Holy Ghost Tent Revival In contrast to what their name and hometown might suggest, Asheville, N.C.-based six-piece Holy Ghost Tent Revival play a style of laid-back, horns-filled rock that’s pretty far from anything resembling gospel, but still has a lot of roosty soul and human authenticity. In fact, Holy Ghost Tent Revival’s sound is more old school than Sunday school, a classic-rock-tinged blend of meandering bass lines and comfortable vocal harmonies that you can chill out and bob your head to. Besides getting yourself to this show, a good way to get an up-close look at Holy Ghost Tent Revival’s warm, homey style is to look up the band’s entry for NPR’s 2015 Tiny Desk Concert Contest. In the video, they crowd around a desk in their living room and sing a rowdy rendition of “Trouble With the Truth,” from their latest album, 2014’s Right State of Mind. Bar Deluxe, 666 S.

needed assistance. Tonight’s benefit concert will feature a diverse lineup of local talent, including comics Melissa Merlot, Taylor Hunsaker, Kristall Starr and Rebecca Frost, as well as bands/musicians Mary Tebbs, Molten Blue, L.P.X., Magda-Vega, and Dave Hahn with Fred Hebling. The goal is to raise $10,000 from ticket sales and a silent auction to go toward the Shaw family’s medical debt and household bills (including their mortgage), as well as hopefully toward a family vacation so they can make some memories together. If you can’t attend the show, donations are also being accepted at PodcastPhil.com. Bar Deluxe, 666 S. State, 7 p.m., $15-$100, BarDeluxeSLC.com

That 1 Guy The experimental “earthshaking future funk” created by Las Vegas musician Mike Silverman, aka That 1 Guy, is something you just have to see to believe. Back in the day, Silverman started out as a bassist, but, wanting to explore his own style and unique sound, built his own custom instrument he calls The Magic Pipe, which is essentially a stand-up bass made out of steel pipes, thick bass strings and various electronic components. And the didgeridoolike sounds he gets out of this wild thing are insane; even if you watch all his hands and feet at work—as they wail on The Magic Pipe as well as a snare and bass drum—it’s nearly impossible to track where each sonic nuance is coming from. All the elements somehow come together to form a sound that’s bass-y, weird, spacey and full of visual and sonic surprises. The Urban Lounge, 241 S. 500 East, 9 p.m., $15, TheUrbanLoungeSLC. com; limited no-fee tickets available at CityWeeklyStore.com.

Geographer After a series of family deaths in 2005, Michael Deni left his home in New Jersey and moved to San Francisco, where, armed with a synthesizer and a guitar, he started writing the songs that would become the beginnings of indierock/synth-pop act Geographer. Since then, Geographer has developed and deepened a sound that transports listeners through interwoven layers of wailing, shimmering synths and snappy pop rhythms. And at the center is Deni’s delicate, hypnotic voice, which delivers poignant lyrics with graceful beauty. »
