Vision Utah: Vision - Classic Rock Hits at Mantua
A night of classic rock hits played in the beautiful Maple Springs Park in Mantua Utah.
The Band “Vision” was formed in 1981 by co-founders Brett Hart, John Hanson, and Ken Shumway, who are still active members in the band today. Vision has been playing together for more than 40 years, and to help celebrate, the band has developed their “Tribute to Classic Rock” set list. Vision has performed throughout the Rocky Mountain/Intermountain West area for all types of venues and concert goers, of all ages and backgrounds.
The strengths of the band are embedded in the lead and harmony vocal abilities of each band member, coupled with a solid rhythm section of the three founding members, and the additions of the masterful lead guitar playing of Rich Bischoff and orchestral keyboard talents of Troy Jolley, have made the band what it is today.
Vision brings their abilities to solidly perform to detail, songs by some of the greatest Classic Rock bands of our time. The band has an uncanny ability to reproduce in a “live” setting, the great sounds of the bands that they play tribute to, by re-creating a studio quality, hi-fidelity representation of what the listener would expect to hear from the original bands who recorded these songs, years ago!
See and hear for yourself what more than 40 years of playing together by a group of talented and dedicated professionals can sound like for your event. It’s like turning on your favorite Classic Rock radio station and tuning in to their block party weekend!
Vision Is…
Brett Hart – Drums, Percussion, Lead and Backing Vocals
Ken Shumway – Bass Guitar, Lead and Backing Vocals
Rich Bischoff – Lead Guitar, Rhythm Guitar, Lead and Backing Vocals
Troy Jolley – Keyboard, Keytar, Percussion, Lead and Backing Vocals

Pedro the Lion
Undertow Shows are limited capacity, listening style shows hosted by fans. All tickets must be purchased in advance from the Undertow ticket store. Details will be emailed after you complete your ticket purchase.
For thirty years, David Bazan has been writing about what it means to believe in something—and what it means when those beliefs fray. When Pedro the Lion released It's Hard to Find a Friend in 1998, Bazan was already a keen observer of moral and existential conflict, capturing minor human disappointments with devastating attention. By the time Control came out, his writing had sharpened, slicing through suburban politeness and the American dream with pinpoint precision. For over a decade, he built Pedro the Lion into one of indie rock's most quietly radical projects, chronicling doubt, faith, guilt, and the messy pursuit of grace in a way that felt both deeply personal and universally resonant.
Then, in 2006, he retired the Pedro the Lion moniker, as if setting down an old burden. Bazan kept writing, releasing the synth project Headphones and five solo albums that were blunt and revelatory in their own right, but the decision to retire the name felt definitive. Until, suddenly, it wasn't. In 2017, after being dormant for more than a decade, Pedro the Lion was back. The deeply autobiographical albums to follow, Phoenix, Havasu and Santa Cruz, marked a return to the places that shaped him literally and metaphorically, tracing the lines of the past to understand the shape of the present.
Now, on the occasion of Pedro the Lion's 30th anniversary, Bazan is doing what he does best: stepping onto a stage and making these songs feel brand new again. The anniversary shows are less about commemoration than they are continuation, a chance to revisit the entire 30 year catalog in a way that is still active, still evolving. "The name felt like an imaginary friend for me," he says, "a way to have a relationship with myself." But if Pedro the Lion was once an imaginary friend, it is now something else. It is less like a ghost from the past and more like an old companion you fall back in step with, no matter how much time has passed.
For all the sorrow and searching that has shaped it, the music has always had an essential warmth—a belief in people, in possibility, and in the redemptive power of bearing witness to your own life. Three decades in, Pedro the Lion remains a project about faith, even if that faith has taken on new shapes. It's the persistent hope that there is meaning in the telling: if you lay it all out, every doubt and devotion, every failure and flicker of hope, something honest will emerge.

Jam is another great way to preserve your favorite fruits and berries. At this class, we will review the safest methods used to can jams and jellies.
Bandito versus the Prairie Pirate Posse
Juanito Bandito and his gang of outlaws are back — and this time, they've bitten off way more than they can chew.
When Bandito and his ragtag crew stumble onto the trail of a legendary buried treasure near the town of Devil's Cove, they think they've finally hit the big time. There's just one problem: the most feared outlaw posse in the entire Western territory — the infamous Prairie Pirates — are after the same prize. And their ruthless leader just happens to be Bandito's own brother.
What follows is a wild, hilarious collision of sibling rivalry, buried treasure, bumbling crooks in way over their heads, and a showdown that'll have the whole family on the edge of their seats — when they're not doubled over laughing.
Packed with original music, nonstop comedy, and the kind of audience interaction that's made Pickleville a fan favorite for over 20 years, "Bandito versus the Prairie Pirate Posse" is live entertainment at its best — fast, funny, and fun for all ages.
Four performances only. Don't miss it.

Canyon Jams 2026: The Rowan Bros.
Third time is a charm! The Rowan Bros join us again and if the weather holds, it will be an evening of great music and good friends. (If there is ever a weather issue, the concert will be moved to the nature center and we will let all ticketholders know of the change ahead of time).
The Rowan Brothers deliver their original songs and classic cover tunes with upbeat energy, tight harmonies, driving grooves, and a feel-good sound. Signed as recording artists to major record labels by Clive Davis/Columbia Records and later David Geffen (Warner/Asylum), their brotherly harmonies and melodies bring a rock n' rollin' show of genre crossing folk/rock/country.
Concert begins at 7:00 pm at Von Baer Park in Providence. Please bring a chair or blanket to enjoy the show. Lucky Slice pizza will be available for pre-order and delivery to the park beginning the week of the concert.
