Park City Institute will add another dash of country and a pinch of the blues to its already stacked Big Stars, Bright Nights summer concert season at the Eccles Center for the Performing Arts.
Executive Director Ari Ioannides announced on Friday that Justin Moore, winner of the Academy of Country Music Best New Artist award in 2011, will hit the stage on Saturday, July 24, and also said five-time Grammy Award-winning blues guitarist Robert Cray will make an encore visit to town on Tuesday, Aug. 10.
“Justin is doing an arena tour, and they called us at the last minute and said he was coming through the Salt Lake/Park City area and asked if we would like to host him,” Ioannides said. “Since we know fairly well what most folks charge, my first response was there was no way we could bring Justin Moore to Park City, but they said they he was so anxious to get on our stage that they would work with us to make it happen.”
