Giving Country fans a variety of vocalists and musicians at varying degrees of their careers.  And what would a Keith Urban concert in Utah be without some weather concerns?

Back in January, Collective Soul frontman Ed Roland revealed to the audience at The Union Events Center in downtown Salt Lake City that Collective Soul would be heading on tour for the summer with their contemporaries, the band Live.  The crowd reacted much the same as I did, excited and already anticipating what that tour would be like.  They were joined by Our Lady Peace on what has been titled, “The Summer Unity Tour.”  It was another hot night at Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre, but fans of the late 90s early 2000s showed up to see these bands do their thing.

There are certain moments in my life when I can point to a specific moment when I first heard a song or a band.  I’ll never forget the day I was introduced to Incubus.  A good friend of mine told me that he discovered this band. He was infatuated with them. Growing up about ten minutes away from Calabassas, California, where Incubus is from, I think we had an extra affinity towards them.  We knew where they signed their record deal. Or at least where they were rumored to have signed.  It was a Red Robin.  Don’t tell me if it isn’t true.  Because even now, when I drive by that restaurant, I tell people, “That’s where Incubus signed their record deal.” I’d prefer to keep saying that. Some of my friends were in art class in middle school and high school with these guys.

Country Music singer, Cody Johnson, brought his “Leather Deluxe Tour” to Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre on Saturday, Jun 28, 2025.  He brought Wade Bowen and Mae Estes along with him.  The last time we covered CoJo was back in February 2020, just weeks before the world shut down due to the pandemic.  He was opening for Country Music superstar Miranda Lambert at the Delta Center in downtown Salt Lake City.  I remember enjoying his energetic performance.  He set the bar high for Miranda, and it made for a great night of Country Music.

There’s something so cool about seeing a musician along the journey of their career go from supporting other artists on their tours to headlining their own tour.  I was happy for Cody Johnson that his career has gone the way it’s gone.  He not only brought his headlining tour to one of Utah’s largest concert venues, but he sold the place out!  I’ve said this before, and I’ll most likely say it every time I attend a Country concert, but there is nothing like the vibe at this type of show.  People were in great spirits. Everyone seemed to be having a good time.  And this was in between sets!  I’m sure you can imagine what it was like when the music was actually being played.  I was happy to be at Utah First Amp for this show.

There are just some shows that are more anticipated than others.  Mumford & Sons was that show for me.  It had been six years since the guys had played Utah.  This would be my first opportunity to review and photograph one of my favorite bands. It seemed very clear inside Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre that I was not the only one eagerly anticipating this concert.  We had waited long enough, and now we were all getting to experience the North American Tour promoting the release of “Rushmere”.

Growing up listening to emo rock music, there were many bands to choose from. Though the catalog was stacked, two bands made absolute magic every time they were played together: Pierce the Veil and Sleeping with Sirens. This summer at Utah First Credit Union Amphitheater (UFCU Amphitheater), we got to see both of these bands reunite on stage for a fantastic and mind-blowing show.
