“In these unprecedented times, the health, both physical and mental, and safety of our artists, our staff and our attendees comes first,” said Ben Anderson, founder of Park City Song Summit. “Safety comes before our bottom line and before politics. We want live music to continue and are mapping our logistics to ensure that it will, as safely as possible.”

“We will monitor this situation closely as reports and data regarding new cases and hospital admissions due to COVID-19 patients continue to come in across the country and specifically, in Summit County and its surrounding counties. We will also closely follow reports of festival and tour cancellations and enhanced COVID-19 protocols at various events and by various artists.

“We believe that working together we can get this right,” Anderson said.
