The Aces, the Orem-bred indie-pop band, returned to Utah County to headline Fork Fest in American Fork — playing songs from their new album, which discuss growing up in Utah while being LGBTQ. The crowd welcomed them with cheers and dancing.
It’s one of the album’s 11 tracks that explore the topic of being raised in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints faith while also being part of the LGBTQ community., an annual festival at American Fork’s Art Dye Park, just 10 miles away from their hometown of Orem. They were the last of 32 Utah bands that performed across three stages Friday and Saturday.
One highlight was the Forest Stage, in the back of the park. Strings of lights were suspended among the trees, and chairs and couches were scattered around, giving the feel of a living-room show. The dream-like backdrop, with a collage of rusty corrugated metal and weathered planks, was the perfect setting for an intimate concert at a small festival. On the way to the stage, a glowing matinee sign read, “magic is real.
Henderson’s guitar solo on “Always Get This Way” was electrifying. Alisa, though hidden in the back behind her drums, delivered a sound that reverberated throughout the park. Cristal’s vocals were riveting, and Petty is a master on the bass.In many ways, the concert was a way for fans to welcome The Aces home. Fans at Fork Fest knew the lyrics for old and new songs alike.
