Contemplating this year’s garden — garlic, beans, peas, squash, lettuce etc. — I wonder how much is native and what is non-native. (The term “illegal alien” popped into my head, but it seems silly to ...

On Aug. 1, for example, they have to choose among Bob Dylan at Usana Amphitheatre, The Cult at The Depot, The National at the Twilight Concert Series in Pioneer Park, Megadeth at the Maverik Center or the country rockers Due West at the Ed Kenley Amphitheater in Layton. The decisions are just as tough on July 19, when Steve Martin performs at the Deer Valley Music Festi...

Don’t accuse Vampire Weekend of jumping on the bandwagon. The indie-rock band was formed in the dorm rooms of Columbia University in 2006, a full two years before “Twilight” burst into theaters. Still based in New York, the band released its third album, “Modern Vampires of the City,” recently. The album blends world-music influences with modern pop and rock. It also explores weighty issues such as faith and mortality with upbeat melodies that belie the seriousness of the lyrics and themes. Lead...

Bluffdale • Families of veterans who want to scatter their ashes but still honor their memories with markers have a new option: the Utah Veterans Cemetery & Memorial Park in Bluffdale. Just in time for Memorial Day, the cemetery has finished a $4.5 million project to expand and upgrade the cemetery, including a hillside landscaped in bark, trees and flowers, where cremated remains can be scattered.

Vampire Weekend will kick off the Red Butte Garden concert series with a sold-out concert on May 21.
