4th of July Celebrations

The 2024 Theme for this year's 4th of July celebration is "Star Spangled Summer".

John Curwen, Grand Marshal
"Star Spangled Summer"

We are excited to announce John Curwen as this year’s Tooele City 4^th of July Parade Grand Marshal. We are honored to recognize and thank John for his many years of service and dedication to our country and local community.

John is a dedicated and accomplished community member with an extensive background in public service, firefighting, and military service. Over several decades, he has made substantial contributions to various organizations and committees, exemplifying his dedication to service, leadership, and community engagement. 

John served in the US Navy from 1969 to 1973, where he distinguished himself aboard the USS Ranger CVA-61 during the Vietnam War. This early military experience instilled a strong sense of duty and discipline that has guided John throughout his career.

In 1980, John joined the Tooele City Fire Department, where he is the longest-serving, active member for 44 years. During his tenure, John has held various positions, including Fire Chief from 2002 to 2003. His leadership and dedication have been instrumental in advancing the department's mission and ensuring the community’s safety. 

In addition to his volunteer service with the fire department, John was a volunteer with the Tooele County Search & Rescue for 10 years, serving as Commander in 1983. This role further highlights John's commitment to public safety and his ability to lead and coordinate critical rescue operations.

John has also made significant contributions to the arts and cultural community through his 20 years of volunteer service on the Tooele Arts Festival Committee. His involvement helped to promote and enhance culture and art in our community, providing valuable support to local artists and events.

John spent his career working at Tooele Army Depot where he retired after 41 years of service. As Chief of Moral, Welfare, and Recreation, he was responsible for taking care of soldiers' needs during their stay at Tooele Army Depot. He has the utmost respect for our military and always strived to exceed the expectations of all local and visiting military and civilians.

Currently, John is serving as the Treasurer for the Utah Museum of Fire Service History & Firefighter Memorial Foundation. In this role, John continues to support the preservation of firefighting history and the commemoration of the bravery and sacrifices of firefighters.

John has lived in Tooele since the age of five years old, with the exception of his time in the Navy. With a rich history of service and leadership, John remains a respected and influential figure in our community, dedicated to making a positive impact and inspiring others through his unwavering commitment to service.

John is married to Tina Curwen. They have been together for over 30 years and have two daughters, Stacie and Amy (Albert), and two sons, James and Derek. They have four grandchildren, one great grandson, and another great grandson due in July.

Rowe Harrison, Grand Marshal
"America the Beautiful"

Rowe Harrison moved to Tooele in 1961 where he began his teaching career on a one-year contract with the Tooele County School District teaching fourth grade at Central Elementary.  He found his passion teaching art and working in library arts with children.  After 5 years at Central Elementary, Rowe transferred to East Elementary and spent 15 years teaching elementary students to love art, music, and reading.  While at East Elementary, Rowe taught students how to play the ukulele and had a Ukulele Club with as many as 80 students who would travel and perform at malls and the Utah Stars games. 

During his time in the elementary school system, Rowe worked as a librarian, a PE teacher, a music teacher, and as the Audio/Visual Director while at the same time earning his master’s degree in Audio/Visual Media.  Rowe was also tasked with overseeing the Library Science program in every school in the School District, which somehow led to him teaching art classes in every school in the district including Ibapah, Vernon, Dugway Grantsville, and Wendover.  In most of those schools he was teaching students from Kindergarten to Grade 12.  It was not long after when he found his true interest as an art and photography teacher at Tooele High School in 1983. 

While at Tooele High School, Rowe started out working as a librarian but ended up becoming the full-time art and photography teacher.  He also directed the yearbook staff and produced many years of Tooele High School yearbooks. Rowe accompanied many students on school trips to Europe where he helped teach students to love art and history.  Soon after retiring in 2003, Rowe was persuaded to come back to Tooele High School and continue teaching. During his time with the Tooele County School District, he taught in almost every school in the district including South High (alternative high school), Blue Peak High School, and also taught concurrent enrollment classes. He taught music and art to thousands of students in our City and County.  After 52 years on his one year contract with Tooele County School District, Rowe retired as a teacher but has remained the voice at Tooele High School football and basketball games where he has enjoyed announcing and supporting High School events for the past 29 years.  For his continued support of high school students and athletics, Rowe was nominated by Tooele High School and was presented with the Utah High School Activities Association’s Super Fan of the year award in 2023.  Only six Super Fans from across the state of Utah are recognized each year.

