Why Utah? Volume 2: Summer Rocks! (Literally)
If you’re anything like us, a Utah summer isn’t complete without music. And no, we’re not just talking about the summer anthem playing on every radio station that you can’t get out of your head. We’re talking about sunshine, fresh air, and jamming out to your favorite live band with your squad. With everything from outdoor music festivals and open air concerts to headlining tours…Utah has you covered.
What does this have to do with real estate, you ask? Well, if you’re an avid music lover who loves spending time outdoors with family and friends, then everything! You want to put down stakes in a community that fits your lifestyle and speaks to your interests. And whether you’re belting out lyrics in the front row at an 80’s rock concert, nodding your head along to beats at Reggae Fest or discovering a new indie-folk sound tucked away in the Wasatch mountains, there really is something for everyone — if you know where to look.
So what do you say…summer and music? Yes please! Check out some of our favorite locales.
Twilight Concert Series – Put on by the Salt Lake City Arts Council, this series has become a popular Thursday night tradition during the summer months of July and August in downtown SLC. Featuring artists like Lupe Fiasco, Kid Cudi, Death Cab for Cutie and Empire of the Sun, and at only $5/ticket, it draws the attention of the young (and young at heart!) Click here for this summer’s remaining lineup and info on how to purchase tickets.
Red Butte Garden Outdoor Concert Series – At the heart of any Utah summer is a pack of tickets to the concerts at Red Butte Garden. Presenting several ‘blast from the past’ performances in its 2016 summer concert lineup (Blondie, Culture Club and Tears for Fears) along with newer artists (The Lumineers and Grace Potter). Awesome, right? Tickets are offered to Red Butte members first and often sell out before they hit the public — so we recommend purchasing a membership if you decide to go this route. (Bonus: you can visit the gardens year-round and get ticket discounts!) Here’s the full lineup.
Sundance Bluebird Cafe Concert Series – The Bluebird Cafe Concert Series features Nashville’s renowned singers, songwriters, and musicians. Sundance Mountain Resort partnered with the original Bluebird Cafe in Nashville ‘to bring a taste of musical storytelling to Utah.’ On the lineup this summer? Hit singer/songwriters like Amy Grant, Vince Gill and Ashley Gorley to name of few. The Bluebird Cafe Barbecue starts at 6 p.m. prior to each show, so get there early to get your grub on!
Park City Summer Concert Series – This free, outdoor series is held on the Mountain Stage at Canyons Village on select Saturdays through September 3rd. Performances feature a variety of genres and bands including The Wailers, Bright Light Social Hour and Robert Ellis & The Perfect Strangers. Guests are welcome to bring their own blankets and picnics while they enjoy the summer sun and music! The full lineup of concert dates and and performers can be found here.
Snowbird Cool Air Concert Series – Jam out on the Plaza Deck to top local and national bands every Saturday until August 6th. Free to the public, the series features indie-folk, bluegrass and soul-funk artists like Band of Heathens, Sister Sparrow & The Dirty Birds, and The Deslondes. You can grab a bite to eat at The Birdfeeder and Forklift Patio, or you can pack your own cooler with your favorite concert snacks and beverages to share with friends. Check out this summer’s remaining lineup!
USANA Amphitheatre – USANA Ampitheatre is an outdoor amphitheatre located in Utah’s West Valley City. If you’re looking for big-name, headlining acts, then this is your place. This summer’s concert series features big name country artists like Florida Georgia Line and Luke Bryan, classic rock bands like Journey and Def Leppard and pop-rock bands 5 Seconds of Summer and Blink 182. The amphitheater has also played host to music festivals including the X96 Big Ass Show, Reggae Fest and the Uproar Festival. It’s a summer must-do!

Welcome, 2020! We made it through the first week of the New Year and are already excited for what’s to come in this brand new decade. Anything can happen, and we have so much to create! Whether you’re a fan of long-term resolutions or prefer setting smaller, short-term goals, it feels good to start the year off with a desire to change for the better. If you know us, you know our approach at Novation Title has always been goal-centric, not only within our business but in our personal lives and out in the community. In today’s world where we are constantly connected (and distracted), it’s no wonder that we increasingly find ourselves overwhelmed mentally and physically drained. Often, the issues in everyday life are the ones that prevent us from enjoying the very same everyday life! How can we balance this out? We believe we can do better. That is why we are introducing meditation into our workspace. While meditation has been practiced for over 5,000 years, it is increasingly becoming a necessary way for us to unplug from the modern world. But what, exactly, is it? Meditation is a practice where an individual uses a technique — such as mindfulness — to train attention and thoughts. Mindfulness is awareness, it is a state of peace. It is being in the present moment, intentional and serene. It is the process of being aware of your thoughts while also disconnecting from them so you can connect within. Connecting within is the highest form of intelligence and results in proven mental, emotional and spiritual health benefits. Here are just a few science-based benefits of meditation: Reduces blood pressure Increases serotonin production that improves mood and behavior Improves immune system Increase in energy levels Lessens stress and anxiety Increases happiness and creativity Clarity and peace of mind Increased memory retention and recall Enhances self-awareness and self-acceptance Each one of us, regardless of gender, age or other factors, undergo daily stress and tension at some level or the other. That’s why we’re so excited to introduce #NovationMeditation into our business and we encourage others to join us this year. We can ALL benefit from improved mental and physical health in 2020. Who’s with us?!
