Kilby Court

Kilby Court is a well-known music venue situated in Salt Lake City, Utah. It has the distinction of being the longest-running all-ages venue in the city. The venue was established in 1999 by Phil Sherburne, who converted his garage and woodworking studio into a concert hall to cater to Salt Lake's indie bands, as there were no small venues available at the time.

The venue is appreciated for its DIY, garage-style atmosphere that encourages close interaction between artists and the audience, providing an intimate experience similar to having a show in one's own backyard. The venue can accommodate up to 200 people.

Over the years, Kilby Court has hosted a variety of acts, including Doja Cat, Phoebe Bridgers, TV Girl, Current Joys, Haley Kiyoko, Cuco, Jay Rock, The Garden, Japanese Breakfast, Beach Bunny, Peach Pit, Anamanaguchi, joan, Flor, J.I.D., Porches, Vundabar, Marika Hackman, Soccer Mommy, Chelsea Cutler, Wild Child, Cub Sport, Christian French, Yellow Days, Omar Apollo, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, Post Animal, Jeremy Zucker, Sorority Noise, Injury Reserve, CHON, Hockey Dad, Molly Burch, Ritt Momney, The Backseat Lovers, Summer Salt, Cherry Glazerr, Slow Caves, and Hospitality.

Kilby Court is also known for its annual Kilby Court Block Party, which started in 2019 and has quickly grown since then. The festival features a multitude of artists and has become a significant event in Salt Lake City's music scene.

The venue is located at the end of a small downtown street and is housed in a garage, embodying a friendly, low-key atmosphere that celebrates the independent DIY spirit. Despite its humble appearance, Kilby Court has been a stepping stone for many artists on their way to fame.
