Cigarettes After Sex • October 3, 2024 • Delta Center
Reviewed and Photographed by Kevin Rolfe
Alternative band, more specifically Dream Pop band, Cigarettes After Sex returned to Utah just over a year after they played a sold-out show in Ogden. Cigarettes After Sex was part of the 2023 Ogden Twilight Concert Series lineup. Not only were they part of the lineup, but the show was one of the most anticipated in the series. The show sold out and people were paying a premium on the second-hand market just to get in. While I wasn’t surprised that the band would be returning to Utah soon. I must admit that I did not anticipate them playing the Delta Center. Not only did they play the premier venue, they sold it out!

Last Wednesday, Salt Lake welcomed the lovely John Vincent III to The Commonwealth Room for ‘The Roadtrip’ tour! It has been at least five years since John played in Utah, so it was a treat to have him back. I have loved his music since I discovered him in 2019, and I was stoked to finally see him live. It was also the first attending a show at Commonwealth, and it did not disappoint! It’s a cozy intimate venue with a few bars and an outdoor patio. I arrived just as the show started and was able to get up to the front for an amazing view!

Crowded House • September 18, 2024 • Red Butte Garden Amphitheater

Outdoor Summer concerts are dwindling down. Temperatures are dropping and concerts are moving back inside for the next several months. It’s been an amazing season this year at Red Butte Garden. We couldn’t end the season without heading to the amphitheater for one last show. Seeing Australian rock band, Crowded House was the perfect way to end our coverage of this year’s series. It was a brisk night. The cool temperature didn’t deter fans. People just bundled up and as the show went along they warmed up.
Crowded House is a band that for some reason I have never seen before. I’ve listened to them over the years and remember when they came on the scene in the mid-eighties. I know they were supposed to play Eccles Theater within the past few years but something happened to where it was cancelled. Crowded House frontman, Neil Finn even eluded to the canceled show and wondered why they hadn’t returned to Utah in so long. Regardless of the reason, we were glad to see them.

We recently had the opportunity to attend a Lainey Wilson concert out at Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre. It was a fun night filled with the excitement of a Country Music star shooting up into the stratosphere of that genre. This was the biggest tour Lainey had played to date and for many, myself included, it was the first time they had the opportunity to see the fast-rising star. Just a couple of weeks later we had the opportunity to take in a show and see the Country Music world from a different perspective. We stepped into the Sandy Amphitheater to see one of Country Music’s biggest legends, Wynonna Judd.

The Lower Lights • Masonic Temple • September 14, 2024

In the past decade, there hasn’t been a year that has gone by where I haven’t seen The Lower Lights in concert. Over that time I’ve seen this band more than any other. Typically I’ll catch one (sometimes two or three!) of their holiday residency at Kingsbury Hall on the campus of the University of Utah. Those concerts are a Christmas tradition that I refuse to miss. In the last couple of years, in addition to the Christmas concerts, The Lower Lights have gone back to their roots and performed non-holiday shows filled with classic hymns and old spirituals sprinkled with some more modern classics. Last year they played Sandy Amphitheater to great acclaim. For the first time in ten years, The Lower Lights returned to the Masonic Temple in Salt Lake City. A venue where they played many of their early now legendary shows.
