Guava Tree, Blue Rainboots, Sunfish
In the Logan music scene, a generalist approach will get you a long way. The northern Utah college town simply doesn't have the population to support multiple music scenes operating independently of each other, so it helps to have crossover appeal. In a small, tight-knit music community, developing a sound that just about every music fan can get down with for an hour or so is one of the most important skills to cultivate. Guava Tree seems to understand this intuitively. The psychedelic rock project, spearheaded by singer, songwriter and lead guitarist Sam K. Johnson, has proven itself willing and able to adapt to just about any crowd out there, whether it's a hip indie venue like Kilby Court, a pizza joint like Logan's own Factory Pizzeria, a DIY house show or even an impromptu streetside busking session. Still, as impressively elastic as Guava Tree's performance style is, Johnson's sun-baked, flower child attitude and easygoing, reggae-influenced songwriting style manage to shine through no matter where he and his cohorts might be playing. This Tuesday, Guava Tree returns once again to Logan's premier local music venue WhySound—where Johnson regularly runs the ticket booth and soundboard—for a psychedelic-themed local music night. They'll be joined by Salt Lake psych-folk trio Blue Rainboots and alt-rock outfit Sunfish. (Nic Renshaw) WhySound, 30 N. Federal Ave., Logan, 7:30 p.m. $8, all ages, whysound.org
