“It made me feel hopeful. It makes me happy that young people are still putting themselves out there as artists. Not enough people are doing that.”

Meet the performers
Hey, you! Do you like Indie, Alternative, and/or Emo? Do you like bands with gay people? Do you like streets? If you said yes to one or more of these, then you’d love our band, Ivy Avenue! A new and upcoming band from Salt Lake City. Featuring Kass, with her vivacious vocals and radical rhythm guitar. Gibby, with his visionary voice and legendary lead guitar. Meg, with their dynamic drumming and Trevor, with his breathtaking bass. Playing together for over two years, Ivy Avenue has played over 15 different venues throughout Utah with music out on all streaming platforms. Support local bands <3
Miss Margaret is an alternative indie group from Salt Lake City, Utah made up of four friends, Finn (drums), Tree (guitar/vocals), Annukka (bass/vocals), and Noelle (guitar/vocals).
We’re Scratch the Record, an upcoming indie band based in the Salt Lake City area. We’re composed of a bunch of kooky friends who got together with a spark of ambition to create music. The band originated from a joke, however, that joke clearly got taken too seriously because we’re here!
We are Slugghead, formed by the siblings Nalei and Soul. Slugghead began one night while waiting for our parents to get back from the bar. We play musical chairs with our instruments, and our sound is often inspired from the artists we grew up on. We never stick to one genre, cause it’s so much more fun to explore. Our main goal is to have fun making music and getting people to dance.
