On a chilly February night in downtown Salt Lake City, indie-pop artist Del Water Gap, the stage name of S. Holden Jaffe, brought his Chasing the Chimera World Tour to The Depot. The sold-out show was a clear sign to Del Water Gap that Utah has been anxiously awaiting his return. As the crowd funneled into the iconic and historic brick facade, a palpable buzz filled the air. A mix of anticipation, excitement, and an overall sense of community suggested that the night would be filled with one of the best performances of the year.

“My name is Leon Thomas, and I like to dance.” 

Standing before what looked like a sold-out audience at The Depot last Thursday, R&B sensation Leon Thomas turned to the crowd to offer a brief introduction before launching into his performance. The succinct greeting was a reminder that, to many, Leon Thomas is not an artist needing an introduction. While the New York native has steadily gained traction online since the release of his debut album Electric Dust, he is no stranger to the spotlight. Thomas got his first start as Tyrone in Backyardigans, a familiar show to most kids who grew up in the 2000s. He then continued his tenure in children’s TV, playing a sentimental, loyal character named Andre Harris in Nickelodeon’s Victorious. Now, Leon is celebrating the release of his Grammy-clad album Mutt on tour, joined by fellow R&B singer Ambré.

Utah can sometimes feel like a strange stop on a national tour, especially from an outside perspective. It could be easy to assume Utah is just a quiet religious community that keeps things relatively tame, and that concert audiences would mirror that. But, as the real artists know, Salt Lake City is the complete opposite. Just under three years ago, an up-and-coming artist built a fan base from a small show in the city. So this last Friday, when King Princess rolled into The Depot, she knew what she was getting herself into. She was coming back to “some of the wildest fans” she had ever been around.

Last week, I had the pleasure of photographing BØRNS as they made their stop in Salt Lake City on their Decade of Dopamine tour! This album, surpassing 10 years, is crazy; it was such an integral part of my early teen years! They played in the heart of downtown at The Depot, one of my favorite venues in the city. It was a sold-out show. Packed with young and grown fans, most of whom have been listening to this band for 10 years!

Everyone was dressed their best, some even in Halloween costumes, as the show was just a few days before then! I was very excited to see him for the first time, and I was taken by surprise that it was the anniversary tour of Dopamine! I sat in front of the stage, eager, just like the rest of the room, to be taken back to a nostalgic and happy time!

On April 12, 2025, Larkin Poe brought their electrifying Bloom Tour to The Depot in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Nashville-based roots rock band, led by sisters Rebecca and Megan Lovell, delivered a powerful performance filled with grit, soul, and sisterly chemistry that left a lasting impression on the crowd. The Depot, with its intimate setting and top-tier production, was the perfect venue for a show that was equal parts heartfelt and high-energy. I’ve photographed a lot of shows at The Depot. It’s one of my favorite spots. The security team and entire staff are always awesome, and it really does feel like every show there is special.

Friday nights are always a sacred time of the week. It’s the beginning of the weekend, and for most people, it can be the end of a long and hard week. On the night of March 28th, this particular Friday night, the place to be was at The Depot to catch Saint Motel on their Symphony in the Sky tour. With a sold-out show and plenty of fans lining up early to get into the show, there were already signs of this being a fantastic show before the doors even opened. Once doors opened at 7 PM sharp, it wasn’t long until the venue was completely filled. This was going to be a night to remember.
