On Saturday, June 1st, Parachute made their Utah tour stop at The Depot in Downtown Salt Lake City! I personally have loved Parachute since I was 15 years old.  I had never seen them before so I was stoked to finally get to see the Charlottesville Virginia based band for the first time in concert. I love their upbeat and fun style of music.  I couldn’t wait to see what type of show they would put on.

The Depot has always been one of my favorite venues so I’m always excited when I find out a band is performing there.  It was a great fit for this show! As for attendance, I felt like the room was completely packed from front to back. I was surprised when I heard that The Depot wasn’t sold out.  I heard the same thing when I coverd Walk Off the Earth. It was so packed in there I don’t know how it wasn’t a sellout!

Parachute performed beautifully throughout the night and brought so much energy. One of my favorite songs from Parachute is “Can’t Help”.  I might be biased but to me, that was the best song of the night. They also played other popular songs like “Jennie”, “Something to Believe In”, and “Kiss Me Slowly”.  Each and every one of those performances were insanely good! The crowd seemed to be having a good time. There was a good mix of teenagers and adults and it seemed like everyone danced and sang the night away.

My favorite part of the show was hearing how highly lead singer, Will Anderson spoke of Salt Lake City. He mentioned that there was a different energy from any other show. Anderson expressed how he was always so excited to perform in Salt Lake every year because it has been his favorite for many years.

As I mentioned, The Depot was a fantastic venue to host this concert. They do very well with sound and the lighting looks great in there.  When the sound and lighting are it makes for a really fun atmosphere to be in. You never want to leave! Unfortunately, once Parachute came out and played “Lonely With Me” for their encore, it was time to go.  The Depot will forever be one of my favorite venues to attend.

This show was so memorable for me.  To finally get to see a band I’ve loved for years in one of my favorite venues was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Parachute truly brought the energy that I had expected them to. I hope to see them back in Utah in the near future.  And judging by how much Will Anderson loves it here, they’ll be back really soon!
