Why Utah? Volume 2: Summer Rocks! (Literally)

If you’re anything like us, a Utah summer isn’t complete without music. And no, we’re not just talking about the summer anthem playing on every radio station that you can’t get out of your head. We’re talking about sunshine, fresh air, and jamming out to your favorite live band with your squad. With everything from outdoor music festivals and open air concerts to headlining tours…Utah has you covered.

What does this have to do with real estate, you ask? Well, if you’re an avid music lover who loves spending time outdoors with family and friends, then everything! You want to put down stakes in a community that fits your lifestyle and speaks to your interests. And whether you’re belting out lyrics in the front row at an 80’s rock concert, nodding your head along to beats at Reggae Fest or discovering a new indie-folk sound tucked away in the Wasatch mountains, there really is something for everyone — if you know where to look.

So what do you say…summer and music? Yes please! Check out some of our favorite locales.

Twilight Concert Series – Put on by the Salt Lake City Arts Council, this series has become a popular Thursday night tradition during the summer months of July and August in downtown SLC. Featuring artists like Lupe Fiasco, Kid Cudi, Death Cab for Cutie and Empire of the Sun, and at only $5/ticket, it draws the attention of the young (and young at heart!) Click here for this summer’s remaining lineup and info on how to purchase tickets.

Red Butte Garden Outdoor Concert Series – At the heart of any Utah summer is a pack of tickets to the concerts at Red Butte Garden. Presenting several ‘blast from the past’ performances in its 2016 summer concert lineup (Blondie, Culture Club and Tears for Fears) along with newer artists (The Lumineers and Grace Potter). Awesome, right? Tickets are offered to Red Butte members first and often sell out before they hit the public — so we recommend purchasing a membership if you decide to go this route. (Bonus: you can visit the gardens year-round and get ticket discounts!) Here’s the full lineup.

Sundance Bluebird Cafe Concert Series – The Bluebird Cafe Concert Series features Nashville’s renowned singers, songwriters, and musicians. Sundance Mountain Resort partnered with the original Bluebird Cafe in Nashville ‘to bring a taste of musical storytelling to Utah.’ On the lineup this summer? Hit singer/songwriters like Amy Grant, Vince Gill and Ashley Gorley to name of few. The Bluebird Cafe Barbecue starts at 6 p.m. prior to each show, so get there early to get your grub on!

Park City Summer Concert Series – This free, outdoor series is held on the Mountain Stage at Canyons Village on select Saturdays through September 3rd. Performances feature a variety of genres and bands including The Wailers, Bright Light Social Hour and Robert Ellis & The Perfect Strangers. Guests are welcome to bring their own blankets and picnics while they enjoy the summer sun and music! The full lineup of concert dates and and performers can be found here.

Snowbird Cool Air Concert Series – Jam out on the Plaza Deck to top local and national bands every Saturday until August 6th. Free to the public, the series features indie-folk, bluegrass and soul-funk artists like Band of Heathens, Sister Sparrow & The Dirty Birds, and The Deslondes. You can grab a bite to eat at The Birdfeeder and Forklift Patio, or you can pack your own cooler with your favorite concert snacks and beverages to share with friends. Check out this summer’s remaining lineup!

USANA Amphitheatre – USANA Ampitheatre is an outdoor amphitheatre located in Utah’s West Valley City. If you’re looking for big-name, headlining acts, then this is your place. This summer’s concert series features big name country artists like Florida Georgia Line and Luke Bryan, classic rock bands like Journey and Def Leppard and pop-rock bands 5 Seconds of Summer and Blink 182. The amphitheater has also played host to music festivals including the X96 Big Ass Show, Reggae Fest and the Uproar Festival. It’s a summer must-do!

Hey there, future homeowner! So, you're diving into the wild world of real estate, huh? Exciting times ahead! 🏡 But hold up – before you pop the champagne, let's talk about something crucial: choosing your title company. Now, who gets to decide on this? Spoiler alert: it's you! Sure, your real estate agent or lender might throw a few suggestions your way, but ultimately, the choice is yours. So, let's make it count! First things first, do some snooping around. Check out different title companies online, ask your pals for recommendations, and see what vibes with you. You want someone reliable, experienced, and who's got your back, no matter what. Oh, and don't be shy – ask questions! Seriously, grill them like you're on a first date. How long have they been in the game? What's their process like? And most importantly, can they handle your quirks and concerns like a champ? Remember, this isn't just about paperwork – it's about peace of mind. Your home sweet home is a big deal, so choose a title company that feels like the perfect fit. Trust me, it'll make all the difference when it's time to pop those keys in the door!

February is not just about Valentine's Day chocolates and romantic gestures; it's also about spreading love and kindness to those who need it most. And boy, did we have an amazing time doing just that with our February Giveback! This month, we teamed up with the incredible For The Kids nonprofit to make a difference in the lives of children in our community. And let us tell you, it was a heartwarming experience from start to finish. First things first, our team rolled up their sleeves and dove straight into action. We spent a day volunteering, packing a whopping 100 meals to be delivered to those in need. The joy of knowing that these meals would bring smiles to the faces of children warmed our hearts in ways we can't even describe. But we didn't stop there! Oh no, we were just getting started. With our sleeves still rolled up and our spirits soaring, our very own Joe packed the truck with all those delicious deliveries for that Friday. The excitement was palpable as we imagined the happiness these meals would bring to families across our community. And guess what? Our amazing supporters rallied behind us in full force! Through their generosity, we collected over 100 additional items to donate to For The Kids. From canned goods to pantry staples, every single donation meant the world to us and to those we're helping. As we reflect on our February Giveback journey, we can't help but feel overwhelmingly grateful. Grateful for the opportunity to make a difference. Grateful for the support of our community. And most of all, grateful for the chance to spread love in every way we can. It's worth mentioning that our dedication to For The Kids goes way back – we supported their mission back in 2021, and we're committed to continuing this beautiful partnership for years to come. To everyone who volunteered, donated, or simply cheered us on from the sidelines – thank you. Thank you for believing in the power of kindness. Thank you for joining us on this incredible journey. Together, we're making the world a brighter, happier place, one meal and one smile at a time.
