This spring, Red Cliffs will further showcase The Terrace, among other recent improvements, with a concert series featuring dazzling performances from a diverse lineup of musicians based right here in Southern Utah.
“We love to support local artists as they grow,” general manager Cory Ashby said.
The spring concert series will continue with performances from The Ed Tracey Band on Saturday, May 11, and Mr. OK & The Last Light on Saturday, May 25. Both of these bands previously played at Red Cliffs and were a hit with audiences, Ashby said. Now, they’re back by popular demand.
Showcasing masterful musicianship, The Ed Tracey Band plays a dynamic mix of blues, classic rock, R&B and top 40 hits that’s just plain fun. The group came together as an offshoot of the Famous Unknowns, which performed dance tunes while dressed as Elvis, Neil Diamond and the Village People.
Ed Tracey leads the show with his high-energy antics and hilarious crowd interactions, even doing the hula hoop while singing hits from Journey, Led Zeppelin, Bruno Mars and The Black Crowes, to name a few. Based in Washington City, the band’s membership also features Gary Huff on vocals and lead guitar, Shane Stewart on bass, Steve Flaig on drums and Jedrick Fossati on keyboards and guitar.
Offering good vibes and heavy grooves, Mr. OK & The Last Light are sure to get everybody moving with their unique mix of funk, hip-hop and reggae. Local artist Mr. OK, best known for his signature sound that incorporates live looping technology, originally assembled The Last Light as a backing band to breathe new life into his solo arrangements. However, it didn’t take long for all six musicians to realize the enormous potential of their collaboration.
Every member of The Last Light brings an impressive musical résumé to the table. They’ve been creating together since the summer of 2021, blending various influences to develop a style of groove music unlike anything else in Southern Utah’s music scene. Their debut EP, “Music is the Medicine,” was released last year.
Each concert lasts from 7-9 p.m. and is free to attend. Limited seating will be provided, so guests are encouraged to bring a chair or a blanket and make themselves comfortable on the grassy area near the stage. Concertgoers can browse a variety of vendor booths and grab a bite to eat while they rock out.
There’s always something happening at Red Cliffs, Southern Utah’s place to shop, eat and play. All month long, Red Cliffs and Premier Health & Wellness will be celebrating moms with a series of spa day giveaways. Follow @ShopRedCliffs on Facebook and Instagram for more details.
And don’t miss the Paper Jams Music Fest on Saturday, June 1, from 7-9 p.m. Presented by Cloud 9 Vapor, this free mini music festival will feature Acoustic Adventure, Sky Allen Ledesma, No Proof and more of Southern Utah’s hottest emerging artists, plus prizes.
Red Cliffs, located at 1770 E. Red Cliffs Drive in St. George, has been Southern Utah’s premier retail destination since opening in 1990. As the only major indoor shopping center between Las Vegas and the Wasatch Front, it features more than 60 stores and nearly 450,000 square feet of retail space.
With grass areas, waterfalls and seating built into the landscape, The Terrace is the centerpiece of a significant rejuvenation project that aligns the mall’s offerings with what today’s customers want and need. That includes even more shopping and dining options, like the Al’s Sporting Goods, Tillys, WannaCinn and Kaiseki Sushi locations that opened last year.
“It’s a great place not only to shop but to spend your time,” Ashby said. “Holding these concerts and other free events throughout the year is a way that we can give back to the community for supporting us as we continue to grow.”
