Music scene · West Valley City

West Valley City's music mirrors its working-class, immigrant-rich character; punk and metal bands rehearse in industrial spaces, while Polynesian choirs perform at church halls. Country and rock cover bands play Redwood Road bars, and a small rap scene records in bedroom studios.

West Valley neighborhood bars and pool halls book cover bands on weekends. The Maverik Center hosts touring acts passing through Salt Lake City. Church halls serve as all-ages venues for local hardcore and Polynesian gospel showcases. Club gigs are a 15-minute drive east to downtown Salt Lake City.

Local Polynesian vocal groups and west-side punk bands. A few metal and hardcore acts from West Valley have opened for touring bands at Salt Lake venues like The Complex and The Depot.
