LP is in the house! On October 29th, LP – short for Laura Pergolizzi – and their band, graced the stage in Salt Lake City at The Union! This was a highly anticipated show for people with immaculate musical taste. It was nothing short of a grand performance. Featuring all sorts of rock, country, blues, and pop hits from their expansive discography. If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to be in the presence of a musical phenomenon, LP is a prime example. Just raw talent. LP’s vocals are breathtaking! Sometimes with a delicate raspy quality, sometimes smooth and angelic. Every high note and vibrato sent chills down to my toes. They have such a vibrant stage presence. A similar vibe to Jagger’s, that is unapologetically themselves, which was lovely to witness!

The Offspring brought incredible energy to USANA Amphitheatre on September 7th and gave their fans an amazing performance. The band had originally planned on performing at USANA weeks earlier, on August 3rd with Sum 41 and Simple Plan. During that performance, a storm began slowly rolling in as the supporting bands took turns on the stage. By the time The Offspring were set to perform, the weather was bad enough to require an evacuation of the venue. The show was postponed before the crowd ever got a glimpse of the Headliners. The Offspring promised they would be back, and they didn’t leave their eager fans waiting too long. On September 7th, the weather was perfect and The Offspring fans of all ages returned and filled the amphitheater.

As summer draws near its end, concertgoers packed the outdoor stage of The Great Saltair Saturday evening to catch the Wet Hot All-American Summer Tour featuring All-American Rejects. The sun began to set over the water as The Get Up Kids started the night off. I wasn’t super familiar with their music but I know that they had a few big punk rock hits. They came out and got the energy nice and warmed up. It was a great set.
