I have been a Weezer fan for as long as I can remember. When it comes to ranking my favorite bands, they come second only to The Beatles. It was actually at a Weezer concert a few years ago that I first felt the desire to become a concert photographer. Just a few months later, I covered my first show. I had no idea just how much one Weezer concert would change my life.

Musical Theater fans in Utah have developed a real affection for Broadway Star, Jessica Vosk. Vosk performed at The Noorda Performing Arts Center on the campus of Utah Valley University in Orem. The venue where Jessica made her Utah debut in February 2023. She returned a year later to perform at Eccles Theater in Salt Lake City with Jeremy Jordan and Kara Lindsay. So within a fairly short period of time she’s grown quite the fanbase. There was a buzz inside The Noorda on September 21. Fans were eager to see what the talented vocalist would bring to this show. Her prior appearances were so entertaining that I’m sure expectations were high. Let’s get this out of the way in the first paragraph, Jessica Vosk did not disappoint.

On October 11th, the Utah First Amphitheatre was treated to night one of three shows by Imagine Dragons. The band is technically from Las Vegas, but we here in Utah know that they wrote many of their early hits and gained a large following here in Utah. More specifically Provo, Utah often performing at Velour Live Music Gallery. From that time on, Utah has been an area that has been most loyal to Imagine Dragons. Hence the multi-show residency.

Returning from a recent five-year hiatus and with fans of all ages anxiously packed into the Grand Room at the Complex, The Fray delivered a perfect emotional alt-rock set that was just what everyone had come for.

Alternative band, more specifically Dream Pop band, Cigarettes After Sex returned to Utah just over a year after they played a sold-out show in Ogden. Cigarettes After Sex was part of the 2023 Ogden Twilight Concert Series lineup. Not only were they part of the lineup, but the show was one of the most anticipated in the series. The show sold out and people were paying a premium on the second-hand market just to get in. While I wasn’t surprised that the band would be returning to Utah soon. I must admit that I did not anticipate them playing the Delta Center. Not only did they play the premier venue, they sold it out!

Last Wednesday, Salt Lake welcomed the lovely John Vincent III to The Commonwealth Room for ‘The Roadtrip’ tour! It has been at least five years since John played in Utah, so it was a treat to have him back. I have loved his music since I discovered him in 2019, and I was stoked to finally see him live. It was also the first attending a show at Commonwealth, and it did not disappoint! It’s a cozy intimate venue with a few bars and an outdoor patio. I arrived just as the show started and was able to get up to the front for an amazing view!

We recently had the opportunity to attend a Lainey Wilson concert out at Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre. It was a fun night filled with the excitement of a Country Music star shooting up into the stratosphere of that genre. This was the biggest tour Lainey had played to date and for many, myself included, it was the first time they had the opportunity to see the fast-rising star. Just a couple of weeks later we had the opportunity to take in a show and see the Country Music world from a different perspective. We stepped into the Sandy Amphitheater to see one of Country Music’s biggest legends, Wynonna Judd.
