About the Artist
The Good Lews
Tue, July 15, 7pm
Hailing from the vibrant music scene of Salt Lake City, The Good Lews are a dynamic acoustic blues duo comprised of Steve Lewis and Lou Vitela. Formed in the fall of 2023, they bring a fresh perspective to the blues, blending traditional influences with a touch of acoustic rock for a sound that’s both familiar and uniquely their own. Drawing inspiration from blues legends like Muddy Waters, guitar virtuosos such as Eric Clapton, and the soulful storytelling of artists like Jim Croce, The Good Lews create an engaging and memorable musical experience. They also cite Tab Benoit and Lynyrd Skynyrd as influences, showcasing the breadth of their musical tastes. Their approach is simple: a heartfelt take on the blues with some acoustic rock thrown in for good measure.
The Glendale Branch of the Salt Lake City Public Library system, designed by Architectural Nexus and opened in February of 2015, offers approximately 20,000 square feet of space, making it the largest City Library branch. The branch houses 40,000 circulating materials, public computers, a lounge area, a green screen room, and a grand piano donated through the Mundi Project.
The floor plan of the branch offers open views across the building while creating designated spaces for children's, teen, and adult Library collections. An enclosed activity room easily accommodates various Library programming, and a designated teen space offers a place for young adults to gather, study, and access Library resources and services.
Built with the Glendale neighborhood in mind, the building shape includes a curved form that reaches out and embraces the community while creating an outdoor plaza. Special colored concrete and landscaped designs represent the geographic area along the Jordan River, while the design scheme of interior signage incorporates colors and forms that represent the many ethnic backgrounds of Glendale neighborhood residents.
The branch is easily accessible to area students, being located just one block from Glendale Middle School, Mountain View Elementary School, and the Salt Lake City School District's Community Learning Center.
The diversity of building materials, finishes, and colors of the Glendale Branch reflect the diversity of the Glendale neighborhood, which is one of the most diverse communities in Salt Lake City.
