On March 28, 2026, three bands played Leatherheads in Draper. Angela H. Brown was inducted into the Rock Salt Hall of Fame. USU researchers presented on women in Utah arts. A few dozen people showed up to watch. This is the permanent record of that night.
Rock Salt Spring Showcase — International Women in Music Day
March 28, 2026 · Leatherheads · Draper, UT · Doors 7:30 PM
The night was emceed by Angela H. Brown herself, which is exactly the kind of thing Angela does: show up to her own induction and then immediately get to work making sure everyone else's night goes right. USU researchers presented on women in Utah arts between sets. There was supposed to be an info booth near the door.
Magda-Vega
Opening Set · 8:30 PM · 45 minutes
Magda-Vega opened the night with a 45-minute set. First band up, which is the hardest slot on any bill — the room is still filling, the sound is still getting dialed in, and nobody has had enough to drink yet. They held it.

Shrink the Giant
Second Set · 9:30 PM · 1 hour
Shrink the Giant had the middle slot and an hour to fill it. By 9:30 the room had settled in. A full hour of material from a band with the kind of name that sticks.

Why This Page Exists
Bands play shows. Shows end. The photos get buried in phones. The videos don't get posted. The night disappears. That is the problem Rock Salt was built to solve.
This page is the permanent home for March 28, 2026. Every band that played, every set that happened, the Hall of Fame induction — it all lives here. When someone asks what happened at the first Rock Salt Spring Showcase, this is the answer.