Rowe is a dedicated citizen to the community.  He served as one of the original members of the Tooele City Arts Council Board.  Through his time with the Tooele City Arts Council he enjoyed sharing and teaching art to teens and adults.  Rowe works in and teaches many art mediums including photography, oil, pen and ink, acrylics, prism color, and Crayola.

Rowe has never turned anyone away when asked if he could paint or share his talents with the community.  He has painted many high school gym floors and high school walls with his art.  His artwork is on every high school basketball gym floor in the Tooele Valley, including the buffalo that is currently featured on the Tooele High School gymnasium floor.  Over the years, Rowe designed many homecoming floats and painted many football fields for homecoming games.  He is also proud of the many awards that were won while sharing his art at the Tooele County Fair booth at the Utah State Fair for many years where he created original works of art featuring Tooele County.  Rowe also designed the art and painted one of the first Buffalo that will be displayed in Tooele City’s Downtown area.

Rowe’s love of art includes music.  In college Rowe played the trombone in a dance band called the Starlighters for four years.  Today, he plays the guitar with the band Big Belly Boys, and every Thursday afternoon they play for the residents at several of the assisted living centers in Tooele City.

Rowe is a dedicated member of the Tooele City Fire Department where he served as Fire Chief from 2000 – 2001 and has over 40 years of active service to the citizens of Tooele City.  Rowe spent eight years representing the Tooele City Fire Department while serving as the secretary of the Utah State Firefighters Association.  Rowe often created original pieces of art for fire departments’ banquets around the state of Utah, including the pencil drawing of Station No. 1 that commemorated 100 years of Tooele City’s Volunteer Fire Department in 2019.

Rowe and his wife Dixie raised three children and are grandparents to their six grandchildren. They are proud to call Tooele City home. Forever and Forever in Tooele!

We couldn’t think of a better person in our community who has beautified our City more through artistic skills, music, words, and deeds! If you get a chance to sit with Rowe, hand him a piece of scrap paper or a napkin and he will sketch you a work of art and share a story with you.  You will be grateful you had the opportunity! 

Thank you Rowe for over 60 years of service to our community and for making our part of America beautiful! 

Congratulations Rowe!

Enjoy a week-long 4th of July Celebration with Tooele City!

•   Beginning on June 24th and ending on July 25th;

Fireworks may be discharged within the permitted boundaries between the hours of 11am and 11pm, except as noted:

• July 2 – July 5 (July 4th hours extended to midnight);

SAFETY TIPS

• Use extreme caution and be responsible when using fireworks during the season.
• The use of safety glasses is recommended when lighting fireworks. Light fireworks one at a time. Do not attempt to re-light a “dud.” When a firework fails to ignite, leave it alone for at least 5 minutes, then immerse in water and dispose of it properly.
• If high winds or other adverse weather conditions prevail, discharge of fireworks should be postponed or discontinued until weather conditions improve.
• Use fireworks outdoors in a clear, open area away from buildings and vehicles.  Avoid dry grass and brush that could easily ignite. Spectators should remain at least 30 feet away from the shooting area.
• Make sure that you keep a bucket of water, a garden hose, and/or a fire extinguisher nearby in case of emergency.
• Do not consume alcoholic beverages while lighting fireworks. Alcohol use increases the possibility of misuse and injury.
• Be mindful of pets and animals as they may be frightened by the sounds and lights of fireworks.  Keep your pets inside and farm animals moved away during your fireworks show.

Safety Tips for Sparklers
 

• Children under the age of 12 should not use sparklers without very close adult supervision.
• Always remain standing while using sparklers.
• Never hold a child in your arms while using sparklers.
• Never hold or light more than one sparkler at a time.
• Sparklers and bare feet can be a painful combination. Always wear closed toe shoes when using sparklers.
• Sparkler wire and stick remain hot long after the flame has gone out. Be sure to drop the spent sparklers directly in a bucket of water.
• Never hand a lighted sparkler to another person. Give them the unlit sparkler and then light it.
• Always stand at least 6 feet from another person while using sparklers.
• Never throw sparklers.
• Show children how to hold sparklers away from their body and at arm’s length.
• Teach children not to wave sparklers, especially wooden stick sparklers, or run while holding sparklers.

If you have any questions about fireworks in your area, please contact the Tooele City Fire Department or call the office of the State Fire Marshal at 801.284.6350.

