01. Focus on Utah Artists

We prioritize working with Utah artists, including those who have lived here for extended periods, even if they no longer reside in the state.

02. Diverse Musical Styles Preferred

We embrace a wide range of musical styles, including Jazz, Classical, Celtic, Folk, Broadway, Cabaret, Big Band, Country, Mariachi, and more. While we’re less focused on rock and pop, we do make exceptions.

03. We Pay Musicians

Our priority is to compensate musicians fairly. Payment is typically made at the end of the performance with one check to the bandleader, who is responsible for equitable distribution. Any concerns regarding payment should be directed to us.

04. 90-Minute Concert Expectations

We usually expect a 90-minute set. If an intermission is desired, plan for two 45-minute sets. However, continuous play is often preferred.

05. Partnered Venues & Pro-Level Production

We collaborate with community partners and provide professional sound and lighting, often through our long-time production partner, Taylor Audio.

06. Excellence in Presentation

Professionalism in appearance, performance, and interaction is key. Your performance should embody excellence in every aspect.

07. Earn Repeat Engagements

Deliver a performance so outstanding that we’ll want to book you repeatedly. We’re serious about quality and expect the same from our artists.

08. Experience the Power of Live Music

Your performance should help us bring people together, enriching lives through the emotional power of live music.

09. Family-Friendly Free Concerts

Since 2012, nearly all our events have been free, with children in attendance. Expect a diverse and appreciative audience.

10. Gratitude & Community Spirit

We’re deeply grateful to the musicians, sponsors, partners, and audiences that make our events possible. We’re passionate about our work and hope you are too.

11. Streamlined Booking Process

We typically don’t use individual contracts. Instead, we prefer a clear email or text trail outlining essential details for easy reference.
