Covering Bob Moss—A Bob Moss Visual Art Tribute and Tribute Album/Listening Party
Although we lost Bob Moss five years ago, The heart of the Utah treasure—and rare true gentlemen—still beats within SLC’s art and music scene, and he’s about to get the accolade he’s due. Since Moss was a dual-medium talent, working in visual art as well as music, this is a two-headed tribute. Tonight represents the opening of experimental art gallery God Hates Robots’ exhibition, Covering Moss—A Bob Moss Visual Art Tribute, where noteworthy local artists like Sri Whipple, Trent Call, Lincoln Lysager and Mary Toscano “cover” Bob’s singular, signature woodburned works. That’s a helluva concept, itself, taking a cue from how the music world honors its greats. It’s fitting, then, that the evening is also the official release of the limited-edition two-disc, 24-song Son of Deseret, where dozens of local Utah musicians—including Moss collaborators and friends like Mike Kirkland, Bad Brad Wheeler, Eli Morrison, Joe Judd, Greg Midgley, Aldine Strychnine, Chubby Bunny, George St. John and (full disclosure) a couple of guys from City Weekly (yours truly and Brian Staker) teamed up with real musicians Dave Boogert and Steve Morrison—cover Bob’s ingenuous and ingenious songs. Tonight, all our hearts beat with Bob’s. Covering Bob Moss runs through Feb. 13. (Randy Harward) God Hates Robots, 314 W. 300 South Ste. 250, 6-9 p.m., free; godhatesrobots.com
