GENTRI’s 10th Anniversary Christmas Tour arrived at Eccles Theater in downtown Salt Lake City with the kind of polish, heart, and theatrical sweep that has defined the trio since their earliest days, but there’s an added sense of celebration this time. An awareness that a decade of work has shaped them into performers who know exactly who they are and what their audience wants. The show feels like both a milestone and a love letter to the fans. Those who have followed them, to the craft they’ve sharpened, and to the cinematic-pop style they’ve spent ten years refining.

Ziggy Marley played a groovy set, playing a mix of his own original songs and the familiar reggae hits of his father Bob Marley. Burning Spear literally warmed up the crowd with their distinctive rhythms that brought nearly everyone to their feet to start moving to their Rasta beats. Everyone enjoyed the grooves, crisp fall air, beautiful sunset, and the positive vibes at Sandy Amphitheater.

It was the final show for the season at Sandy Amphitheater. We have thoroughly enjoyed covering concerts at Sandy Amp. It’s one of our favorite summertime venues, and we can’t wait to get back there in the spring.

Quinn XCII stopped by at the America First Field on October 3rd with Allen Stone for his LOOK! I’m Alive Tour. I was excited to cover this show, not only because of Quinn XCII and Allen Stone but also because I haven’t photographed there before. The stage was on the east side of the stadium. It was outdoors and had an amazing view of the mountains in the background.

Over the last few years, we have had a great run of Broadway Stars in concert here in Utah.  We’ve had amazing vocalists such as Jeremy Jordan, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Jessica Vosk, Ben Platt,  Kara Lindsay, Kristin Chenoweth, Bernadette Peters, and, of course, just last month, Sutton Foster and Kelli O’Hara. Utah loves musical theater and its stars.  Anticipation was as high as I’ve ever seen it for Tony Award-winner Aaron Tveit.  He performed a sold-out show at the SCERA Shell Outdoor Theatre in Orem with the Utah Valley Orchestra.

One of Utah’s favorites, Jake Scott, joined by MaRynn Taylor, returned to Salt Lake City on Thursday, July 31st, for his Live in ‘25 Tour! Fans of all ages flooded The Union Events Center, excited for his return to Salt Lake City!

This show was a fun one to have on my roster because I think I’ve photographed and reviewed every one of Jake Scott’s shows in Utah up until this point! From opening up for Ben Rector, his own show, his album release concert, and even his surprise appearance at Russell Dickerson’s concert this past April – I’ve been there! He’s now the artist I’ve photographed the most, so it was an honor to be there to cover the show!

Last week at The Union Event Center, Foster the People played a loooong-awaited headline show on their Paradise State of Mind tour, returning to Salt Lake City after 7 years! I was really stoked to see them for the first time! They’ve been a staple band for me since I was in middle school, and I know many people who attended were probably also seeing them for the first time. They just released their 4th album last summer, ‘Paradise State of Mind’. This one is such a feel-good, psychedelic, and pure Foster the People-sounding record.
