Over the next week, we've got old faces and new faces releasing brand new music at release shows. All three of them look to be pretty cool in each band's respective genres.
The local visionary managing several badass businesses.
If you've never had the opportunity to see one of Bianca Velasquez's projects in action, do yourself a favor and go over this list when you're done reading this interview. This SLC resident is a member of the band Dream Slut, the creator of Happybutton Cartoons, a co-creator for Piñata TV, manager for several local bands, and creator of neon signs for a small business she founded called Neon Bite.
On Sunday, Sept. 18, Fratelli Ristorante in Sandy will host a "locals only" wine pairing dinner featuring wines from two locally owned (Utah) wineries: IG (Iron Gate) and Kiler Grove, along with locally produced menu items. Seatings are available from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
