Homegrown Music Tonight: West Max

West Max is back in Utah after time away in England and a broken heart to write about. Tonight, he goes solo and shares some of his favorites and latest, Lions Tigers and Bears.

Rallies & Resources Spotlight (full list here):

  • Nov. 30: Last day to apply for Love Your Blocks in SLC. Chimalli Hernandez-Garcia explains the mini-grant process for neighbors to revitalize spaces on Salt Lake City’s West Side and Ballpark neighborhoods.

    • Potential projects are evaluated for their community impact and sustainability, from how they’ll bring neighbors together to how they transform vacant or deteriorating spaces. The City encourages creativity and collaboration. Eligible neighborhoods in Salt Lake City include Glendale, Poplar Grove, Fairpark, Rose Park, Westpointe, Jordan Meadows, Guadalupe and Ballpark.

    • Applications close on November 30, 2025, and are available in both English and Spanish. For more information, including a map of all past and current projects, visit www.slc.gov/loveyourblock.

  • Ongoing: USANA Kids Eat Holiday Food Bag Program. USANA Foundation’s Michelle Benedict asks for your help to ensure the 1-in-6 Utah kids living with food insecurity don't go hungry on our watch.
