Go to concerts, the movies say. They’re youthful and fun.But you go to BYU and live in Provo.“Where?!” you scream into the void. “I don’t know any venues!”The movies say nothing. They just laugh in your face, cold and unfeeling. Okay, maybe it’s not quite like that. But it feels pretty similar sometimes. Music is very much a part of our lives; just ask any college admissions essay. That’s why I think it’s worth listening to live music—it hits different than studio recordings. But it’s hard to know where to start in a place like Utah county, especially if you’re moving in from elsewhere (like me!).For a long time, the only interesting music-thing I knew about Utah county was that there’s the Rooftop Concert series that Provo puts on every year. Then it got canceled, and I (along with many others) thought, “Well. What now?”
