UNPLUGDSLC 2027

Where The World's Next Stars Meet The Sound of Utah.

Presented by the Utah Creative Arts Foundation, a Changing Lanes Entertainment Group Production.

Inspired by the energy and intimacy of UnplugdLA — a respected Los Angeles live music platform known for spotlighting emerging R&B, soul, hip hop, and live performance talent.

UNPLUGDSLC should become

  • Utah's premier live artist discovery platform
  • A bridge between Los Angeles and Salt Lake City
  • A multicultural showcase celebrating ALL backgrounds
  • A live-band-driven experience featuring the power of Changing Lanes Band
  • A safe, elevated creative space where raw talent becomes headliners

The key is diversity:

  • Male & female artists
  • Indie soul singers
  • Afro-fusion artists
  • Latin artists
  • Alternative pop artists
  • Neo-soul performers
  • Hip hop lyricists
  • Spoken word artists
  • Gospel/soul crossover acts
  • International artists
  • LGBTQ+ creatives
  • Genre-bending musicians

The Format

UNPLUGDSLC takes place on the first Sunday of every month at The Soundwell in Salt Lake City, starting May 2, 2027.

What Makes This Different

Changing Lanes = The House Band. Instead of karaoke tracks, every featured artist performs LIVE with real musicians, real arrangements, real emotion, and real stage production. This immediately elevates the experience beyond a standard showcase.
