The Twilight Concert Series celebrates its twenty-first season in 2008 by celebrating contemporary music of the twenty-first century. This summer, the Twilight Concert Series presents a strong and exciting group of musicians, some of whom defy definition, ranging from rock to country to hip hop to bluegrass and every possible combination of the above.  This is a stellar season and the Salt Lake City Arts Council invites everyone to come downtown on Thursday nights in July and August for the Twilight Concert Series experience.

The 2008 Twilight Concert Series opens on July 10 and is presented every Thursday evening through August 28, at the Gallivan Center in downtown Salt Lake City.  To complement the music, the Twilight Market offers food and beverages with something for every taste, from pizza to pasta, from vegetarian to barbecue, and from cookies to gelato.  The Twilight Market also offers local artists’ work, including such handcrafted items as jewelry, clothing, soaps, and ceramics.  The Twilight Market opens at 5:00 p.m.; the concerts begin at 7:00 p.m.

The concerts are free; for best seating, concert-goers should arrive early.  Blankets and chairs may not be placed before 1:30 p.m., and someone must remain with the blanket at all times. Only low-backed chairs are permitted.  The Gallivan Center does not allow pets or smoking.  Concerts will proceed, rain or shine.


Concert-goers can enjoy shopping at the Twilight Market from 5 to 10 p.m., with a wonderful assortment of foods, beverages and locally produced arts and crafts.   Barbecue, vegetarian fare, pastas—and everything in between—are available in the Market.  Handcrafted items including jewelry, ceramics, and handbags will be available for sale at the Twilight Market. 


De La Soul

De La Soul is a Grammy Award-winning hip hop group from Amityville, New York. Best known for their eclectic sampling and quirky, surreal lyrics, they have made great contributions to the evolution of the jazz/rap subgenre. At the time of its 1989 release, De La Soul's debut album, “3 Feet High and Rising”, was hailed as the future of hip hop. With its colorful, neo-psychedelic collage of samples and styles, plus the Long Island trio's low-key, clever rhymes and goofy humor, their music established a distinct and respected tradition in the hip hop world.

The Cool Kids

Part of the mid-2000s hip-hop movement, the Cool Kids are both an internet and live show phenomenon. The duo of Mickey Rocks and Chuck Inglish met in 2005 after Mickey came across some of Chuck's beats online and liked what he heard. In 2007, based on their material posted on their MySpace site, the group caught the attention of Pitchfork, who later invited them to play at their summer festival. This led to an opening spot on  HYPERLINK "http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.... \o "blocked::http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.... M.I.A.'s solo tour and their debut EP, “The Bake Sale,” which was released in January 2008.
