Toad the Wet Sprocket brought their Good Intentions 2025 Tour to the beautiful Red Butte Garden Amphitheater on Monday, July 28.  The Jayhawks and 90s contemporaries, Sixpence None the Richer, joined them.  Red Butte Garden Amphitheater was sold out and filled with concertgoers on blankets before the show.  People were eating, drinking, and conversing as the excitement grew for the concert.  Toad the Wet Sprocket frontman, Glen Phillips, last appeared in Utah at the Capitol Theater on a co-headlining acoustic tour with John Craggie.  That was a great night of storytelling and music.  He told us then that he would be back this summer with the band.  I heard a number of people talking about that show and how much they enjoyed it.  They also included how much they were looking forward to seeing the full band on this tour.
