CONTRIBUTED CONTENT — Have you stopped by The Terrace at Red Cliffs lately? It’s a new outdoor area featuring exciting amenities surrounded by great shopping and fabulous food.
This spring, Red Cliffs aims to further showcase The Terrace, among other recent improvements, with a concert series featuring dazzling performances from a diverse lineup of musicians based right here in Southern Utah.
“We really have a mix of great local artists,” general manager Cory Ashby said.
The spring concert series will kick off with back-to-back performances from Groovonix on Saturday, April 20, and Identity Crisis on Saturday, April 27.
Groovonix, the ultimate fusion of rock, disco and funk, was formed in response to the age-old request that bands have heard for as long as there has been live music: “Can you play something we can dance to?” With beats that compel listeners to move and grooves that are simply irresistible, the band is Southern Utah’s ticket to a night of pure musical enjoyment.
Groovonix brings a unique blend of regional flavors to their electrifying sound. Hailing from diverse backgrounds, the band’s membership includes lead singer Louis Cheramie from New Orleans, guitarist Jerry Love from Detroit, keyboardist Tony Ricci from Southern California and Jeff Culligan from Salt Lake City on drums.
Identity Crisis has been rocking venues and events in and around the St. George area since 2012. The band features local professionals with a passion for high-energy live performances guaranteed to entertain any music lover.
Identity Crisis plays songs from the ’60s to today, with an emphasis on ’80s and ’90s classic rock. The lineup includes John Liddell on lead vocals, Bill Frazier on guitar, Mike Leach on guitar, Dallon Whitney on bass, Arne Olsen on keys and Jim Haendiges on drums.
Red Cliffs will continue to support and highlight exciting local talent all season long.
Next, The Ed Tracey Band will take the stage on Saturday, May 11, with a high-energy blend of blues, classic rock, R&B and top 40 hits. Offering good vibes and heavy grooves, Mr. OK & The Last Light are sure to get everybody moving with their unique mix of funk, hip-hop and reggae on Saturday, May 25.
Each concert lasts from 7-9 p.m. and is free to attend. Limited seating will be provided, so guests are encouraged to bring a chair or a blanket and make themselves comfortable on the grassy area near the stage. Concertgoers can browse a variety of vendor booths and grab a bite to eat while they rock out.
Red Cliffs, located at 1770 E. Red Cliffs Drive in St. George, has been Southern Utah’s premier retail destination since opening in 1990. As the only major indoor shopping center between Las Vegas and the Wasatch Front, it features more than 60 stores and nearly 450,000 square feet of retail space.
With grass areas, waterfalls and seating built into the landscape, The Terrace is the centerpiece of a significant rejuvenation project that aligns the mall’s offerings with what today’s customers want and need. That includes even more shopping and dining options, like the Al’s Sporting Goods, Tillys, WannaCinn and Kaiseki Sushi locations that opened last year.
“It’s a great place not only to shop but to spend your time,” Ashby said. “Holding these concerts and other free events throughout the year is a way that we can give back to the community for supporting us as we continue to grow.”