Recreational Fires
(Backyard Fire Pit) 

Pursuant to Tooele Code 3-1-29, Recreational or cooking fires are allowed by persons on their own property so long as:

• the recreational or cooking intention for the fire is evident;
• the fire pile height does not exceed 12 inches above the bottom of the fire ring, fire pit, or other fire containing structure at any time;
• the fire is contained within a non-combustible fire ring, fire pit, or other fire containing structure no larger than 36 inches in diameter;
• fire extinguishing items are immediately on-hand (e.g., hose, shovel, water bucket, fire extinguisher); and,
• the fire does not become a smoke or fume nuisance to neighboring properties.

Any time you’re dealing with an open flame you should always be responsible and take the necessary precautions to avoid any accidents. An open fire is a beautiful, warming accent to any yard or garden setting. It is inviting and invigorating as a central point of congregation and socialization. Make sure it is also safe so that you are free to enjoy it without the worry of an unforeseen accident.

Wood burning fire pits give the most authentic outdoor fire experience, but a wood burning fire requires the most attention. Here’s a couple of quick tips to remember:

• Be sure to clear away brush and dead or dry vegetation in a 10’-20’ circle around your fire pit;
• Fire pits should be 25 feet from any structure – Don’t place your fire pit under a covered porch or under any low hanging trees where errant sparks and heat might ignite dry foliage and branches.
• ALWAYS use a spark screen so that sparks cannot escape the fire (especially with wet or sappy wood).
• Keep fire extinguishing items immediately on-hand and nearby the fire pit (e.g., water hose, shovel, water bucket, fire extinguisher).
• Always use personal protective equipment. Use a poker or log grabber to move and arrange logs and never try to move a portable fire pit if it’s hot.
• Do not use lighter fluids to start your fires. They can be unpredictable and dangerous.  Instead, use kindling and build your fire up slowly so that it is always under control and manageable.

Liquid Propane (LP) and natural gas (NG) fire pits require less attention and tending and are more convenient and easy to light, but that doesn’t mean that you should be any less diligent and cautious.

Every time you intend to use your LP or NG fire pit you should:

• Check all the hoses, valves and attachments to make sure there are no leaks or holes before you introduce any kind of flame or spark for ignition.
• If your fire pit runs on a pilot-light be sure to check it from time to time to make sure it hasn’t been blown out and that combustible gases aren’t filling your fire area.
• Always know how and where to shut of your LP or NG supply in case of an emergency.

Backyard fire pits are lovely additions to any outdoor décor.  Protect yourself, your family and your home by using safe fire tending practices and a little common sense.

Submissions are now closed.

“Remembering the Fab Four”

That’s what this Beatles tribute band is all about. From their convincing Liverpool accents with Beatles wit to their pointed Cuban heel boots and authentic vintage instruments, what you’ll experience during their show is pure magic. It’s like seeing the Beatles in concert for the first time!

The four lads joined in 1993 and have performed more than 1300 shows across the United States and abroad. Over the years they have had the privilege of sharing the stage with such notable acts as the Beach Boys, Jay Leno, Chicago, Three Dog Night, Carrie Underwood, Glen Campbell, Badfinger, America, the Mandrel Sisters, the Temptations, the Commodores, the Buckinghams and others. Among their many highlights would include performing at the Nokia Sugarbowl in New Orleans for a national TV audience, being the first act to ever perform at the USANA amphitheater in Salt Lake City, Utah and their 21 shows at the Shanghai Music Festival in May 2005

Some of their many satisfied clients would include: The US Air Force, US Navy, Boy Scouts of America, Coldwell-Banker, Chevron, Sinclair Oil Corp., Wells Fargo, Lion’s Clubs of America, National Order of Police, National Order of Firefighters, Shanghai Music Festival, Bowl Games of America, The Puyallup Fair, The Utah State Fair, The Big Fresno Fair, the Utah Symphony, Grand Junction Symphony and the Macon Symphony.

The talented individuals who have “Come Together” as Imagine are:

Tom Coburn (John Lennon):  Growing up in Manhattan Beach, CA, Tom had little on his mind besides surfing and baseball until February 9th, 1964 when he saw the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show.  At 16 he began performing in the LA club scene with his first band “Mother’s Pride”.  In 1970 he began a 25 year career with Delta Airlines but was always loyal to his ‘other job’ as a musician. His love for music and stage led him to take early retirement in 1995 to promote Imagine.  Paying tribute to the Beatles has taken him on a journey beyond his wildest dreams.  As he plays the piano, guitar, bass and harmonica he still pinches himself. “I am the luckiest person I know”.  Tom and his wife, Rosanne, live in Murray UT.

