Sunday nights

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 the Sunday before each Motown Monday at The Soundwell in Salt Lake City.

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.
