Live Blues

Wow, what a triumvirate of blues, blues/rock titans!  

Blues rock titan Joe Bonamassa returns to SLC, always electifying.  THIS SHOW IS RE-SCHEDULED FOR 7/24/21!

Living blues guitar legend and link to Chicago's heyday of electric blues. Kennedy Center Honoree, Presidential National Medal of Arts recipient, Blue and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, multi GRAMMY winner, what more needs to be said.  Together with a legend in the making, Jonny Lang.  A double bill not to be missed.  THIS SHOW IS CANCELLED, NO WORD ON ANY RE-SCHEDULING OF IT EITHER.

2 awesome local blues based bands for less than the price of 1!  In the safe confines of Barbary Coast, who limits capacity. 

Come check out former local boy Tony Holiday, safely touring in support of his critically acclaimed release, "Soul Service."  Michelle Moonshine opens.  More info here

Catch this Belgian phenom on vocals/guitar/percussion/drums in her one woman band show at Lake Effect.  

Don't miss this killer one woman band from Belgium, now in New Orleans.  Ice Haus features awesome healthy food too (lots of vegan options even). Utah's own one man band, Jacob T. Skeen opens at 9 p.m.

After killing it on NBC's The Voice, Utah's prodigal son JMY returns home to roost! He now lives in Austin so don't miss this rare opportunity to welcome him back home - we're proud of you Jordan!!

Fresh off his amazing third place finish on NBC's The Voice, Jordan returns to his roots for a special high altitude show at beautiful Sundance Resort.

Very cool little blues fest in beautiful Torrey, UT with two of Utah's best blues bands: the acoustic blues of "Better Off With The Blues" AND electric blues with "Olive & the Alleycats"!

Rollicking blues and blues rock from local faves Olive & the Alley Cats with new vocalist Olivia Arnold.  

5 time Grammy winner and blues legend returns to Park City with his crack band, sharing their signature sound which blends blues with everything from pop to gospel. 

Blues rock guitar event of the year! Don't miss. (Note that this is re-scheduled from the former date of 7/24/21).  This WILL sell out, and may do so sooner rather than later, especially since there's so few shows booked in SLC this summer.

Olive & the Alleycats kick off the blues from 11 a.m.- 1 p.m. and Eric Heideman starts around 1:30.  

The Blind Boys of Alabama are a downright religious experience. Their inspiring gospel blues are a must-see. The raw, rootsy blues of the hill country inspired Dickinson brothers and the North Mississippi Allstars is a perfect opener. 

IT'S 5 P.M. DAY OF SHOW AND THEY JUST RELEASED A FEW MORE $85 G.A. TIX SO GET EM WHILE THEY LAST!!! https://www.etix.com/ticket/v/16193/red-butte-garden?country=US&language=en&_ga=2.74592667.867796398.1629759651-1382427244.1629759651

Make no mistake, ZZ Top ain't nothin' but a BLUES band and they'd be the first to acknowledge that - so enjoy if you were one of the lucky ones to score tickets for this SOLD OUT show! 

(Our condolences for the passing of founding bassist Dusty Hill on 7/27/21 but the show will go on, as Dusty would've wanted).
