All-LDS band Neon Trees returns to Murrieta, Calif., for benefit concert, hasn't forgotten roots

Neon Trees, the popular band many in Utah consider their own, returned to Murrieta, Calif., home of frontman Tyler Glenn and guitarist Chris Allen, to perform a benefit concert at Vista Murrieta High School's football stadium on June 8. Glenn and Allen started playing music together 11 years ago in Murrieta, but it was difficult to find places to perform. The duo would end up playing in places like coffee shops, with just an acoustic guitar and a keyboard.

“Murrieta isn’t known for music,” Allen said. "We never really had anywhere to perform in the area."
