At his July 23 antitrust oversight hearing, will Utah’s Sen. Mike Lee, the chairman of the Senate Antitrust Subcommittee, protect the Utah music industry?

From David Archuleta to Donnie and Marie Osmond to Jewel, the list of nationally recognized names that have come out of this state is a long one. While many states have talented music pools, few have as many acts that rise to cultural prominence as does The Beehive State.
The reason appears to be the overwhelming amount of passion and support its artists receive.
