The Disgusting Brothers Band was born in 1979 as a fundraising arm of the nonprofit SPLORE (Special Populations Learning Outdoor Recreation and Education). SPLORE provided and supported adaptive outdoor sports opportunities for people with all types of disabilities. SPLORE flourished during the ensuing 40 years, due to the efforts of the band and the thousands of dedicated volunteers, providing services to over 100,000 clients. The Disgusting Brothers Band's fundraising concerts had been noticed by other charitable causes, and they asked for the band's assistance. The Disgusting Brothers have played benefit concerts for scores of Utah and national worthy causes, numerous charities from "AIDS to Zoo", helping raise millions of dollars. The gentlemen of the band donating their time, talent, and treasure to these nonprofit causes are: Sam Falsone - lead vocals Curt Crowther - keyboards and vocals Ray Thomason - lead, rhythm, and bass guitars and vocals Steve “Thunder” Allred - lead, rhythm, and pedal steel guitars Paul Grace - drums Mike Riggle - saxophone Phil Triolo - saxophone Steve Mimnaugh - Rhythm and bass guitars and vocals The band has offered loud, fast, and danceable vintage Rock and Roll music with the original members for 46 years. 

Five nights of jazz under the summer stars at Gallivan Center. Come indulge all your senses with incredible live jazz, swing dancing, food trucks, art vendors, and more. Joy in Rhythm goes full western swing on July 23rd. This is the night where cowboy boots meet the dance floor and the music swings from both sides of the country-jazz divide. The Western Stars open the evening with their irresistible blend of western swing, honky-tonk, and vintage country. Pedal steel, fiddle, and vocals that make you want to grab a partner and two-step until the sun goes down. Then the Hot House West Swing Orchestra takes the stage and keeps the western swing energy rolling — blending big band arrangements with western swing standards for a dance set that feels like a Saturday night in a better timeline. Whether you’re a two-stepper, a Lindy Hopper, or someone who just wants to sway, Western Swing Night has a place for you.

ASL interpretation can be provided with 2 weeks advance notice. Please reach out with any accessibility needs. About Gay Mormon Dad: Life is better when you live it as your true self. All his life, Chad Anderson was told he was broken. He believed with all his heart that being a good Mormon would make him straight, because that is what he was told. Chad followed the prescribed road map: mission, marriage, and children. But it didn’t make him happy, and it didn’t make him straight. For Chad, coming out meant losing everything and starting again. Gay Mormon Dad is the story of one man learning to love himself in a complicated world. This inspiring autobiography unfolds in two parts, “Then” and “Now,” woven together in a way that will hit you right in the heart. Vibrantly illustrated by artist Remy Burke, this moving graphic novel sheds light on the dangers of spiritual abuse and illuminates the path to healing. About Chad Anderson: Chad Anderson is a father, social worker, and writer based in Salt Lake City. Chad pursues his passions and interests as a writer through graphic novel and comic book scripts, poetry, and essays. Chad produced the film Dog Valley and hosts the weekly podcast Graymalkin Lane.
