Performance Lineup
Saturday September 27
Josie Loner
La música de Sturtz destaca por sus distintivas y relajantes armonías instrumentales y vocales. All Songs Considered de NPR describió a la banda como "una reconfortante bocanada de aire fresco que me devuelve a tiempos más simples". El cuarteto acústico – Andrew Sturtz [voces, guitarra], Courtlyn Carpenter [cello, armonías], Will Kuepper [bajo, armonías] y Jim Herlihy [banjo, armonías] – es sereno y folclórico, con voces melódicas que se elevan sobre los instrumentos de cuerda más graves. Sturtz lanzó su álbum debut "You’ve Done This Before" en agosto de 2021, y ahora están trabajando arduamente en la grabación de un segundo álbum que se lanzará en septiembre de 2024. Cuando no están tocando música, probablemente los encontrarás moliendo harina, cultivando, descansando en un arroyo o comiendo follaje nativo.

LEAVING A TRACE.
Preview Leaving a Trace, the Moab Theater Project's
place-based musical theater!
4:45 p.m. in front of the main stage.
Catch the full performance on one of three nights, in the place, (Sand Flats Recreation Area) on a walking musical theater journey! These are ticketed events.
Leaving a Trace is created with, by, and for Moab. Told with humor, heart, and a touch of desert magic, the story follows four playful park rangers who accidentally disrupt the fragile desert ecosystem.
The show invites audiences to reflect on the traces we leave behind—ecologically, culturally, and spiritually—and asks how we might live in “right relation” with this place and with one another.
Leaving a Trace by the Moab Theater Project was partially funded by Moab Arts & The City of Moab's Public Art Funding.
Tickets are SOLD OUT, waitlist only.
James Hardy
& The Fire
The Cross-Eyed Possum es una banda de Americana/Newgrass liderada por gemelos idénticos que toca con la energía de una banda de folk-rock a través de la intimidad creada como un trío acústico. Su música es una amalgama de su amor colectivo por el apasionado rock ‘n’ roll, su experiencia con el sentimiento libre y honesto encontrado en festivales acústicos/bluegrass, y el tiempo dedicado a las tendencias aventureras de la composición de jazz y música clásica mientras asistían a universidades. La banda está celebrando actualmente su segundo álbum de estudio, “Out On My Own.”
