finishing up the year

Sometimes we play in quiet basements with fancy equipment and a few close friends.

And later the same week we wear Santa hats and play for a theater full of enthusiastic audience members.

And this Saturday we close out our year of gigs with a trio set at the Two Bit Bistro, 6-8p on December 20. We’ll pull out some seasonal flavors and some of our own perennial favorites, and we’ll tell you more about what we’ve been up to. Enjoy the lights, good food and drink, and the lights of downtown.

We’re up to something.

We’ve been in the planning stages for a long time, but just yesterday when we started texting each other about what snacks we were going to bring and which microphone we chose, that’s when it felt very real.

Not to give away surprises, but to show just how big of a deal this is, take a look at Diva carrying gear.

Rare sighting of Caryn carrying a drummer’s gear.

What would instigate such a thing? We’ll just leave this here for you to wonder and anticipate. You can come pester us at gigs coming up, too.

October treats

~ Adam Johnston

We just recovered from a string a fantastic gigs in September. October is a lot lighter, but maybe you can catch us at one of our favorite haunts:

  • Friday, October 3, Grand America Lobby Lounge, 7:30 – 10:00p
    (Yup, if you’re keeping track, that’s tonight!)
  • Saturday, October 25, Two Bit Bistro, 7:00 – 9:00p
    (Trio show … maybe with Tim’s brand new bass!)

And we’ve got some plans and schemes for new things coming up soon. In the meantime, here’s us setting up (Adam’s behind the camera) at Funk N Dive last weekend. What a great time that was — looking forward to coming back soon.

September sets

~ Adam Johnston

Welcome to September! We’ve packed all of our music into the middle of the month:

  • Park City Jazz in the Park, Wednesday 9/17, 5:30 – 7:00. Free, all ages. Bring a picnic and throw off your shoes to dance in the lawn.
  • Two Bit Bistro (duo), Saturday 9/20, 6:00 – 8:00. Free, all ages. Celebrate Harvest Moon Festival and then come out for dinner and a drink with us. We have a suspicion that Tim might walk in with his upright bass as a special surprise.
  • Private event (trio), Wednesday 9/24. Sorry, you probably aren’t invited, but we put this here just to make sure you know we’re busy. (And if you’d like your own private event, let us know!)
  • Funk ‘N Dive, Saturday 9/27, 9:00 – midnight. $5, 21+. Join the full band in our favorite dive bar for a late night set, good company, and a dance floor.

Something for everyone! See you out there!

august outings

~ Adam Johnston

We’ve packed all our August outings into the span of only a week, but a wide variety of settings and groupings:

  • This Saturday, 8/16, Caryn & Adam return to play Two Bit Bistro as a duo, 6:00 – 8:00 PM (free, all ages). This coincides with an art market event at 2BB, so come early, meet the artists, and stay for dinner.
  • Wednesday, 8/20, the trio of Caryn/Adam/Tim debut at Pendry Poolside series in Park City. Join us on the roof from 7:00-10:00PM (free) as we play out the setting sun and you enjoy music, a view, and perhaps a cocktail.
  • Friday, 8/22, our long awaited chance to play (all four of us! even Matt!) at Ogden’s Own Summer Series in their amphitheater ($5, 21+). Doors at 5:00PM. We’ll start playing at some point after 6:00 or when we feel like it and close out the evening around 10:00. Sit, dance, cheer, sing along. We’re so excited to play outside at the distillery while you watch the glow on the mountains behind us.

That’s our August! A duo, trio, and quartet! You could join us for all three shows and never get bored. See you out there.
