From Kimball Junction to Deer Valley, you can find booze, blues and food.
There’s no better way to enjoy summer in Park City than listening to live music and sampling the best comestibles this mountain town has to offer. There are a variety of outstanding live music options happening regularly all through the sunny months – in all corners of Park City! Here are a few ways to get your feet tapping:
Kimball Junction
Father-son duo Lance and Jackson Sterling are bringing their extensive entertainment venue experience to the new Sterling Steak and Lounge in the Redstone Shopping Center. Lance previously helped expand the House Of Blues in Las Vegas from three venues to ten. His son Jackson grew up in the restaurant industry, and they share a passion for good food, music and family. The New York-style steakhouse brings an elevated, classic menu to Park City, including starters such as as crab cakes, bleu cheese wedge salad and french onion soup. Prime cuts include porterhouse, filet mignon with lobster tails, scallops or shrimp and tomahawk steak, with sides like garlic mashed potatoes, roasted pancetta Brussels and asparagus. Your top-notch meal ends with a decadent dessert like chocolate lava cake, crème brûlée or tiramisu. There is an exciting live music lineup, with a house band that plays 70s and 80s rock, and upcoming featured guests such as Terence Hansen Trio (Sunday, July 24), Joyce From The Future (Friday, July 29) and Telluride Meltdown (Saturday, July 30). See here for a full rundown of upcoming shows.
Canyons Village

There is no cover charge – anyone who wishes to attend must simply order dinner! The menu includes goodies like Moroccan-spiced turkey meatballs, blackened shrimp and polenta, pork osso bucco and vegetarian wild mushroom stroganoff. Save room for the house-made desserts! There is also beer, wine and craft cocktails made from local spirits. See the music calendar here.