Richard Fazzi (Paul McCartney):  Born and raised in San Jose, California, Rich anchors stage right with his incredibly accurate performance of Sir Paul and as luck would have it, he is a natural lefty. As is the case with so many other musicians, he was inspired by the four lads he watched on television that fateful Sunday evening in February of 1964.   An accomplished skater and hockey player, Rich is always cheering for his beloved San Jose Sharks.  Bass, acoustic guitar and piano are his instruments of choice and he plays with Imagine. A veteran of the tribute circuit, Rich now makes his home in Rexford NY with his wife, Vonda.

Brad Armstrong (George Harrison): This Utah native has been instrumental in developing Imagine into the versatile band they are today.  Classically trained, Brad has written the musical scores for a number of professional acts and helped to create the backing tracks used in Imagine’s show. Growing up in a house full of Beatlemaniacs he claims, “It was like a 24/7 Beatles trivia show”. He loves touring with Imagine and it is apparent by the never-ending smile on his face.  Called Darby by his friends, Brad is a real estate agent in the Salt Lake City area as well as a versatile musician. He plays guitar, bass, piano and recorder with Imagine and has been a part of the Salt Lake music scene for years with his affinity for fretless bass.

Mark Robinette (Ringo Starr): Began his musical career in San Jose, California, playing professionally at age 14.  His eclectic musical tastes have motivated him to learn many instruments and many styles. He has played with the Mamas and Papas, Natalie Cole, Frankie Avalon, Bobby Vinton, Donny Osmond, and the Temptations, to name a few. He has played with the touring casts of Broadway shows including Chicago, The King and I, and Annie. His company, Accent Productions, produces entertainment events around the country, including the Orange Bowl Halftime show in Miami. He is in demand as a music director, arranger, and teacher. The experience of studying Beatles songs note for note has given him great respect for the craft of songwriting. Mark was a music major at the University of Utah and has written all the orchestral charts for Imagines’ symphony shows. He resides in beautiful Kaysville UT.

Eric Robinette (Sound Engineer): A highly respected sound engineer with credits including the Smothers Brothers, Piano Guys, Rich Little, Collin Raye, Peter Noone (Herman’s Hermits), the Osmonds, Tony Danza, David Archuleta and many others. Eric has extensive experience in musical theater, live television and corporate events. He is also very handy with a soldering iron, multi-meter and backing up trailers.  Eric started his association with Imagine in 1994, mixing sound for their shows on the carousel stage at Lagoon Amusement Park in Farmington UT. Since then he has been with them on countless travels including the Sugar Bowl Half time show at the Superdome in New Orleans, Fresno County Fair opening for Jay Leno, and the Shanghai Music Festival in China. Eric has four children and three grand kids. He says, “I’m thankful for the support of my wife, Ann”. They live happily in Layton, Utah.

Tooele City Fireworks Information

Tooele City is asking residents to not use personal fireworks, but to instead attend professional firework shows. For those residents who are choosing to use fireworks to celebrate July 4th and 24th, we ask you to exercise extreme caution during the dry days of summer and especially with the extreme drought conditions, so that the life and safety of everyone in the city may be upheld.

Tooele City is not immune to the extreme fire hazards that plague many communities in the form of a wildfire. Conditions are often right for even the smallest opportunity of a fire, no matter the cause, to spread quickly throughout our city. The Tooele City Council has taken action to create fire restriction zones within the city in order to protect areas where the greatest risk of fire exists. Download a map of the restricted areas in Tooele City at tooelefire.org.  Fireworks are not allowed in any city park with the exception of the Dow James Park located at 400 North 435 West.

We also want to remind you to make sure that any discharged firework is cool and extinguished before properly disposing of them in a trash receptacle. In the event that you witness or experience a fire, please contact 911 immediately. To report illegal firework use, please contact dispatch at 435.882.5600.

Where Can I Discharge Fireworks in Tooele City?


Violations

The sale and use of fireworks are regulated by Utah State Statute and Tooele City Ordinance.  An individual who violates these laws and causes or spreads a fire through the discharge of a class C explosive is liable for the cost of suppressing the fire and any damages that the fire causes. The individual will be charged with an infraction that is punishable by a fine of up to $750 if they are discharging fireworks outside of the legal discharge times or in a restricted area. If the individual is a minor, the parent or legal guardian will be liable for the costs and damages. If you have any questions concerning the boundaries, laws, or ordinances as they relate to the sale or discharge of fireworks in Tooele City, please contact the Tooele City Fire Department at (435) 843-2200.

