Seize The Fire

Seize The Fire is a rising alternative band from Salt Lake City, formed by Marcus Augenstein and Dalan Davenport in 2024. Blending acoustic warmth with cinematic synths and raw emotion, their sound lands somewhere between Ed Sheeran and The Script—personal, powerful, and unafraid to burn bright. Their debut EP, Aurora Borealis, is a moody and luminous reflection on nearly a decade of lived experience, with standout track “Rumination” leading the way. Catch them live for the very first time on August 16th at The State Room.

Kal Mara is an emerging Salt Lake City-based artist known for her introspective and genre-blending music that explores themes of identity, grief, and personal transformation. Her debut album, Catalyst, released on May 31, 2024, is a lo-fi indie-pop journey through the phases of grief following a relationship's end. The album's soundscape evokes cityscapes, beaches, and intimate spaces, capturing the healing process through presence and reflection.
