Tonight's lineup:

Live music from Paul Boruff and Lise Brunhart, aka Que Faire.

Eric Peterson of The Utah Investigative Journalism Project, which will host The News Trivia Junkie Showdown this Sunday night, 7:00-9:00 p.m. at Fisher Brewing Company, 320 W. 800 S., SLC. 

  • Think you could match your knowledge of the Utah legislative session and D.C. shenanigans on capitol hill and the White House against local reporters like Fox 13's Ben Winslow and Salt Lake Tribune columnist Robert Gehrke? If so you might just have what it takes to win cash prizes at the first-ever News Junkie Trivia Throwdown to benefit UIJP. It's a 501(c)3 nonprofit that digs up important investigative stories and provides free investigative journalism training and education to local newsrooms and students journalists.

  • Cost is $5 a person so get together a team to put your skills to the test. The event will be two rounds, one focused on Utah’s 2019 legislative session and the other on national news of congress and the White House. Don’t be intimidated though; the reporter’s team can’t win any prizes, they’re just there for the glory– and for you to challenge for the special cash bonus.
