Your Guide to TONIGHT'S Free Downtown Provo Rooftop Concert: Ryan Innes with The New Electric Sound and Amy Whitcomb
hosted by C. Jane Kendrick with Justin Hackworth!
And kicking off the night is the lovely Amy Whitcomb, whose incredible voice blew viewers and judges away on The Sing Off and The Voice. She says she “sings because it sets my soul on fire.” We’re pretty sure it’ll do the same thing to yours.
Join us, won’t you?
Can't be with us in person? No problem. Here's the live feed:
FAQS:
What time and where? Show starts at 7:30, "doors" open at 6:00, as always we suggest you get there early to set up your blankets, low chairs, bean bags, mattresses, flying carpets, bear rugs etc. The location is on the third level of the Provo Town Square parking terrace at 100 North & 100 West.
Who should come? This show is great for everyone! September usually presents our biggest crowd of the year, so take that into consideration if you like personal space.
What's the weather? Well, we're hoping for dry skies. If you have any pull with the weather Gods could you build a case for us? If you don't, bring a light jacket just in case.
Where should I park? Here.

September’s Rooftop show (Friday September 6) is tonight. That means school’s back in session and we don’t mean academics. We mean come get schooled by our September headliner: soul singer Ryan Innes, fresh off his stint on Team Usher on The Voice. Come learn the difference that true blue soul, absolute authenticity, and a crazy butter voice make. Technically, he sings just about the same notes as anybody else, but when HE sings them something else happens, something visceral, something spiritual, something that gets up in your goosebumps and heartstrings. Sure, he’s got the chops to bend and swoop and growl and belt and otherwise get the ladies into huffs. But it’s the conviction that makes you say: I BELIEVE.
You won’t wanna miss The New Electric Sound either, who are back after playing last September’s Rooftop show with Fictionist. For those of you who weren’t lucky enough to be there, The New Electric Sound is the sound of the Strokes stepping into a Delorean, going back in time to the 50s and 60s, and going on a bus tour with Buddy Holly and The Beach Boys. Also: matching cardigans.
And kicking off the night is the lovely Amy Whitcomb, whose incredible voice blew viewers and judges away on The Sing Off and The Voice. She says she “sings because it sets my soul on fire.” We’re pretty sure it’ll do the same thing to yours.
