KSL Hires PowerPlay Productions


KSL has hired PowerPlay Productions to assist in producing the KSL/BYU Football Tailgate Parties to be held across Utah Valley the day before each of 6 Cougar home games this Fall. The first is scheduled to take place Friday September 2, before the Cougars take on Boston College in their season opener. The party will be held at Macey's in Provo- the event is free, and will include various activities along with some good (probably loud) music.

If you are a local musician and would like to present your recorded music for consideration, send email to kslparty@powerplay-dj.com.

We look forward to seeing you there.

From a Castle on The Hill



I didn't know anything like it existed in Salt Lake, but Friday we made a trip to scout out where we would be performing for the Drake-Stewart wedding. Through the wrought iron fence and down the winding driveway was a castle belonging to the SLC Executive Director of Community and Economic Development. The place was incredible, with a view to match.

Music selection for this one was pretty original-- a mixture of Jack Johnson, Donovan Frankenreiter, G. Love, Wayne Wonder, Sean Paul, Outkast, Luther Vandross and others, which suprisingly all meshed together really well. The wedding and reception were gret- celebrity attendees included the likes of Dave Newbold of Richter7, and Joe "Joey" Britton. Joey even took over the controls long enough to throw down some Elliot Smith and Flaming Lips.

As the reception ended, fireworks exploded over the city with the perfect view- from a castle on the hill. Congrats to Holly and Travis, you guys rock.


Other News- The Howie Day and Anna Nalick concert at the Capitol Theater on Thursday was pretty good. If you're looking for some new music, check out Missy Higgins. She's a mellow Aussie that made for an impressive opening act for the concert.
