Our summer tour heads north to Brigham City and their farmer’s market. They have a good sound system, comfortable vibe, fresh produce, and local crafts. We played it last year and really enjoyed our spot under the trees.
Saturday, July 27th, 6-8PM. (Note that it’s in the evening this year, a change in their schedule from last year.) We have brand new stuff to try out, as well as tried and true standards (and substandards).
It’s fun to get the message that the recording you did in the cold and dark on a Friday night in February is now out, and you go back to that and listen to that fun time in and out of a van, next to a fire pit, just playing music and getting interviewed at the up and coming Monarch. It makes us feel like a real Ogden band.
Check it out here, and subscribe to Banyan Collective, especially their #VanSessions for more local music. Thanks to Brandon and Todd for the fun night and the recording!
We keep a digital recorder on hand during rehearsals. Documenting new tracks is useful for future practice or just to remember what we invented on the spot. But sometimes it’s a 30-second blooper reel of failure and comedy.
Maybe our natural habitat is an elevated stage at a bar on a Thursday night, Caryn breaking hearts while the boys work the groove in the background. We had a great time at Lighthouse and we’re already following up on an invitation to come back. Thanks to all who came out and cheered us on.
Thanks to Karyn Johnston Photography for performance photos.
This Thursday, June 6th, we get to play at the Lighthouse Lounge here in Ogden. “Ogden Unplugged,” an open mic opportunity, runs from 7:00 to 9:00 PM. Then we get to take the stage at 9:00 until 11:00 PM. Event details are posted here on Facebook — but that pretty much sums it up. No cover, and come as you are for as long as you’d like.
This is our first chance to play here, and we got even more excited after hanging out for a few hours watching Scott Rogers hold court and endure our heckling. Ian and Caryn are just finishing out their school years and packing up classrooms, while Tim and Adam are each flying back from different work trips in different time zones, all collecting back together just for this. We put together a set to take full advantage of the two hours; and we hope you all take advantage of the laid back vibe (couches and coffee tables or tall tables with bar stools or anything in between). Hang out with friends, and if you occasionally take notice of something we’re playing, so much the better. We’re really looking forward to it.
