Luke Grimes, the actor known for his role as Kayce Dutton on “Yellowstone,” is returning to Utah for a rare intimate concert outside of Park City — for which all proceeds will go toward a local nonprofit.

 

 

Grimes, who released his self-titled debut album in early 2024, starred in all five seasons of “Yellowstone” as the former Navy Seal and son of John Dutton (Kevin Costner), which was filmed in Utah during its first three seasons.

 

 

This weekend, the actor-musician will come back to Utah for a roughly 220-guest concert at The Lodge at Blue Sky, Auberge Resorts Collection for an hour-long set, which will include light storytelling and crowd interactions from Grimes.

All profits made from the concert will go directly to Saving Gracie Foundation, a Utah-based nonprofit animal rescue and sanctuary with a focus on saving neglected, abused and abandoned horses.

Grimes, who will reprise his role as Kayce Dutton in the upcoming “Yellowstone” spinoff, “Y: Marshals,” was selected to headline the concert because he “channels the spirit of the American West.”

“His role in ‘Yellowstone’ has become synonymous with the West itself,” said Joe Ogdie, general manager of The Lodge at Blue Sky, Auberge Resorts Collection. “It became a natural fit when we were looking for a musician. So we went out to him, and asked if he would be interested, and lucky enough, he was.”

Ogdie added that the Wasatch Mountains “make the perfect backdrop for Luke Grimes.”

“We live in one of the best places in the world. We’ve got great access to nature that is literally out our back doors,” he added. “Our history of ranching and the connection of just outdoors and people that live that mountain lifestyle, there’s no better place to do it … looking up at the Wasatch Range.”

Grimes grew up in Ohio playing music in church and listening to his father’s country music albums. After playing drums in an Americana band for a couple years, the musician launched a solo act with country music inspired by personal stories of love and loss.
