About the Artists

Beatnik
Thu, July 10, 7:30pm

Beatnik started as a side project while I was touring in another band at the time pre-Covid. We had just stopped in Portland and I picked up a bunch of Beat literature from Powell's bookstore. Reading stories of these motley characters hitchhiking, listening to jazz, discussing zen philosophy etc. really resonated with me at the time, and I took on the "Beatnik" moniker.

I moved to Utah in 2012, up in Logan, but moved to SLC area in April of 2024. Since then I've continued writing, playing keys for Sad Cowboy and Strange Familia(other SLC staples), as well as producing other artist's songs at my home studio.

My musical influences of late are: Parcels, Ginger Root, Donny Benét, Tatsuro Yamashita, George Duke, and George Benson

About the branch

The Sprague Branch's high-gabled English Tudor style building has served the Sugar House community for three generations. The building was selected by the American Library Association in 1935 as the "Most Beautiful Branch Library in America." The two-level facility was opened in 1928 and has been renovated several times as use continues to increase. An expansion project to add a new public meeting room and remodel the building was completed in April 2001, which increased the square footage to 13,058. As the Sugar House shopping district sprouted up, the Sprague Branch continues to hold its historical charm and provide community members with outstanding public library services. Free parking is available to the east and south of the building, and free wi-fi access is provided throughout the library.
