The Stolen
Announce North American
Spring Tour
Latest Single "Rooftop" feat. Jake Miller Out Now
Old Bridge, NJ - March 1, 2019 - The boys of the pop-rock outfit, The Stolen, have announced they will be hitting the road later this year for a North American tour, kicking off on May 31 in Philadelphia, PA, and wrapping up on June 26 in Washington D.C.
For a list of full dates, please see below or visit: https://www.thestolenmusic.com/tour.
The band shares, "This next tour is extremely important to us as it marks the beginning of our first LP. We took the last few months off from rigorous touring to finish up the record we've been working on for a year. We can't wait to bring this album to life."
Before they honed their songwriting skills to craft inviting pop hooks and kinetic guitar melodies, the four New Jersey natives who make up The Stolen started off as a group of friends who explored their love of music through learning and performing AC/DC songs together, ripping covers of classic rock anthems and Motown tunes at their grade school talent shows.
Almost 10 years later in 2013, the band started officially releasing music. For the release of their single "Chardonnay" in 2015, they worked with producer Paul Levitt (All Time Low, Have Mercy), and began the transition from their pop-punk beginnings to put more focus on their pop sensibilities. 2016 marked the arrival of their self-released, self-produced EP, I'm So Dead, and in 2017, the band released their most collaborative effort to-date, Fragile Heart.
Over the past few years, The Stolen has been recognized and heralded by notable tastemakers such as MTV, Billboard, and Alternative Press, have shared the stage with bands and artists such as Neon Trees, The All American Rejects, Jake Miller, and more, and have played Vans Warped Tour. The band's single "Overboard," released in 2018, hit No. 21 on the iTunes Alternative Chart, and that, along with recent singles "Change The Record," "Stuck," and "Rooftop" perfectly illustrate where the band's sound is headed.
Tickets are now on sale. For more information, please visit: https://www.thestolenmusic.com/.

2019 State Basketball Tournament
This is the second year of the Special Olympics Utah State Basketball Tournament. We are grateful to Larry H. Miller Charities and the Utah Jazz for being the title sponsors and making this basketball season and tournament possible.
Basketball is the largest participant sport, with over 700 athletes and 40 teams will participate in this two day event. Athletes can compete at all levels.
Competitions will take place in:
Five-on-Five: 5v5 is played both traditional and Unified. Unified basketball is where those with and without intellectual disabilities train and compete on the same team. An individual without an intellectual disability playing on a Unified team is called a Unified Partner.
Three-on-Three: 3v3 basketball is a step between 5v5 and Skills (see below). An athlete still learning ball handling, passing, shooting, and general game awareness and movement, could be a good candidate for 3v3.
Skills: There are two levels where individual athletes compete in three events: Level I with Target Pass, 10 Meter Dribble and Spot Shot, and the more advanced Level II with 12 Meter Dribble, Catch & Pass and Perimeter Shooting. The totaled three event scores are the final score.
MATP: The Special Olympics Motor Activity Training Program (MATP) is designed for athletes with intellectual disabilities who also have more severe physical, mental, or emotional disabilities and need an individually designed training program. MATP prepares athletes for sport-specific activities appropriate for their abilities.
Special Olympics Utah focuses on the empowerment of those with intellectual disabilities through the power of sport.
Be a part of the action! Over 200 volunteers are needed to support this event! Get involved and join the #InclusionRevolution!

