Salt Lake residents Jaden Thornley and Didier Bouchever have been performing as the rap group Ivy Local for about a year and a half. At the beginning of 2017, they decided to embrace their inner randomness and loosely base some shows around seemingly arbitrary themes.
“We started this year with a ‘love’ show we did at Urban Lounge. I’m not sure it really worked! I’m not sure people really understood what was going on. I’m not sure even we knew what was going on! But that kind of planted the seed of it,” Thornley said.
