Show of the week • Believe it or not, Peter Breinholt is not a native Utahn — in fact, he was born in Philadelphia and moved here when he was 10. It just seems the singer-songwriter is a long-standing Utah phenomenon. Certainly he's popular in his adopted home state, laying claim to selling out every major Utah concert venue, from Kingsbury Hall to Tuacahn. For many music lovers in Utah, Breinholt's annual Christmas concert is a tradition as much a part of the holiday celebration as the lights in Temple Square. His show promises a mix of familiar Christmas carols and his own compositions.
