Last week, Salt Lake welcomed Falling In Reverse to Utah First Credit Union on their The Popular Monstour Tour! Supported by Tech N9ne, Black Veil Brides, and Dance Gavin Dance, it was definitely a punk-rock party to remember! Most of the crowd was decked out in merch from all of the artists of the night. This was my first time photographing at Usana and I was really pumped to capture such a great show! I spotted my aunt and cousin at the barricade and met some really nice people in the pit! On top of seeing each of these artists for the first time, it was also the first time I’ve shot at this venue! It was all around a great experience.

There are only a few bands that truly scratch an itch in my brain, and Khruangbin. and Peter Cat Recording Co. do just that. Spending an evening with three psychedelic geniuses, paired with a band from India that delivers a seamlessly cohesive musical experience, was a treat I was going to savor.

This last week, the musical group Pink Martini made their way to Salt Lake City, Utah to celebrate 30 years of music with all in attendance at Red Butte Garden. Those lucky enough to be in the crowd were treated to a lively and exciting multicultural night of music and dancing. As the clock stuck 7:00 and with no accompanying supporting group, Pink Martini, backlit with pink skies, made their way to the stage. Cheers and screams let the band know they were in the presence of fans.
