Phoenix • May 16, 2024 • Ogden Amphitheater
Reviewed and Photographed by Kevin Rolfe
Concerts have officially moved outdoors! I can’t explain how much I love the feeling of the first outdoor concert of the year. It means that not only is the weather warming up, but that we’re in for a great run of outdoor concerts, and festivals. It was a perfect evening in Ogden as we commenced with the first show of the Ogden Twilight Concert Series of 2024. French Indie Rock band, Phoenix seemed very fitting as the series opener. Last year, Beck embarked on his Summer Oddessy Tour with Phoenix as his support. When Beck made his stop at Ogden Twilight, the show was more of an intimate acoustic set. Because of this, Phoenix wasn’t in the lineup. So while we had to wait a bit, it was worth it to finally see them grace the Ogden Amphitheater stage for the very first time.

Feid is a Colombian singer-songwriter and producer. He’s achieved success worldwide and has worked with artists such as Bad Bunny and Karol G. The Latin Grammy nominee brought his FERXXOCALIPSIS Tour to the Delta Center on February 15. I must admit that I had only heard of Feid, but was not well versed in his music. That being said, I was told that I was in for an entertaining evening. I was looking forward to seeing what the Urbana Latin music star was all about and what this tour looked like. Turns out I was in for quite the evening.

Jade Bird • Halley Greg • May 2, 2024 • The State Room
Reviewed and Photographed by Morgan Newbold
Earlier this month, in the heart of Salt Lake City, Jade Bird graced the stage in a quaint intimate venue called The State Room. If you’ve never been there, It’s a charming theatre with a decently sized floor and layered seating. Above the center of the room, hangs a giant mirrorball. When I walked in, I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the room and stage. It wasn’t too stuffy, but cozy. For a show that wasn’t completely sold out, I had plenty of room to shoot from anywhere. I was excited to be here, not only for the first time but to shoot at a new venue. I’m always worried about the lighting of small venues, but I had no issues here. AND I had a mirror ball to add a touch of flare to these glowy shots I was about to get.
