Tuacahn Center for the Arts in Ivins, Utah, hosted three nights of rock and country music on Nov. 5-7. Fans from all around Southern Utah and Nevada enjoyed live music under the stars at Tuacahn’s outdoor amphitheater.
The week started off with an “electrifying two-hour concert that brings the biggest classic rock anthems to life like never before.”
Symphonic Rockshow out of Las Vegas, Nevada, featured a live band, orchestra and brass and woodwinds. Frontman Brody Dolyniuk demonstrated an wide vocal range with hit songs from Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Ozzy Osbourne and more.
The crowd of 2000 attendees sang along to every song, and the full symphony orchestra brought a new sound to classic rock music.
The following night, classic rock band Night Ranger took the stage on Thursday, Nov. 6. The band rocked out with their ‘80s hit songs like “Don’t Tell Me You Love Me” and “Sister Christian.”
“This is my second Night Ranger concert,” said attendee Derrek Adams. “The last time I saw them was in 1991 here in St. George, about 34 years ago.”
Despite band members being over 70 years old, they still had a packed audience of lifelong and loyal fans.
After two nights of rock n roll, CMA award winner Ashley McBryde closed out the week with both classic and modern country music. Fans wore their cowboy boots and danced to songs “Tired of Being Happy,” “Girl Goin’ Nowhere” and others.
McBryde described her eventful career after almost two decades of making music. She expressed her gratitude for
her supporters during her good and bad times, including her journey to sobriety.
Tuacahn’s outdoor Amphitheater will only hold one more week of shows before closing for the winter season. Plays and performances will then move into the center’s indoor auditorium. Beginning the end of November, Elf the Musical will take place throughout the Christmas season.
