We are very sorry for the loss of two music icons this past week. Both DAVY JONES (66) and RONNIE MONTROSE (64) have been part of my musical life for as long as I can remember. Please join with me in remembering them and how important they both were to music.
We received a nice spread in The Spectrum/Daily News on Friday, as we several things going on at the store this month. Two of them are this weekend – I hope you can join us!
- After three years, STEVEN SWIFT has new CD out! He will debut “Soul on Shelf” and will be playing songs from it on Friday night.
- OTTER CREEK, an acoustic folk duo out of Salt Lake City, will be playing in Cedar Cityn for the first time on Saturday night.
