As summer winds down, so does the Zion Summer Concert Series at the O.C. Tanner Amphitheater. However, the final shows will continue to offer eclectic and engaging entertainment.
Many Miles takes the stage on Aug. 22 to share their brand of improvisational, acoustic rock. Comprised of Dave Tate and Victoria Lagerstrom, Many Miles connects with a wide range of audiences through intimately powerful and varied songwriting and energetic, passionately unique performances.
Joining Many Miles is local favorite, Lyonhead. Fronted by Jared Johnson and Alice Erickson and inspired by the likes of Rival Sons, The Black Keys, and Alabama Shakes, Lyonhead plays their own brand of rock ‘n’ roll.
Saturday, Aug. 29 brings Sam Payne back to southern Utah and the O.C. Tanner Amphitheater. Payne’s arresting stage presence, craftsmanship, and soaring voice have established him as an audience and critic favorite. Payne has brought his stories and songs to concert halls in Canada, Bulgaria, Tokyo, and across the United States. He’s been featured at multiple festivals, including the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival and the Weber Storytelling Festival.
Joining Payne will be bluegrass legend Marty Warburton and the Home Girls. If you enjoy simple acoustic music, a single guitar, a bass fiddle, and good family harmony, you’re in for a treat. Marty Warburton and the Home Girls will make you feel like you’ve been invited into their home for some good company and good music.
The last—but most certainly not least—show of the season will be Ryan Shupe & the Rubber Band on Sept 5. Formed in the mid-1990s in Ogden, this bluegrass band has released several albums and even seen a Top 40 hit with the 2005 release of “Dream Big.”
