Welcome to the 9th and 9th Street Festival’s Offical Website!

Held at the intersection of 900 South and 900 East in Salt Lake City, the 9th and 9th Street Festival has become annual event where everyone from the city converges to enjoy food, fun and music.

This years event will be held all day on September 18th, 2010 and promises to be better than ever with an amazing line-up of performers and an eclectic mix  of local artists, purveyors of fine foods and delights for both children and adults!

Sponsored by the East Liberty Community Council, the 9th and 9th Street Festival was conceived as a way to bring neighbors together in what has quickly become one of the city’s most unique, eclectic and desirable neighborhoods.  This is a celebration of a neighborhood put on by neighbors. Its free, its fun, bring the dog, the kids, the stroller and come on down to join the fun. We invite musicians, dancers, artists and crafters to make the day.

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.
