Fresh, homegrown music from Backhand, a Provo punk band headed to Kilby Court and Treefort Music Fest in Idaho next month. Treefort says: "Backhand is bringing the piping hot punk rock from Salt Lake City that you have been searching for. Jake Owens on guitar, Mitch Owens on bass, Matt Timmons on drums, and Ben Owens on vocals, are knocking on your door and tossing pebbles at your window, with the kind of music that can make a tiger purr and a gladiator weep. UTAH'S TOUGHEST TEAM. GOD'S FAVORITE BAND. BACKHAND."

SkyWatcher Leo T and his Many Cultures One Sky report. Tonight, check out the incredible evening sky as Venus and Jupiter come ever closer to conjunction on March 1st. Folklore meets science with the Inca's skyview in the Andes. An asteroid streaks across Europe. For more space news and sources, follow the SkyWatcher Leo T Facebook.

Symbria Patterson of Red Acre Center and Sara Patterson and TK Kern of Red Acre Farm CSA on legislation affecting the agrihood.

  • March 5: Fruit Tree Rootstock Bed-building Day, 9a-3p at The Og-woi People's Orchard and Garden. "Park on the street or in lots near Cottonwood Park, 1580 W. North Star Dr. (300 N.), SLC. then cross either of the two bridges. See map here. This community collective project is an example of modeling how food can be free and accessible. It involves helping a fruit orchard and associated vegetable gardens thrive, with the intent of providing the produce grown by the plants to the people in the community."
