March 29 marks the return of pianist Jon Schmidt with BYU’s award-winning male a capella group, Vocal Point. These two artists met with great success last year when they performed together for the first time at Tuacahn’s annual Christmas in the Canyon holiday concert. This spring, however, they’ll be joined on stage by another award-winning a capella group from BYU, the ladies of Noteworthy.

One of the season’s most anticipated events is the appearance of rising star Colbie Caillat on Friday, April 4. Caillat’s hit single “Bubbly” has been climbing the music charts for several months and the demand for tickets to this event is already high.

Country music superstar Deana Carter appears in the amphitheatre on Friday, April 11, and will surely satisfy fans with live renditions of many of her popular hits such as “Strawberry Wine.”

BYU’s Dancers Company appears at Tuacahn for the first time on Saturday, April 26. The acclaimed group ignites audiences with its wide spectrum of dances styles that range from dramatic to comedic and lyrical to jazz. A winner in the American College Dance Festival competition, the company presents a program of contemporary dance at its best.

Kenny Loggins makes his Tuacahn debut on Wednesday, April 30 for a rare stop in Southern Utah. From Loggins & Messina classics like “Danny’s Song” to signature solo tracks including “Celebrate Me Home,” “Footloose,” and the GRAMMY®-winning “This Is It,” Kenny Loggins’ expansive body of work speaks volumes with its warmth and directness.

The Osmond Brothers, seasoned entertainers recognized throughout the world for fifty years, recently filmed a television special for PBS scheduled to air this year.

Sheena Easton hasn't slowed down one bit since her heyday of hits in the '80s. The soulful Scot continues to perform, taking audiences on a stroll down memory lane with a catalog of greatest hits. Now you can enjoy Sheena’s music live when she performs some of her most memorable hits on Friday, May 16 at Tuacahn. You’ll surely recognize many of her recognizable hit sons such as “Strut,” “The Lover in Me,” “U Got the Look,” “We've Got Tonight” -- her duet with Kenny Rogers -- and the James Bond theme “For Your Eyes Only.”

Everyone’s favorite summertime band, The Beach Boys, returns to Tuacahn on Friday, May 23 for a special encore engagement following last summer’s sold-out concert.
