The Imperial Rainbow Court of Northern Utah is Ogden and Northern Utah’s longest-running LGBTQ+ community organization in its 24th reign. They hold fundraisers to raise money for charitable organizations such as Christmas Box House, Youth Outreach, Northern Utah Coalition, Lantern House, and the local food bank, as well as for national and international causes such as the Pink Ribbon Campaign, Make-A-Wish Foundation, and the Matthew Shepard Foundation. They also donate money to individuals in need who have HIV/AIDS, cancer, and other illnesses. All representatives are volunteers and do not receive any monetary gain from the money raised at court fundraisers. When most people think of the IRCoNU, the first thought that comes to mind is drag queens, though they are much more. Along with fundraising, its purpose is to provide a creative outlet for the LGBTQ+ community to express their individuality and for talented individuals to have the opportunity to design elaborate costumes, sets, and musical numbers and provide a place to present them.

Mended Hearts Club, an indie folk duo with vocalist, singer-songwriter Aiden Barrick, and violinist Judith Rognli, uniquely blends folk rock and beat poetry in original work. Their musicianship and friendship translate to on-stage chemistry that is intimate, palpable, and inviting. The duo’s music catalog has significant depth, smooth edges, and gutsy honesty. It resonates with listeners who crave vulnerability and bold authenticity. They weave themes of politico-religious oppression, romantic love, and self-acceptance in ways that have garnered comparisons to Brandi Carlile, Indigo Girls, Tracy Chapman, and Andrea Gibson. Straddling genres of Americana and indie-folk, the duo is not concerned with fitting in. While navigating being queer and trans artists, the crux of their platform is layered with comforting melodies, raw powerhouse vocals, and intentional messages of social justice, equal rights, and inclusion.

DJ HIGHINTENTIONS is Austin, originally hailing from the picturesque Ogden, Utah, who embarked on a transformative journey to Los Angeles amidst the challenging backdrop of the pandemic. Though a dedicated member of the nursing profession, as the pandemic’s grip loosened, Austin felt a stirring within— a call to pursue their true passion. Being a non-binary, queer individual in the heart of a conservative state instilled in Austin a profound sense of empathy and determination. Their experiences fueled a fiery resolve to dismantle barriers and amplify the voices of those too often silenced. The essence of their art is liberation and self-discovery. Through their music, they weave a tapestry of emotions — embracing the complexities of freedom, introspection, and the raw vulnerability that accompanies the
journey of self-realization, serving as a beacon of empowerment and catharsis — a testament to the indomitable spirit within us all.