Reporting Violations


Additional Information

Tooele City Fire Department recommends to seek out a professional fireworks display; however, if you discharge fireworks please use caution and abide by the following safety tips:
Thank you for your cooperation. We look forward to a safe and fun holiday!

Posted June 23, 2021

Due to the ongoing drought and extremely dry conditions, fire authorities and city officials are urging extreme caution this year when handling fireworks. Each year, the Tooele City Fire Department publishes a Fireworks Restrictions Map (.pdf). This year’s map is attached here and can also be found online tooelefire.org.

We are encouraging our residents to enjoy the City’s fireworks show on Friday, July 2nd instead of lighting their own fireworks.  Professional shows are much safer and more controllable than personal fireworks, which is why city officials are urging residents to leave the fireworks to the pros this year.

We urge our residents to be extra careful, especially this year, and always use common sense. Please be safe!

The Miss Tooele City Pageant is held as part of Tooele City’s week-long 4th of July festivities. We will crown a new Miss Tooele City to represent our City this night.  We are excited that this is our 10th Anniversary of this event! This is a free community event. All are welcome to attend!

Charley Jenkins in Concert!
Charley has performed in Tooele City a number of times, and our residents are always asking to have him back again and again!

“Born country?” Exactly!!! Charley Jenkins has country roots that run deep. He was raised on a farm in Eastern Utah where he learned how to rope, ride and work hard. Life on the Jenkins farm revolved around cows, horses and of course rodeo. Country music is all about a real cowboy’s life like Charley’s. “Country is who and what I am. It is only natural for me to sing the songs that I love and relate to.” Charley’s first album, Greatest Hours was written and produced by Charley with the help of his friend, Jordan Allen. With the success of this album and some personal advice from George Strait, Charley decided to push his career to a new level.

In the summer of 2001 Charley loaded up his truck with everything he owned and headed off to Nashville, Tennessee. It didn’t take him long to get his foot in the door in the country music industry. Charley was soon working on Music Row for a song writing publishing company. It was here that Charley learned the “ins and outs” of the country business. He became personal friends with a number of Nashville “greats.”

While in Nashville Charley released his second album titled, Round Here. He wanted this album to show who he is and what his music is all about. The title, Round Here was so fitting. Charley is proud of where he is from and the people who have influenced his life. It was this love that brought Charley back home in the summer of 2004 to help with the farm and to be with his family and his father who was battling cancer. “Coming home was an easy decision for me, and I will never regret it.” The Round Here album is a tribute to his father and he personally wrote the song, “Hero At Home” for him. With the overwhelming success of the Round Here album Charley recorded and released his third album in August of 2007 titled Ridin’ and his fourth in September 2009 titled Hold On. Each album reflects a true look into a country boy’s life with song titles such as “Duct Tape and Bailing Wire”, “Country Music”, “Right Where I Belong”, “Hold On” and “Rodeo Clown”. Charley is also excited to announce the release of his fourth album set to release June 2013.

In the summer of 2008 Charley was selected out of 45,000 contestants to be one of 12 finalists to compete on Nashville Star which aired on NBC. He was also invited to be interviewed and sing on the nationwide popular Today Show in New York City.

Top Nashville writer, Tony Martin who has written 12 number one songs such as “Third Rock from the Sun”, “Just To See You Smile”, “Living and Living Well”, and “Time Is Love” said this about Charley’s album. “I love Charley’s album, but it upset me that the song I love the most, ‘As Long As I’m With You’, is one I didn’t write; Charley did.”

Charley’s career has been gaining tremendous momentum as he has opened for many top 20 country headliners including LeAnn Rimes, Alan Jackson, Lonestar, Montgomery Gentry, Kellie Pickler, Taylor Swift, Josh Turner and many others. Charley has sung country music for tens of thousands. He has an unusual ability to customize his show to fit the personality of any crowd. Dan Truman of Diamond Rio says this, “Charley Jenkins’. He’s great! He’s real, and he’s full of energy and passion.” That’s what Charley is all about.

Artie Hemphill and The Iron Horse Band
When you come see Artie Hemphill & The Iron Horse Band perform, you get an amazing group of uniquely talented musicians, vocalists and performers who create a savory smorgasbord for the senses. When they take the stage, they whip up a musical treat that satisfies even the most intense craving for great country music, while at the same time, instilling in you an insatiable hunger that’ll keep you begging for more.

