Neko Case

Neko Case claims no genre, nor relies on any classic formula for her songs and singing.  With a sense of having lived in another era, Neko has unleashed in equal turns a raucous and otherworldly form of music.  Her unique vocal talent and the musical depth and strength of her recordings are highly regarded.  Yet it is her lyrical prowess and her ability to shape verse that coalesce her distinctive, powerful music.

Crooked Fingers

In 2000 after the Archers of Loaf disbanded, noted songwriter and indie-rock icon Eric Bachmann took his music in a different direction when he formed Crooked Fingers. Instead of the clamorous, angular rock of old, he began creating the sumptuous and delicately melancholic songs that have come to define the band. Crooked Fingers’ latest album, “Dignity and Shame,” illustrates chief songwriter Bachmann’s heartbreaking yet newly hopeful lyrics.


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.
