The Backseat Lovers is a rock band from Salt Lake City, UT. The band formed when lead vocalist Joshua Harmon, having heard of local drummer Juice Welch, introduced himself and asked if he wanted to start a band. They immediately started working on arrangements for some of Josh's songs. Later Josh met lead guitarist and vocalist Jonas Swanson while waiting in line for an open mic at the Velour in Provo city. Neither of them got on the list to play that night, so they sat on a park bench outside the venue and played their songs to each other until they ran out of stuff to play. Josh invited Jonas to come down and play with he and Juice. It was that night that Out of Tune, a song Josh had been holding onto since he was 16, came to life when they arranged it as a group.
In spring of 2018 the band began recording together. They released their self produced EP Elevator Days on June 3, 2018 and played their first show a few
short weeks after. They released their first full length LP, When We Were Friends on January 27th, 2019 which features the single "Kilby Girl" with over 35 million streams globally. The band released their newest song "Heavy" in July of 2020. The group is currently writing new material that they say is a product of the co-writing chemistry that has grown between Jonas & Joshua since the band started.
I was a bit worried when I saw the huge line to enter, but it actually went by pretty fast. The venue was nice and had food and drink options. The backseat lovers were of course great. It was overall a super fun concert.
Never heard of the band before seeing them at Ohana Fest, and since then I’ve listened to their whole discography. Had some tech problems but didn’t complain once, singer seems like the coolest guy ever. Sounded great, fans were super into it. I’ll be seeing these guys again if I can help it.
It was a beautifully soul touching experience the band was so sweet josh came out to everyone waiting outside while it was raining thanking us and greeted everyone and just getting to hear their music live and practically feel it was nothing like I’ve ever felt before they even stopped everything for a girl who vomited in the pit so someone to get to her safely and quickly I’ve never felt so comfortable in such a crowded space you will see me continuing to go to their concerts for years to come because these boys deserve nothing more then love for the things they put out into this world
They are so good live. SO GOOD! I cant wait to see them again. It was out of the world. Crowd was good and the venue was perfect. Such a good performance!!!!
I loved it so much. There were so many tall people tho
I LOVE THE BACKSEAT LOVERS!!! the security was super kind, even at the end when we had to leave but some people were changing for their favorite song to be played as an encore. There was good food & drink options, and it was amazing music. A few things that could be fixed in the future would be a clearer way for lines to work before we are actually supposed to line up, like maybe some signs to point out where lines begin and end (some people couldn't tell) and I wish the concert had actually lasted until 10 pm as advertised, but otherwise I LOVED IT! Thank you so much <3
This was my fifth show seeing the backseat lovers across 4 venues and it was by far a subpar performance. There were vocals and guitar parts missed, 5-10 minute aimless interludes between every song, and a lack of energy from the band. Despite having a new album, the set list seemed to be the same as the last show, but drawn out to fit a much longer time slot. Very disappointed.
100/10 so good i need to see them again i’ll spend all my savings to see them live one more time!!!!!
Great venue, people and most importantly, great music!
They were amazing, played a great mix of their songs. The venue was perfect, only complaint would be cost of parking.
