Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives August 21, 2001 Eccles Center

The Park City Institue completed its 2021 Summer Series with Country Music Hall of Famer, the great Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives. Marty Stuart is a versatile musician who has played with every great country legend imaginable. He was in Johnny Cash’s touring band and started out touring with Lester Flatt. Through this and many other experiences, Marty has become a legend in his own right. Stuart is an exceptional guitarist and mandolin player. It was so incredible to see him with his great band perform an all-acoustic set in the beautiful Eccles Center in Park City.

Blind Boys of Alabama + North Mississippi Allstars August 22, 2021 Red Butte Garden Amphitheater

Red Butte Concert Series Blind Boys of Alabama & North Mississippi Allstars August 25, 2021

Reviewed By: Vanessa Holt

This last Sunday, the next group of musicians on the lineup for the Red Butte Concert Series was The Blind Boys of Alabama with North Mississippi Allstars. As the doors opened to the amphitheater the crowd was buzzing with excitement for the show. Personally, I had never been to the Red Butte Garden Amphitheater. I didn’t even know that they hosted outdoor concert series. On top of that, I haven’t ever heard of either performer. I made the decision to not listen to their music before the show. I went in with completely zero expectations and was just excited to see how the night went. That was probably the best decision to make because I was not disappointed in the slightest.

Ogden Twilight: The Flaming Lips August 20, 2021 Ogden Amphitheater

On August 20th, Ogden had a very unique performance by artists Wayne Coyne and The Flaming Lips who were accompanied by Angel Magic and the incredible Dan Deacon. Marking their 3rd time in a row playing the Ogden Twilight series, fans packed the amphitheater with excitement to see the group in full force since their last show in 2019. Doors were open at 5 pm but fans were lining up around the block long before the show started.

SLC Twilight: Big Boi August 19, 2021 Gallivan Center

The Twilight Series kicked off its first concert since Covid on Thursday evening with Big Boi, one half of the legendary hip-hop duo Outkast. The Gallivan Center began to fill up about an hour before sunset. Fans walked around checking out various booths, grabbing some food at some of the delicious local vendors, or grabbing a beer before the show.

Watchhouse August 19, 2021 Red Butte Garden Amphitheater

Watchhouse August 19, 2021 Red Butte Garden Amphitheater

The timing of this show couldn’t have been any better. It’s a cold brisk night in Salt Lake City. The perfect company for that is some good Folk/Americana music provided by Watchhouse, formerly known as Mandolin Orange.

Ogden Twilight: Fitz and the Tantrums August 13, 2021 Ogden Amphitheater

Ogden Twilight – Fitz & The Tantrums – August 13, 2021

Review By: Vanessa Holt

Ogden Twilight has always been known as one of those events that are the best way to close out your summer and create memories for the books. It’s been two years since the concert series held their last show. For some people that night it was their first concert back since the world had shut down. For others, it was another show back after attending a few weekends before. Every person who entered that venue was ready to enjoy some good music. People were with their friends filled with excitement to see all the artists live and in action.

Dierks Bentley August 13, 2021 USANA Amphitheater

Review By: Justin Lagman

The Beers On Me Tour kicked off in Salt Lake City, August 13th, 2021 and it was a packed house. It was a beautiful summer night and I was excited to immerse myself in something new. My knowledge of country music and culture is very little. Coming into this I’ve never listened to Dierks Bentley and it was something I was ready to experience.

Ritt Momney August 13, 20201 Utah State Fairpark

Review By: Breanna Downs

When I tell you that I was excited about this concert, it would be a severe understatement. I have been a fan of Ritt Momney for a few years now, and I couldn’t wait to see him perform for the 13th Annual DIY festival in Salt Lake City! The DIY festival was created to cultivate an environment that inspires and promotes local artists. I was impressed with the variety of artists that participated in the festival. I loved the inclusive atmosphere that was provided for each person to display their work.

Joe Bonamassa August 12, 2021 Eccles Theater

Joe Bonamassa August 12, 2021 Eccles Theater

Review By: Katie Barber

With a minute to go until the 8 o’clock showtime, chimes warned the stragglers filtering through security in the Eccles Theater lobby to take their seats. These chimes were more of a guarantee than a warning, as Joe Bonamassa and his band took the stage not a moment past 8:01. Beyond punctual, the all-time #1 Billboard Blues Album record holder has been described as “magical” and “transformational.”

Alan Jackson August 7, 2021 Vivint Arena

It was a big night in Vivint Arena. Not only was Country Music legend, Alan Jackson performing, but it was the first time the arena would be hosting a full capacity, sold-out concert in almost two years. The way everything went, you wouldn’t have guessed it had been that long. Concessions, security, and ushers alike were in top form. It was a great feeling, but still a little odd to see so many people together.
