Rising Moon Productions

gothic/industrial and dark alternative concert promotion in Salt Lake City, Utah

About Me

Rising Moon Productions is a concert promotion company specializing in gothic/industrial and dark alternative events in Salt Lake City, Utah. Founded by Kelly Ashkettle in Aug., 2007, it produced seven events in seven months. Photos and fliers from these events are viewable in the gallery.

In Jan., 2008, Kelly accepted a position as a staff writer for In Utah This Week , a local entertainment paper. She stopped booking new shows at that point due to time constraints and a desire to provide impartial entertainment coverage to Salt Lake.

Rising Moon Productions went on hiatus on Feb. 20, 2008, and will remain inactive for the forseeable future.
