Steve Smith Performs Alongside Vicious Beat and the Crescent Super Band

The Soundhouse On the Record event brought an all-day celebration of music, mentorship, and community to Pleasant Grove this past weekend. Designed as a vendor showcase and educational experience, the daytime gathering welcomed artists, families, and music fans for an immersive experience centered on creativity, connection, and real-world industry insight — followed later by a highly anticipated evening concert featuring Steve Smith of Journey.

Throughout the day, attendees explored vendor booths, connected with industry professionals, and enjoyed food from local trucks, creating a vibrant and engaging atmosphere. For many young musicians, it was a rare opportunity to interact directly with accomplished artists and ask questions about what it truly takes to build a lasting career in music.

One of the day’s standout moments was a featured interview and intimate mini concert with Scott Underwood of Train alongside Scott Beissel. The conversation offered candid insight into touring, studio professionalism, and the mindset required for longevity in the industry, followed by a musical moment that gave attendees an up-close look at seasoned artistry.

The stage then welcomed legendary drummer Steve Smith, known for his work with Journey and Vital Information, for an in-depth interview led by Adam Reader, widely recognized as The Professor of Rock. Their discussion explored musicianship, career evolution, discipline, and artistic growth — offering invaluable perspective from one of the most respected drummers of all time.
