George Streetfest returns the first Friday night in October with a reprise performance by Golden Suns, the three-piece indie-rock band that played at Streetfest in July 2015.
Leading up to Golden Suns’ headline performance on the main stage is Utah’s own Misty Frampton at 6:30 p.m. A student at Desert Hills High School, Misty has been busking at Streetfest since March. Demonstrating a friendly sound that echoes in playful harmony with her ukulele, she is a favorite entertainment staple at the monthly Streetfest. Traveling one-man band Tom Bennett follows at the main stage at 7:15 p.m.
The Jazz Garden also elevates a Streetfest busking act to a primetime performance slot Oct. 7, offering Sound & Stone at Ancestor Square Courtyard from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Brothers Bash and Nico began performing at Streetfest in the summer of 2016 and have developed a following of their own. Ages 22 and 24, Bash and Nico say they believe in singing with full heart and great expression.
Streetfest is a nightlife event designed to celebrate the best of Southern Utah held on the first Friday of every month from 6 to 11 p.m., with the Jazz Garden open until midnight April–October.
