Bio: www.myspace.com/guavatheband

Hip, yet unconventional, Guava certainly stands out in the Sydney music scene. In a short and intense 18 month history, they’ve been quick to surprise and refresh audiences with their unique brand of music, and have already played packed-out shows in many of Sydney’s top venues.

Guava’s sound is perhaps best described as 'alternative, rootsy pop', combining acoustic guitar, bass, drums, sax, and a whole band of soulful singers. Friendly and down-to-earth front man Chris Stewart heralds a captivating voice, reminiscent of Jeff Buckley and Jason Mraz. The groove based rhythm section, influenced by neo-soul masters such as Erykah Badu and Michael Jackson, have audiences grooving and dancing the night away. Meanwhile the sax and guitar create the colourful African and Jazz inspired harmonies Guava is renowned for. Their songs are about love and freedom; celebrating the opportunity to be alive, to be joyful and to live well.

Guava has had some commendable achievements over the year and a half since playing together. They’ve already recorded two EPs: ‘Guava’ and ‘The Blue Ep’, the latter of which is now being distributed through MGM Green and can be purchased through iTunes. The band has also had national radio airplay with Triple J, Sydney’s Fbi, Eastside Radio, and Joy FM with their single ‘Hope in Mind’.

Despite their recording success, Guava is best seen live. It is here that the band truly proves their musical skill and intuition, story-telling skills and love for what they do. The band has already performed numerous gigs throughout Sydney, Melbourne, Wollongong, Newcastle and Canberra, including shows at The Basement, The Vanguard, The Heritage Hotel, The Supper Club, The Annandale Hotel, Spectrum, 303 High St, The Wesley Ann and Canberra’s Hippo Lounge, to name but a few. Guava’s live shows are energetic, engaging, sometimes experimental, and always an experience. 
