The selection was made by a national board chaired by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency and consists of representatives from American Red Cross, Catholic Charities, National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA, The Jewish Federations of North America, The Salvation Army and United Way Worldwide. The local board made up of the Ameri- can Red Cross, Utah County Housing Authority, the LDS and Catholic churches, and others will determine how the funds awarded to Emergency Food and Shelter Programs are to be distributed among the emergency food and shelter programs run by local service agencies in the area. The funds were appropriated by Congress to help expand the capacity of food and shelter programs in high-need areas around the country. The local board is responsible for recommending agencies to receive these funds and any additional funds made available under this phase of the program. The local board seeks to address the following priorities/needs in the Utah County area: Shelter homeless singles and families, Homeless prevention through rental assistance and rental assistance to place people into housing, food assistance due to hunger caused by economic emergen- cies, mortgage assistance to prevent homelessness.

We have literally watched them grow up.” Tlou is currently figuring out which platform to use to distribute the album. “We want to make sure the artists whose songs we are playing get paid the way they should,” he said. “We also have the rights to produce a limited number of actual double-CD sets.” Tlou and Sopanen began playing together more than 20 years ago in a band called Soul Patrol. “I was in the band and we all knew about Eric, because he was in all of these other bands,” Tlou said. “So I was sent to recruit him.” Tlou attended a couple of shows Sopanen played. “I stopped him, physically, and asked if he would like to come work with a 10- to 11-piece soul band,” Tlou said. “He said yes, and graced us with his talent. I mean, he had, and still has, an amazing reputation. There were people who would come see us, just to watch him play.” Tlou got to know Sopanen musically during the band’s soundchecks. “I would ask him things like, ‘Do you know the intro to that Local Park City news every Wednesday and Saturday ERA SKYLINE REAL ESTATE Julie Summers Christensen Realtor® 801-745-5781 summersinutah@gmail.com PHOTOS COURTESY OF JOY TLOU Erika Sehestedt, left, and Carly Nicole Sisson, both of whom work at Sundance Resort’s Owl Bar, are guest vocalists on Joy and Eric’s new album, “One Night.” U2 song?’ and he would say, ‘Which one?’ and then he’d start playing it,” Tlou said. “It was amazing.” The idea to play as a duo came after the two left Soul Patrol a few years later. “I invited him to dinner, and told him we’d burn some steaks and play some songs,” Tlou said. “What I didn’t know then was that Eric had never played acoustic guitar in front of people. He always played electric guitar.” The two got together and started playing a game. “I would throw out a title, and he would play it, and it would go on like that,” Tlou said. One day, one of Tlou’s neighbors stopped him at the grocery store. “She told me she had heard us playing every Tuesday, and would invite friends over so they could sit outside on her back deck and listen to us,” he said with a laugh. A few months later, Tlou and Sopanen, under the moniker Joy and Eric, played at the now-defunct Suede bar on Main Street. “Since then we have played Riverhorse on Main, all the ski resorts, and one of our favorite places to play — Sundance Resort’s Owl Bar,” Tlou said. The duo has opened for a list of diverse musicians and groups including Eric Johnson, the Samples, Robert Cray, OMD, O.A.R., Smash Mouth, Natalie Cole, English Beat, John Oats, Josh Turner and Earth Wind and Fire. One of the most memorable shows for Tlou was opening for Chicago in 2009 at Red Butte Garden. “When we finished playing the first song in the set, the audience made a noise that was so loud it nearly knocked me over,” Tlou said. “It felt like wind hitting me in the chest.” Tlou felt a similar experience while opening for Neon Trees a couple of years ago. “Eric and I are old men, and the people who worked for the band told us it was the best night ever.” trapperscrossing.com JOIN THE FIGHT FOR ALZHEIMER’S FIRST SURVIVOR VOTED PARK CITY’S BEST STEAK HOUSE 6 YEARS IN A ROW!
