Peter Breinholt is one of the most reliably beloved performers in the region, and became so largely through word-of-mouth. His debut record, a collection of songs he released as a student at the University of Utah, became the best-selling independently released CD ever in the state of Utah and was eventually described by Salt Lake Magazine as “an underground classic”. Peter has also performed for countless sold out crowds in every major concert hall in the region, including Kingsbury Hall, Tuacahn and Sundance. Governor Gary Herbert recently honored Peter with the Governor’s Mansion Lifetime Achievement Award for his enduring influence as a songwriter and performer.
Tonight’s concert is also part of Tooele City’s week-long 4th of July Celebration!

Ryan Shupe is roaring back with “We Rode On”, his new album coming the first part of 2016. “We Rode On” marks a striking career transition and a meaningful evolution in Shupe’s songwriting, his life, and the band’s sound. It strongly and deftly combines the rock side of their musical arsenal with the acoustic instruments and virtuosic jamming the band has become known for in their live shows. Like a mad musical scientist (and father/husband), Ryan Shupe recorded, arranged and tweaked the band’s newest creation in his personal studio. “I wanted to create a new sound and an evolution for the band’s music” said Shupe, “It’s the best album we’ve done and definitely the most rocking!” Being a 5th generation fiddler, an accomplished electric guitar, acoustic guitar and mandolin player, Shupe has been touring extensively across the US since he was 10 years old.
