“This year’s entertainment will include Eli Mosley, a rare out-of-state performer from Florida living in Nashville making his first appearance in Utah,” Thatcher said. “He is a pretty traditional country western singer and he will add a little variety to our shows.”
Mosley will perform on Thursday, June 17 at 8 p.m. on the outdoor stage. The faith-based musician takes his inspiration form George Strait, Brooks and Dunn and Garth Brooks. The singer/songwriter has visited over 47 countries helping people in need as a missionary, but his goal is becoming a well-known artist.

He said he has played in the western United States in Jackson, Wyoming and at South Dakota’s Buffalo Roundup, but this is his first trip to Utah.
“I think our music is more like George Strait and our show is more like Garth Brooks,” Mosley said. “We try and have a lot of fun.”
He said he is looking forward to making new friends at Summerfest.
“We love to make new friends and meeting different people,” Mosley said. “I have a tendency to remember people and it is so much fun getting to know new fans.”
