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.

Introducing our “Legacy Series” of Story & Song Artisan Artbook/CDs — a Journey through art & music.

“Saga of the Sanpitch”
The early settlement of the Sanpitch River Valley came at a high cost to both settlers and the local tribes. This book brings the graphic beauty and stories punctuated by the songs that tell of that tender time in Sanpete County’s history.



“Valley of the Trails”
On the pathway to everywhere, Sevier Valley has seen ancient peoples, explorers, pack mule trains, and pioneer settlers. The Old Spanish Trail runs through its lush valleys. Read the stories, bask in the beautiful art, and savor the songs.



“A Canyon Peoples’ Portrait”
We gathered fifteen stories about the people who have called this canyon their home — Ancestral Puebloans, early settlers, and modern-day pioneers. Come savor the artwork as you enjoy the orchestral and americana/folk music in this vivid keepsake book.


“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!

“The Ghosts of Gardner Village”
The stories of this special group of pioneers are told in song in this album. Those stories are now housed in the collection of cabins and buildings at Historic Gardner Village. Come take a musical tour as we introduce you to the ghosts who still live within those walls.



“What I See” (Clive Romney)
Singer/Songwriter/Storyteller Clive Romney performs some of his favorite story/songs from Utah Pioneer Heritage Arts’ collection. Accompanied by a star-studded group of musicians, this album gives listeners a peek behind the curtain of what inspired Clive to begin gathering Utah’s stories in the first place.



“Set in Stone” (Clive Romney & Willingly)
Singer/Songwriter/Storyteller Clive Romney performs with “Willingly” (two close friends, Bob Morphis and Nathanael Daven-port). Like the early Mormon settlers, they came willingly because they had to. Herein you’ll find a collection of wonderful stories told in song in the studio version of their live concert.



“Story Road Utah — Dixie Episode”
As we have traveled the many roads of Utah, we have discovered songs all along the way. Here are some of the stories we found down in Southern Utah — the “Dixie” part of our state. First per-formed in concert, here is that collection to take you down that virtual highway.


“Stories from the Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area” by Clive Romney
Our live concerts always combined the stories with the songs, where our Legacy series sets the stories into print. Here, at last, are two volumes of stories and songs from the 6 counties in central and south-ern Utah that make up the Mormon Pioneer Nation-al Heritage Area.
