(October 4th, 2023) Asking Alexandria ripped through The Union Event Center in Salt Lake City on their Co-headliner tour with The Hu and opening support from Zero 9:36. 

Overall, it was an excellent show to attend but for me, Asking Alexandria absolutely stole the night. The crowd was completely engaged throughout their entire setlist that ranged from brand new never played tracks from their latest and 8th studio album “Where Did It Go?” released August 25th, as well as classics from their debut album “Stand Up And Scream” released in 2009 and a healthy mixture of popular tracks over the years to fill in the gaps.

Chappell Roan’s concert was a captivating experience. Showcasing her unique blend of soulful vocals and compelling songwriting. The Depot buzzed with anticipation as she took the stage. I spoke to a few fans in the front row.  They told me that the night was “Space” themed. People across the general admission floor were dressed as aliens, astronauts, and everything in between. These fans also told me that I was in for a great show.  Little did they know that I had seen Chappell Roan in concert.  I got to be there at her sold-out show the Soundwell just a few blocks from The Depot.

The Band CAMINO finally made their way to Orem, Utah at the UCCU Center for their Screaming in the Dark tour and boy was it a night that I will never forget. The Band Camino was a band that I was familiar with, having their top hits cycle through my playlists from time to time. But, after what I experienced on that spectacular night I immediately became a permanent fan.

On September 29th, alternative rock band Collective Soul returned to The Union in SLC for another spectacular performance. It was clear that the Utah audience was enthused to have them back, as the line for admission wrapped around the block well before the concert began. In line, fans buzzed with excitement as they shared memories about the numerous times they had seen Collective Soul live. Despite reaching peak popularity in the 90s, the band clearly has since maintained a loyal fan base here in Utah. Fans sported old merch from past tours and albums, chatting with each other about the first time they saw Collective Soul in Utah. Witnessing the nostalgia that Collective Soul evokes in their fans was a truly heartwarming moment.

Everclear, the rock band formed in Portland, Oregon made its way to the DeJoria Center in Kamas to perform for its tour with The Ataris & The Pink Spiders. I know what you’re thinking… Kamas?! Utah’s music scene seems to only be prevalent in the confines of Salt Lake City and the metropolitans nearby. The town you drive by to go to the Uintah’s was the last place I would’ve thought to have a music scene. However, it didn’t disappoint

Third Eye Blind

A crowd full of 90’s alternative music lovers all gathered together at the Sandy Amphitheater on Saturday, June 25th. Third Eye Blind has always been known to attract a large crowd. I was not surprised that the show was sold out. Many in attendance were eager to reconnect with one of their favorite bands from their past. They hoped to hear those nostalgic favorites including “How’s It Going To Be,” and “Semi-Charmed Life”.  There were also those in the crowd who have never stopped playing their music, or following the band’s journey. There were even some young new fans. Regardless if they came to hear the band they fell in love with in the 90s, or if they had recently discovered Third Eye Blind, I don’t think a single person left disappointed.

Iron & Wine and Andrew Bird filled Red Butte Garden with earthy folk and swanky strings Tuesday night. Both known for smart, bookish lyrics and singular performance styles, they go well together. Iron & Wine (Sam Beam) opened with “Love Vigilantes” followed by “Jezebel.” Without a band, he improvised some beatboxing during “Lovers’ Revolution.”
