The spring season opened at the end of May with the Grammy-Award winning country duo Brooks & Dunn. On May 30, they brought the REBOOT TOUR to Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre. As one of the most anticipated tours of 2024, Brooks & Dunn didn’t fail to impress. The concert followed the release of their 11th studio album “Reboot,” and they played to the very back of the crowd! May also enjoyed an unforgettable performance from James Taylor & His All-Star Band on May 31. Known and loved around the world as one of greatest singer-songwriters of all time, James Taylor sang his heart out alongside adoring fans. The setlist included classics like “You’ve Got a Friend,” “How Sweet It Is (to be Loved By You),” “Handyman,” as well as his more modern hits like, “Today Today Today” and “It’s Growing.”

I would recommend for all age groups,” and Patty said “Best.concert.ever. BIG FAN.”
