric guitar medley, which turned into a musical roller coaster through songs like “Lil Boo Thang,” “Stick Season,” “Semi-Charmed Life,” “Levitating,” and even “I Want It That Way.” It was unexpected, ridiculously fun, and had the entire amphitheatre singing along.
Then, just when the night was at its peak, things got emotional. Young Michaelyn joined Grammer onstage for “Don’t Give Up On Me.” She shared that she has Cystic Fibrosis and was scheduled to undergo surgery just three days later. The atmosphere shifted as the crowd listened, and it was one of those quiet, powerful concert moments that sticks with you long after the final song.
But there was still more fun to come. Walk Off the Earth returned to the stage to join Grammer for “Happy Place,” turning the performance into another joyful collaboration. After “Best Hearts,” “Back Home,” and “You’ve Got a Friend in Me,” the night headed toward its big finale.
And what better way to end an Andy Grammer show than with “Honey, I’m Good.” The crowd danced, sang, and celebrated every last second.
Andy Grammer has always had a special relationship with Utah, and it’s easy to see why. Every tour seems to bring another sold-out show, another enthusiastic crowd, and another night where nobody wants the music to stop.
After August 3, one thing is certain: Salt Lake City will be ready when Andy Grammer comes back. Until then, we’ll be replaying the songs, remembering the moments, and patiently waiting for the next Utah show.
