Utah’s One Thing: Josh “The Herbalist” Williams

Standard

Since we started our show in 2016, we have been asking our guests at the end of every New Utah interview, “What is the one thing that you would tell someone visiting Utah they had to do before leaving?”

Josh, The Herbalist, Williams of GreenThread Herbs joined us for episode 104 and what Josh had to say about the one thing in Utah, “Salt Lake is fantastic. I wouldn’t live anywhere else.” Josh said he loves living in a place that you still get to stick up for yourself and there is still space to fight for something. Josh also said to visit a music venue like Metro Music Hall. He said that when bands come back to a location often it says a lot about the city. Metro is just one of many amazing small venues in Salt Lake City. Urban Lounge, Kilby Court, The State Room, In The Venue, The CommonWealth Room, Park City Live, and The Garage are also fantastic SLC music venues!

Ep.32 You can’t make me be Gothic.

Standard

Welcome to the New Year New Utah listeners!!! We hope everyone made it in safely. Sit down, sit down.

Our first guest of 2017 is front man, Vision (aka Derek Rhodes), of Utah’s Own Goth/Metal band, Tragic Black! Which we might add, has been around for 16+ years. We chat with Derek about the evolving club and music scene in Salt Lake City. Remember Confetti’s? Derek and Chris sure do! Have you been to Area 51 lately? Perhaps you should, just for Nostalgia. We get a feel for Tragic Blacks trips around the world and fans in Europe Vs. fans in the U.S.

Vision and Tragic Black have a gig coming up at Metro Music Hall on January 14th! Visit Visions YOU TUBE channel for a taste Tragic Black. You can find them on ITUNES and Spotify too! The New Utah was super stoked he even got in stage makeup for us!!! Also, don’t forget to check out the rest of Derek’s bands that he is singing for that he told us about!(Spectre Theatre, Precariat, and Corvid)
