I'm not sure how many readers I have left since I've been posting a lot less this past year or two. And I'm not sure how many of you are in Utah or like listening to FREE music in the summer. But I do. So I've been searching around the net for free concerts in my area of Utah and thought I'd share my huge list of shows, all for FREE. I'm sure there are tons more, but this is a very long list to start with. Sorry I can't provide links for all of the artists since the list already took forever to compile, but look some up on YouTube or search them to see if you like the music before attending.
* Central Utah Gardens at 355 W. University Parkway, Orem UT has free outdoor concerts throughout the summer. Concerts start at 7:00 pm.
