When you think of early 2010s pop music, there are some big names that come to mind, with Kesha being one of the biggest. Getting to see her live at Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre in West Valley City, Utah, felt like opening up a time capsule from 16 years ago, and it didn’t disappoint. Kesha paid a visit here on her Freedom tour, and with supporting acts from Sizzy Rocket and Chromeo, the entire concert was set to be a raging fun time.

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.

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.
