Rock musician Des Rocs took a break from his tour with The Blue Stones and headlined a show in Salt Lake City on 7/17/22.
Back in July, rock musician Des Rocs came and blew the roof off Salt Lake City's Urban Lounge, on a break from his tour with The Blue Stones. I attended with expectations of great performance and was given far more than that. From capturing the crowd's heart. a speech about being told to follow your dreams, to a seemly never-ending encore, Des Rocs gave a hell of a show.
After a local rock band, Suit Up Solider, opened, Des Rocs took the stage. The crowd was full of ecstatic, passionate, and long-time fans. Des was no stranger to this crowd, as they were full of nothing but pure love for him and his music. He played a mix of his older music such as "Used to the Darkness," and "Maybe, I," along with new ones off his debut album, A Real Good Person In A Real Bad Place, like "MMC," and "Imaginary Friends." He sounded fantastic, killing it at every turn.
Some of the highlights of this show were the crowd interaction. He sang a bit of Queen's "We Will Rock You," with the crowd, and pulled a fan on stage to play the drums during it. He gave a speech on being in Union Square in Manhattan at 3 AM a few years ago, hopeless and lost when a man approached him and urged him to picture his dream. His dream being on stage, playing his music for fans, with mutual love and passion all around.
Towards the end of the 2-hour long set, he pulled a dozen or more fans on stage to dance while he sang and played. It was like a music video coming to life, so cool.
It was a fantastic show and a great experience. He's a performer like no other and gives you his all. I can't wait to see him again.
