The Nine Muses
While enjoying the 9th and 9th Street Festival at the Corner of 900 E. and 900 S. you are sure to notice a beautiful array of kinetic art. Call “The Nine Muses” it was installed in 2007. These works were the work of Seattle Artist, Troy Pillow. They are wonderful and constantly in motion.
Gross National Product – Self Described “Weird Music”
Gross National Product, comprised of four/five excellent Utah musicians, has been performing around Salt Lake City for 25 years now. The band has gone through many members, and todays group consists of three of the original musicians. Once upon a time, while playing at Juniors Tavern in 1983, we were asked to play ’Satin Doll’. We grudgingly complied, but Ralph the guitarist was angry. He turned his amp to eleven, and screamed through the tune. We all followed suit. Thus was born GNP. We play our original tunes without abandon, bordering often on avant garde, yet tight melodies and segues keep the band sounding tight and interesting. We are loud, then soft, moody, then rockin’, melodic, then outside. And we always play the songs differently. Improvisation is very important to us.
