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.
natural habitat
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.
lighthouse
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.
for the kids / not for kids
We’ve got two upcoming gigs.
First, we play at DaVinci Academy’s Jazz Night on Friday, May 24th, 7:00 PM. Details here, along with a link for tickets. We’ll back a few of their vocalists along with something from our own catalog.
Then, for the over-21 crowd, we play at Lighthouse Lounge in Ogden on Thursday, June 6th. Details here on the Facebook event page. There’s an open mic acoustic set from 7-9 PM, and then we get to play as the featured artist from 9-11 PM.

dinner and art
We’re playing Cuppa this Friday, May 3, from 6-8 PM. (Note the change in Cuppa’s hours.) This coincides with First Friday, so it’s a good chance to get dinner — their “Sloppy Jack” is my favorite — sit in for a set, and then stroll the art galleries down the street and still have time left in your evening.
More event details and discussion are on the Facebook feed as well.
