ALTERNATIVE ROCK BAND DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL TO HEADLINE WINTER DEW TOUR’S MUSIC STAGE AT WENDY’S INVITATIONAL, JAN. 15
Free Concert To Take Place on Ogden’s Historic 25th Street
Dashboard Confessional will headline the Winter Dew Tour’s Music Series presented by Verizon Wireless on Friday, January 15. The concert, also featuring local opening act Codi Jordan, will be held in the 200 block of Ogden’s Historic 25th Street (Grant Ave.) as a part of the second stop of the 2009-10 season, the Wendy’s Invitational, taking place at Snowbasin. The Friday night concert is free to the public and will begin at 7pm.
Originally the side project of lead singer Chris Carrabba, Dashboard Confessional recorded its first album Swiss Army Romance, releasing it in 2000 while Carrabba was still the front man of Further Seems Forever. However, it was the band’s sophomore album, The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most and its single “Screaming Infidelities,” that brought Dashboard Confessional to the forefront. The music video for “Screaming Infidelities” garnered the group multiple accolades, including the MTV2 award at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2002. More successes followed with A Mark, A Mission, A Brand, A Scar and Dusk and Summer, both of which peaked at No. 2 on the U.S. Billboard charts, with the song “Vindicated” being featured in the end credits of Spider-Man 2.
The band’s sixth album, Alter the Ending, was released on November 10, with the first single, “Belle of the Boulevard.”
Dashboard Confessional, along with opener Codi Jordan – a rock-driven, local Utah group with elements of reggae, folk and hip hop – will perform Friday night, January 15 on the 200 block of Ogden’s Historic 25th Street in Ogden. Friday night’s concert will begin at 7pm with gates opening one hour prior to the start of the show. The entire show will be free to the public.
The Snow Safety division at Snowbasin will host a “Know Before you Go” Avalanche Awareness class on Saturday, January 9th. The class will be held in Earl’s Lodge at Snowbasin, and will begin at 6:30 p.m. There is no charge for the hour-long class, which will be presented by GR Fletcher and Frank Waikhart of Snowbasin, and Craig Gordon of the Utah Avalanche Center.
As a follow-up to the class, Snowbasin Ski Patrol will lead a field day the following morning. Those that attend the class on Saturday are invited to meet at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday, January 10th at bottom of Needles Gondola. Ski Patrol will guide a 2-hour practical session on the mountain, where they will talk about control work at Snowbasin and backcountry safe travel. Proper backcountry gear and safety will also be discussed. There is no charge for the mountain session with the purchase of a lift ticket.
Snowbasin is committed to the safety, education and enjoyment of its guests. “Our patrol is available as a resource to guests on our mountain,” said Frank Waikart, Snowbasin Ski Patrol. “This outreach effort is intended to enhance guests skiing experience. We will provide tools for skiers to explore their own boundaries safely through education.”
