Guitar virtuoso Alastair Greene has artfully managed a dynamic solo career while contributing to the music of notable artists such as Grammy-winner Alan Parsons and soul blues Grammy nominee Sugaray Rayford. Greene’s latest release, STANDING OUT LOUD, is a commanding declaration poised to solidify his position as a seasoned veteran in the blues rock world.

There’s something about Tony Holiday that draws people together. In fact, community has been at the core of Holiday’s young career from the beginning. Since relocating from Salt Lake City to Memphis in 2017, Holiday has been at the center of a soul blues revival in Memphis, anchored by a contingent of young, savvy well-schooled musicians with a “family-like” attitude and a strong belief in one another.

Live at the Eccles presents KENNY WAYNE SHEPHERD BAND: AN EVENING WITH KENNY WAYNE SHEPHERD AND BOBBY RUSH 

Born Troy Andrews, Trombone Shorty got his start (and nickname) earlier than most: at four, he made his first appearance at Jazz Fest performing with Bo Diddley; at six, he was leading his own brass band; and by his teenage years, he was hired by Lenny Kravitz to join the band he assembled for his Electric Church World Tour. Shorty’s proven he’s more than just a horn player, though. Catch a gig, open the pages of the New York Times or Vanity Fair, flip on any late-night or morning TV show and you’ll see an undeniable star with utterly magnetic charisma, a natural born showman who can command an audience with the best of them.

The Utah Blues Society (UBS) again presents the 9th Annual Utah Blues Festival (UBF) at The GallivanCenter, Friday, June 27, and Saturday, June 28.  Friday’s headliners include the opener, guitarist and vocalist Wayne Baker Brooks out of Chicago – hisbrother Ronnie Baker Brooks has played the UBF twice but this is Wayner’s UBF debut! Carolyn Wonderland also makes her UBF debut after having played at various Utah venues for over 30 years. Also on vocals and guitar is a returnee to the UBF from 2017, Louisiana’s finest, Kenny Neal, the evening’s final headliner.

Saturday starts off at noon with the UBF Youth Blues Band, sponsored by On Track Music. Their debut in kicking off last year’s UBF was a surprise sleeper event of the weekend, making it well worth the effort for the early birds. Talia Keys & the Love follow, with their strong Utah following and blues inspired music. 2023IBC (International Blues Challenge) winner, the young Mathias Lattin out of Houston then takes the stage with his fresh, contemporary blues stylings on vocals and guitar. Another debut UBF headliner, not to be missed, is the soulful blues of the Blackburn Brothers out of Canada. Another alumnus of the UBF, Rick Estrin & the Nightcats follow, having played the 4th Annual 2018 UBF, as did the closer, rocking blues guitarist and vocalist Ana Popovic.
