Here you will find what will I'm sure become a lengthy list of some of my favorite performers.....
Ellis
One of my favorite singer\songwriters. Quirky and fun, great shows, beautiful hand-made music! I really cannot say enough. Check her out........
Jen Hajj
Another favorite female artist, Jen is a local artist in Salt Lake City that will blow you away with her angelic vocals. A great song writer and performer, she performs with a number of fellow musicians. Some of my best evenings have been spent listening to Little Jen and Utah Slim harmonize and yodel! Check her out.....
Utah Slim
This guy writes some of the most lyrically intricate songs out there. Honest vocals, great melodies and guitar (not to mention an awsome hat). Well worth a listen.......

Otter Creek
One of my favorite duo's, Peter and Mary Danzig use mountain dulcimer, banjo, mandolin, guitar, and fiddle to create an incredible background for their honest and harmonized vocals. They are both highly skilled musicians and songwriters....as well as some of the nicest folks you will ever meet. Have a listen....
