Cure your end of summer blues with a dose of summer music at these upcoming events that are open to the public.
Have you noticed that it’s been a bit cooler the last week or so? Mother Nature seems to be dropping a hint that summer’s about over. If you’re not ready for the end of summer, we’re with you. At Utah Live Bands we love the summer because it gives so many of our musicians and entertainers the opportunity to perform at summer music events. The summer of 2016 saw many of our bands playing in outdoor concert series, city celebrations, and holiday happenings.
But summer’s not quite over and it’s not too late to check out some of our bands. Why not enjoy the last days of summer by taking in some live music at these open-to-the-public events?

The award-winning party band the Groove Merchants will be providing the live music this year and it’s sure to be a great time. The event starts at 8 pm.
9/30 Black Moon Viewing at Snowbasin’s Needles Lodge featuring the Cantina Band
What do you do at a ski resort in the summer? All kinds of fun stuff, including some astronomy. If star-gazing is totally your thing, then take a trip up to the Needles Lodge for some fabulous dark sky viewing made possible by the Lodge’s 9000 feet altitude. Telescopes from the Ogden Astronomical Society will be available to aid in taking in the “Black Moon” and other star and galaxy viewing. Our fabulous Star Wars themed Cantina Band will be on hand to provide some out-of-this-world mood music. There’s even a costume contest so be sure to turn out in your best “Martian” look. The event runs from 6:45 to 10:15. There is a charge for the gondola ride up to the Lodge. Check out the web site for more details.
Summer may end, but the summer music can play all year long with Utah Live Bands. We’d love to bring the summer back to your event. Contact us to find out what we can do for your next event.
