Salt Lake City Festival Cafe
The Beehive Tea Room’s (12
W. Broadway) vintage decor and soothing, Roaring ’20s sounds makes a
perfect respite for frazzled festival-goers and filmmakers. Sweetening

Main) from Friday, Jan. 20, through Friday, Jan. 27. The free event is

holders only. Highlights include A Fine Frenzy, The All-American

Jeffreys, Jenny O. and more. Visit ASCAP.com for more information.
Park City Bars & Clubs
Many
a Main Street bar and club is taken over for private parties, but there
are still numerous (expensive) options to see quality tunes. As of
print deadline, only a few shows had been announced, most notably at Park City Live (427
Main; formerly Harry O’s): LMFAO’s Redfoo & the Party Rock Crew
(Jan. 21), DeadMau5 with special guests (Jan. 22) and Big Sean (Jan.
28). Each year, Downstairs, The Spur Bar & Grill and The Sidecar provide
some memorable concerts. Check TicketCake.com for updates and to
purchase tickets. Also, with loads of musicians in town, you never know
when a secret show will pop up.
