Whether he’s hitting a dive bar to hear a hot new band or playing with the pretty people at events far too classy to admit him if he didn’t work for Salt Lake magazine, you’ll read about it here.

Check in regularly for tips on worthwhile nocturnal activities, concert reviews and one-of-a-kind commentary from our resident pop culture-obsessed music geek and social gadfly.
