The first of two shows happening on Saturday night takes place in SLC, as we see the debut EP from Shadow D. The SLC-based rapper is a bit of an enigma, as he's kept himself to smaller shows and venues while releasing music on Soundcloud, but he's earned some rep in the community and garnered a small amount of buzz during his time. He'll be releasing his self-titled album as part of a charity show event at The Hide Out on State Street along with Poet, Sonage, Deadwalkers and DJ Chunk. Tickets are a $5 donation and the music kicks off at 8 p.m.

Meanwhile, down in Provo, we'll see the latest from Allred. Not too long ago, there was a point in our music scene's history where John Allred would have a new release every six months or so, the vast majority of them under the Allred name as a solo artist, with a backing band for his live performances. A short time ago, his discography was essentially wiped clean from the web, and while you can still find some of his albums through iTunes and Spotify, it appears he's started a clean slate with only his 2016 album Seasons and side project Forest Eyes are available. As part of this new change, Allred has a fresh EP titled Brave New World. You can pick up a copy on Saturday at Velour as he plays with Festive People, Michael Barrow and Soft Cyanide opening. Tickets are $10 and the doors open at 8 p.m.
