We have been gathering the pioneering and heritage stories of Utah since 2008 and presenting them using the entertainment arts; in rich narrations, songs, graphic arts, music and dance, in festivals and events, stories from individuals and groups in the melting pot that is Utah with all her geographic and cultural variety.
Along that journey, we have discovered the power of these stories to help bring families and communities closer together — to learn their family narratives, realize their true identity, and build resilience in today’s world.

Here we present the collections of those stories and make them available to YOU.

“A Canyon People’s Portrait” — CONCERT VIDEO DVD

Once we had completed our Legacy Series collection for Kane County — A Canyon Peoples’
Portrait — we knew it had to be debuted in a BIG WAY. So, we gathered up our courage and turned
it into a live stage event — a CONCERT! We had the luxury of Kane County’s own Symphony of the Canyons as our headliner, and dozens of local talent to feature in each of the fifteen story/songs, plus a chorus. We even hired some of Utah’s finest folk artists to be in a “pioneer band” to accompany the songs that needed that American/folk touch. We brought it together over weeks of rehearsals, and put the whole
hour-plus concert on in the Kanab High School auditorium, complete with a full camera
crew and sound and lighting support to turn it into a KEEPSAKE VIDEO.

Now, YOU can experience that singular event for yourself!
