Taylor Acorn • World’s First Cinema • April 27, 2024 • Soundewell

On April 27th, Salt Lake City had the pleasure of welcoming Pennsylvannia-native Taylor Acorn to the Soundwell stage where she played for a sold-out audience. The venue brimmed with excitement as people overflowed into nearly every corner of the building. Among the concertgoers were several dedicated young fans watching their first live concert with posters in hand. With catchy hooks and intoxicating melodies, it’s easy to see why Acorn’s music has such an appeal to music enthusiasts of all ages. Well before the concert even began a staggering line was already congregating to purchase some of her hottest tour merch, including what seemed to be a favorite—some signed polaroids taken prior to the show. Taylor’s Good Enough tour was joined by LA-based band World’s First Cinema who opened the night with a pop-rock performance of their own.

Peter Frampton • April 9, 2024 • Eccles Theater
Reviewed and Photographed by Kevin Rolfe
Last summer Peter Frampton was scheduled to play a show at the Sandy Amphitheater. I strolled up to the venue about 20 minutes before showtime to find a long line outside. That was pretty unusual for shows that I’ve been to in the past at Sandy Amp so I wondered what the situation was. I was fortunate enough to surpass the line with my media credentials and go inside the venue to try and get the inside scoop. What I discovered was that there would be no Frampton concert due to some unforeseen technical issues. My hope was that the show would be rescheduled, but that doesn’t always happen. I wondered if I missed my chance to see Peter Frampton live.

Charlie Parr • April 6, 2024 • The Commonwealth Room
Reviewed and Photographed by Kevin Rolfe
Minnesota-based singer-songwriter and guitarist, Charlie Parr made a tour stop at The Commonwealth Room on Saturday, April 6. Parr seems to be almost constantly on the road. A troubadour making his way through the country and around the world, bringing songs from his eighteen (yes! 18!) albums to fans of good music. On this tour, Charlie Parr will be presenting music from his latest album, Little Sun. Released on March 22. I’m not quite sure how Parr chooses from such a vast catalog. I was excited to be seeing him for the first time.

Slow Hollows • Sunhill • March 19, 2024 • Kilby Court
Reviewed and Photographed by Logan Fang
On March 19th, Salt Lake City had the pleasure of welcoming LA-based band Slow Hollows to Kilby Court where they performed for a small, yet eager audience of Tuesday concert-goers. Kilby Court, a familiar and charming setting to most locals, offered a perfect scene for Slow Hollow that night with its grungy and dark atmosphere. The night featured a small set by local band Sunhills who kicked off the show with a mix of indie vocals and surrealist sounds followed by the extensive works of the much anticipated Slow Hollows.

Dawes? Good! Lucius? So good! Dawes & Lucius??? Wow! I was not prepared for how good this concert was going to be. We’ve had the privilege of covering Dawes several times over the years and last year we were excited to review Lucius. These are some of the best live bands that come to Utah. When I saw that they would be touring together and that they would be playing The Commonwealth Room I was really hoping that Utah Concert Review would be there to cover the show. Fortune favored us and we were there!

Mom Jeans • Summer Salt • March 3, 2024 • The Union
Reviewed and Photographed by Morgan Newbold
Last Wednesday night, indie-rock band Mom Jeans came out to Salt Lake City to play to a nearly sold-out crowd at The Union! Opened by Summer Salt and Hunny, it was a spectacular show filled with so much energy, infectious indie riffs, and heart-wrenching emo songs. I walked into the venue to see so many young people, indie post-punk fans alike, ready to cause a ruckus. The merch was pretty cool. I firmly believe the smaller indie bands always have better merch designs, anyway.
