Who We Are

The Live at the Eccles series is presented by The Space Agency in partnership with Salt Lake County Center for the Arts and The State Room Presents.

The Space Agency has been part of the Utah arts and cultural community for over 35 years. The Space Agency team have produced and presented live entertainment events in London’s West End, on Broadway and in theaters and arenas across North America.

The State Room Presents was formed in 2008 by Chris Mautz and Darin Piccoli after the two shared a casual lunch where they discussed their different paths in the live music industry for the first time. The partnership has been going strong ever since presenting concerts at various venues in and around Utah.

The two also opened The State Room on April 1, 2009. The State Room is a 300-capacity live music venue that presents over 125 concerts annually featuring national touring artists. The State Room also plays host to numerous community events. They also opened The Commonwealth Room on May 5, 2018 which has a capacity of 650 and hosts 75 concerts annually.

They also present the Deer Valley Concert Series and are partners in the Fort Desolation Festival which takes place in Torry, Utah.
