Venue review

The musician's read

Ken Sanders Rare Books is an independent Salt Lake City bookstore and cultural space with an intimate concert series. Experimental guitar, singer-songwriter and literary-minded performances fit a room where the audience is likely to listen closely. Artists with unusual material, storytelling or a strong conceptual angle should make better sense than high-volume party bands.

Feldman's Deli is independent Salt Lake City deli with live-musician dates and community entertainment. The programming spans Blues, acoustic, singer-songwriter, and local, giving artists a useful sense of what already works in the room. 2026 artist schedules verify live performance at the deli. The production setup includes limited — 2026 live-artist bookings ; full-band production not. The venue makes the most sense for acts that can tailor the show to the audience already using the space. That gives the venue a clearer purpose for musicians than a space that books music only occasionally.
