Concert

There are few places that feel as synonymous with Salt Lake City’s music scene as Kilby Court. On Monday night, the tiny outdoor venue welcomed BONNEVILLE, Jonny’s Day Out and Over Under for a lineup that showed just how much talent exists within the local indie scene.

BONNEVILLE opened the evening by setting the tone for everything that followed. Their set was moody, nostalgic and atmospheric in a way that immediately pulled the audience in. Opening with “Wednesday,” the band eased into “You Are Not the Moon,” “Birds and Bears,” “Groves,” “Lipsill” and “Cherry Root,” letting each song naturally build on the last. Closing with “Horse” and “Punch,” BONNEVILLE did exactly what an opener should do — they created an atmosphere that made the rest of the night feel like it had somewhere to grow.

Jonny’s Day Out completely shifted the energy. Their set was playful, bouncy and just a little spacey. At times they sounded like Wilco and Japanese Breakfast had a baby, blending catchy hooks with dreamy textures that never felt predictable. Opening with “SMB,” the band mixed newer material like “Jim’s Good Cry” with songs including “Gardener,” “Tulips,” “Catwalk,” “Cough,” “Zumba,” “Seabiscuit” and “Euth.” The set captured the creativity that has become a signature of Portland’s indie scene while bringing a fresh energy to the night.

By the time Over Under took the stage, the crowd was all in. Vocalist and guitarist Taylor Gwynn, drummer Jaden Gwynn, vocalist and guitarist Max Moffat, bassist Patrick McNally and keyboardist Daniel McNally played with the kind of chemistry that only comes from spending countless hours together on stage. Every member brought something different to the performance, creating a sound that felt both tight and spontaneous.

Opening with “Chase,” Over Under tore through “8 Blue Moons,” “Killer Man,” “To That or to This,” “Bus Song,” “Yellow Roses,” “Frogger” and “All in My Head” before returning for an encore of “End of Time to Waste.” The band felt like the perfect representation of Salt Lake City’s underground music scene. Their performance was lively, dramatic and full of joy. Indie rock sat at the center of it all, but jazz and funk influences constantly found their way into the music, giving each song room to breathe before exploding back into high-energy moments. Even during quieter sections, the atmosphere they created never let the audience drift away.

What lingered long after the final encore was the feeling that every band had contributed something distinct to the evening. BONNEVILLE built an immersive foundation, Jonny’s Day Out injected playful unpredictability and Over Under brought the night to a thrilling close with a performance that felt both polished and exhilarating. Together, the lineup showcased the depth and diversity of the independent music communities flourishing from Utah to the Pacific Northwest.

Kilby Court has earned its reputation as one of Salt Lake City’s most beloved venues because nights like these happen regularly. The intimate setting allows audiences to discover emerging artists up close, creating the kind of connection that larger venues rarely capture. The local scene isn’t just growing, but thriving, and Over Under, Jonny’s Day Out and BONNEVILLE each proved they’re helping shape what comes next. —Indi Tejeda
