Blue Grass Concert The Temple Squares
Time: 7:30 p.m.
Location: Midvale Performing Arts Center
Address: 695 West Center Street (7720 South)
Cost: Free - sponsored by The Midvale Arts Council
The Temple Squares are a local Midvale Country Bluegrass band who has played to rave reviews in venues from Park City to Lehi. They play hits from Johnny Cash to John Denver and back again. Leading the group is Jeff Rickard on lead guitar, mandolin, and vocals. He resides in Midvale with his wife Connie. His day job is with the venerable UTA. Also known as the Sound Guy for the MoTab, Milo Lefler jams on the upright bass. He lives in Midvale with his wife Susanne. Paige Moore brings guitar and vocals. She and her husband Brent are also Midvalians and she has recently joyously become a stay-at-home-mom to their absolutely adorable and brilliant ten-month-old daughter Miriam. You may recognize him as a lowly UTA bus driver, but we introduce him as Chris Larsen, the amazing banjo and dobro guy. He lives in Cottonwood Heights, but considers Midvale a second home. Rounding out the Squares are the on-again-off-again members. They include Shawn Crosgrove, who dances like a star, Hannah Israelson, who has a nice guitar and even nicer licks, and Scott Nelson, who can blow a train whistle like nobody else. They will be entertaining anybody who cares to come. And remember, it’s hip to be Square.
