Cottonwood Heights celebrates holidays with Holiday

  • 2023-11-27
The aptly named musician Tony Holiday will be performing at The Hog Wallow Pub in Cottonwood Heights this weekend.

The event venue, the Hog Wallow Pub stands as the latest incarnation of an age-old bar steeped in history. Originating in 1947, the pub was converted from a bunkhouse by a veteran of World War II. It has been known by various names since, culminating in its current identity under Keith Biesinger's ownership. The pub has accolades like "Best Bar Beyond Downtown" in City Weekly’s.

Since relocating to Salt Lake City from Memphis in 2017, Tony Holiday has played a pivotal role in the city's revival of soulful blues. Being among a tight-knit group of musicians, Holiday finds inspiration in the rich musical legacy of Memphis, breathing new energy into its history.

"Motel Mississippi," one of his albums, was crafted at Jim Dickinson's esteemed Zebra Ranch studio in Mississippi. This album fuses elements of Delta blues, Mississippi, and Memphis. It also features two covers and multiple original tracks that capture the essence of hypnotic blues and vibrant juke joint rhythms.

The cost to attend this event will be $10. Tickets can be bought through the venue’s listing. Poster printing can be a great way to provide details about performers at events such as this one.

The event will be located at the Hog Wallow Pub, 3200 E Big Cottonwood Canyon Rd, Cottonwood Heights. It will take place this Friday, December 1, starting at 9:30 pm and continuing after midnight.