Bret Giebel has been swimming competitively since the age of 12 when he started with the Box Elder Swim Team (BEST) in Brigham City, Utah. He continued to compete on various teams including the Weber High School swim team and Unified Sports track team, where he graduated in May of 2018. He now continues to swim with the Piranhas Swim Team in Ogden, Utah, where he's preparing for his first Special Olympics World Games! Part of his training will involve his mom and coach Jennifer, who was a sprint freestyle swimmer in the 50m and 100m at Brigham Young University. His father Kim, older brother KC and younger sister Courtney round out his support system. His favorite stroke is the Butterfly. When Bret is not swimming, he loves playing other sports and fishing! He roots for Seattle teams, especially the Seahawks and Mariners. He loves to watch his role model, Michael Phelps compete; and hopes to meet him someday. His favorite foods to eat are pizza and seafood although not together. He drives himself to work at Deseret Industries, where he works part-time. When he is not working, or training, Bret loves to play video games, pickle ball and hang out with his friends. He is excited for all the new friends he will meet while representing Utah and the United State in Abu Dhabi!
Ryan Dilg began swimming when he was very young. He competed on his high school swim team and later with Special Olympics Utah. He has also competed in athletics, basketball, bocce, soccer, and volleyball. At Special Olympics World Games Abu Dhabi 2019, he will compete in athletics. Ryan makes friends everywhere he goes. A renaissance man, Ryan also plays the piano, teaches a Sunday school class for 6 and 7 year olds, has an auto mechanics certificate and works at the commissary full-time at the Hill Air Force Base in Clearfield, Utah. He still finds time to mow the lawn, which he says he enjoys! That is, when he isn't busy playing with his nieces and nephews, and his dog Zippy. With all those children and animals to chase around, it's no wonder Ryan's ready to hit the track in March!

Staying Hydrated in the Winter!
Water is vital to our health and our bodies depends on it for survival. Every cell, tissue and organ (our heart, brain and muscles) relay on water in order to function properly. Water carries nutrients to your cells, removes unwanted waste and helps our bodies to maintain its temperature.
Many of us don’t get enough water during the winter months because unlike the summer months and its warmer temperatures we don’t feel the urge to drink water in cold temperatures.
Everyone is different but most people should drink 6-8 glasses a day (glasses should be at least 8- ounces). Our Fit 5 Guide suggests that we drink 5 glasses each day.
As you increase your physical activity it is important to also increase your daily water intake. Those that exercise on a daily basis or those that exercise at a high intensity should consumer even more water since we lose water through sweating.
The #UnifiedGeneration at work
On February 12th, Special Olympics Utah athlete Addie Morley from South Jordan, UT joined other Special Olympics athletes from the United States at our nation's capitol. Addie shared with congressional representatives the importance of Unified Sports in High Schools and Healthy Athletes programs within Special Olympics events.
She was joined by her mother, who shared how Special Olympics Utah made a difference in their lives. Thank you for sharing your stories on behalf of all athletes and families!
Amazing work by the #UnifiedGeneration!

2019 Snowshoe Invitational

COPELAND
Announce Winter Tour with
From Indian Lakes & Many Rooms
New Album Blushing
Out Now
MARCH 27 | URBAN LOUNGE | SALT LAKE CITY, UT
February 28 - Copeland will be stopping by Urban Lounge in Salt Lake City, UT on March 27 as part of their winter tour with From Indian Lakes and Many Room. For a full list of tour dates, please see below.
Copeland's new album Blushing is out now.
The tracks that make up Blushing show the band continuing to explore musical genres, pulling various stylistic influences like electronic and symphonic, and taking each sound and style to its logical extreme.
"We wanted to take all of the elements that made up our sound in the past and push those elements farther," Aaron Marsh says. "So, rock becomes more rock than we've been in the past. If we've taken elements of symphonic tones, let's now be very symphonic. When we're being electronic, be very electronic. We wanted to emphasize each element of sound harder, like an exaggerated version of Copeland's sound. We could be each thing individually by pushing each facet of our art in a more focused way."
The album is now available for pre-order at: http://copeland.lnk.to/D2C
Blushing Track Listing
1. Pope
2. Lay Here
3. As Above So Alone
4. Suddenly
5. Night Figures
6. Skywriter
7. Colorless
8. On Your Worst Day
9. Strange Flower
10. It Felt So Real
11. Waltz On Water
The album is a strong step forward for Copeland, who plans to continue writing and releasing music together for the foreseeable future. In many ways, Blushing encapsulates the band's impressive career, while also showcasing their evolution into mature songwriters and producers. It reveals how the strength of each individual component that makes up Copeland's sound.
This world is not real.
