Mama LongLegs to perform at Logan's Elevation Rock Gym

These ladies don't mess around. An outfit for upcoming folk-americana and bluegrass music, Mama LongLegs, a band local to Cache Valley, isn't ready to give into mainstream music pressures.

The all-female band will perform at Logan's Elevation Rock Gym on Friday.

The members of the band have performed at the gym before, but they hope to have stronger turnout this weekend due to increased advertising.

Allie Harris, a guitarist and the lead singer for the band, said she hopes to plant more people into the gym for the event.

"I would say we didn't get the word out as much the first time," Harris said. "I'm hoping to draw more of a crowd not only to the concert, but also to Elevation. At the very least it's something to do in Logan on a Friday night."

Kaysi Mueller, the assistant manager at Elevation Rock Gym, said more people seem interested in the event than before.

"We've been advertising a little more here too, to the point where people have been asking about it," Mueller said. "We hope it brings people into the gym and they think 'Woah this is cool. We should come here more often.' It'd be sick if the show brought in more gym memberships."

Harris said she acknowledges an older audience enjoying the band's music as compared to a younger crowd.

"I would say most of the folk people are 25 years old and older," Harris said. "Not many kids listen to a lot of folk. They're more into hip-hop and rap, so we definitely cater to an older audience."

Mueller said the environment of the gym makes for a great venue for those who want to be there.

"I think because the rock climbing community is so laid back and relaxed, everyone here should be chill," Mueller said. "The people who own the gym are really relaxed and this is a good way to get business. A concert where the genre isn't super crazy and is just family-friendly. Our goal is to include everyone."

Harris said she tries to work with the community to be more known and trusted.

"We've become new people in the valley, interested in getting together and working," Harris said. "We try to work with the community to add an experience. But for me, I always come back to the folk stuff."
