You know that a show is good when you leave feeling like you just had a heart-to-heart with a friend. That’s exactly what Ashe gave Salt Lake City on Saturday night. From the moment her backlit silhouette emerged through the fog on stage, she had the whole room locked in with her captivating presence, voice, and vulnerability.

All the way from New York, Bayside is a rock band that is celebrating 25 years of being a band. Playing over 50 different songs over the course of two days, I was lucky enough to catch day one of their show live at The Depot. With a line out the door, the fans were not quite aware just how much of a great show they were in for that night, and as the doors opened at around 6:30 pm, it was showtime.

Summer is here.  The warmer weather means more concerts.  There are so many shows coming to Utah this summer and anticipation is high for so many of them.  It’s one thing to get excited about seeing one of your favorite bands come to Utah.  It’s another thing when that band was scheduled to play almost a year ago and had to cancel.  That was the case with Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark, or OMD.

There’s something undeniably magical about summer nights at Kilby Court, like an electric and hazy feel that settles in as the sun goes down. I was reminded of that magic at West 22nd’s show on Saturday night. 

The Austin-based indie rock band finally made their long-awaited stop in Salt Lake City as part of their Nowhere To Be tour. They took the stage and played a show that was sweaty, loud, and perfect in a way only a summer concert in a tiny, authentic venue can be. With the crowd pressed close under the stage lights and guitars echoing off of the graffiti-covered walls, it seemed like one of those nights that feels like pure summer.

KHRUANGBIN performed at the opening show of the Ogden Twilight Concert Series on June 1st. John Carroll Kirby would join the trio and open the show. The Ogden Twilight series is an annual summer music event held in Ogden, Utah at the Ogden Amphitheater. Walking into the amphitheater one of the first things that I noticed were the food trucks and merch booth that were full of lines. I was excited to photograph here because it’s another event center I’ve never been to.
