Super Summer Music Primer
While winter is wonderful here in the mountains, summer is the time to relax and recharge, and there’s no better way than with outdoor live music! We’ve compiled our annual summer concert primer with shows listed by venue, and hope you’ll find it useful as you navigate the expansive live music opportunities that abound throughout the Wasatch Back and throughout the Salt Lake Valley this season. We’ve also created this version to print off for future reference.