The members of Artie Hemphill and The Iron Horse Band are undisputed professionals with impressive pedigrees. The expertise they display while showcasing their incredible talents to eager fans stems from a long list of experience. Their combined backgrounds encompass thousands of live performances, years on the road touring nationally, spending over a decade living in Nashville honing musical crafts and multiple college music degrees. And that doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface. As a band they have wowed audiences performing live at a dizzying array of venues. These include such things as multiple TV and radio appearances, numerous fairs, festivals and special events as well as opening for national artists such as Diamond Rio, Emerson Drive, Sawyer Brown, Chris Cagle, Joe Diffie and John Michael Montgomery just to name a few. Artie and the band were also voted the winners of the 2011 Stadium of Fire Talent Competition by a screaming crowd of over 46,000 attendees.

Due to the widely diverse musical backgrounds that converge in the group, this “gourmet” country band has dialed in a sound that is unique and appealing to all country fans and even many non-country music fans alike. Their on-stage energy, mind blowing musicianship and the interaction between the band members and audience is always a sure fire crowd pleaser.

The band’s signature sound is credited to the incredible and unmistakable vocal talents of lead singer Artie Hemphill. His uniquely rich, seasoned and sultry baritone voice has been heard in just about every type of venue imaginable. As the front man and “voice” of the band, Artie drives home the rock-solid lead vocals with power, energy and drive as well as rounding out the musical mix playing acoustic rhythm guitar. When you watch this natural performer deliver, and hear him belt out that sweet country music, you’ll have no doubt that Artie is “the real deal.” Layer this in with the bands tight three part harmonies, extraordinary musical talents and impressive stage presence and you’ve got all the ingredients of a national Nashville quality touring act, right in your own backyard!

As hundreds of fans will attest, the only way to truly experience Artie Hemphill & The Iron Horse band is see them perform live. So we invite you to come check them out!

Bio:
MICKEY THOMAS is the owner of the soaring voice that propelled STARSHIP through the decades of the 80’s and 90’s. With his soulful and compelling vocals, MICKEY has established himself as one of Rock Music’s most recognizable stars.

Mickey made his mark in 1976 as lead vocalist on the mega-hit “FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE” with The ELVIN BISHOP Band. In 1979, Mickey’s joined the JEFFERSON STARSHIP as lead vocalist, after the departure of Grace Slick and Marty Balin.

Backed by the power of MICKEY’S vocals, JEFFERSON STARSHIP immediately scored a #1 hit with “JANE”. With this new sound and powerful new vocals, the group was renamed STARSHIP and continued to record an amazing string of hits including “NO WAY OUT”, “WE BUILT THIS CITY”, “SARA”, and an Oscar Nomination for the #1 hit “NOTHING GONNA STOP US NOW” from the movie “Mannequin”. Other top hits included “FIND YOUR WAY BACK”, “STRANGER”, “LAYING IT ON THE LINE”, and “IT’S NOT OVER TILL IT’S OVER” which became Major League Baseball’s theme in 1987.

Moreover, every STARSHIP album released since 1979 has gone Gold, Platinum, or Multi-Platinum. MICKEY’S stellar voice and video charisma on STARSHIP’s video classics such as “WE BUILT THIS CITY” and “SARA” have become staples on MTV and VH1. Material covered in STARSHIP’s live performance ranges from MICKEY’S tenure with THE ELVIN BISHOP Band and STARSHIP, as well as songs from his two solo albums. Mickey will be backed by the band STARSHIP featuring:

JEFF ADAMS – BASS
JOHN ROTH – GUITAR
PHIL BENNETT – KEYBOARDS DARRELL VERDUSCO – DRUMS
STEPHANIE CALVERT – VOCALS

Paul Brewer Magical Entertainer!

Part of Tooele City’s week-long 4th of July celebration!

Voted Utah’s Grand Prix overall #1 Magical Entertainer!

Presenting the one, the only entertainer who can mesmerize two dozen kids, a roomful of adults, and amazingly, even a cynical teen-all at once.

It’s no hoax. Paul Brewer is recognized (and asked to reappear again and again) thanks to his uncanny ability to transform a show around the needs and moods of the moment. From small family parties to huge corporate events, Paul has the humor, style and sensitivity for every situation.

Not convinced? Paul and his lovely assistant (and wife) Jodi starred in 1,600 sold-out shows at the Lotte World Adventure theme park in Korea. Together, they entertained thousands on a daily basis-without being fluent in Korean (now that’s a trick). Paul also created the magical atmosphere surrounding Salt Lake City’s 49th Street Galleria amusement center. With 30 years experience, he continually entertains for schools, church functions, special needs groups and more. And thanks to his Houdini-like flexibility, he can create the perfect show for you too.
