Would it really be summer in Utah if Michael Franti or Ben Harper weren’t performing a concert somewhere?
Those popular musicians are part of the lineup of the second season of the Deer Valley Concert Series, unveiled Tuesday. Four concerts were announced in March, and three more announced in April, Deer Valley and The State Room Presents said.
Here are the shows, all scheduled for Deer Valley’s Snow Park Outdoor Amphitheater:
June 30 • Michael Franti & Spearhead, which blends hip-hop with funk, reggae, jazz, folk and rock. Reggae star Ziggy Marley will open the show.
