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.

july music

~ Adam Johnston

If you want to see us in July, we’ve consolidated your options into this coming weekend!

  • This Friday, 7/18, Grand America Lobby Lounge, 7:30 – 10:00 PM (free, all ages). The whole band plays this ongoing residency in the big city. Always a different crowd and always a great vibe with cushy chairs and big chandeliers. (Our friend, Morgan Thomas, is playing right before from 5-7p. You should just make a big evening of it, maybe with dinner in between.)
  • This Saturday, 7/19, Caryn & Adam play Two Bit Bistro as a duo, 7:00 – 9:00 PM (free, all ages). This is also becoming a habit, a good kind. We think Two Bit deserves lots of love and patronage, and we like the love we get from them when we play their stage. It’s an easy sit-down show with good food and drink in our hometown.

And that’s it for the whole month! Stay tuned for August. In the meantime, here’s more music from a recent Van Sessions.

(We like to dream that this cover of Sara Bareilles could get her attention and inspire an invitation for us to open the next time she plays Hollywood Bowl … so if you could help make this go viral we’d appreciate it.)

june gigs

~ Adam Johnston

We’ve got 3 gigs in 2 weekends, each their own special vibe!

First, our debut at Brewskis in Ogden, this Friday, June 13, 9-Midnight ($5, 21+). They made a poster that looks especially beautiful by cropping out the rhythm section. It’s fine. We know our place, best heard rather than seen.

The following evening, Caryn and Adam play another duo set at Two Bit Bistro, 7-9p, Saturday, June 14 (free, all ages). Two Bit is a gem, and this is a fun evening hangout with good vibes, drink, and food.

The next week you and all of your family should come celebrate with us at the Weber-Morgan Children’s Justice Center solstice celebration and open house at their brand new facility, Saturday June 21, 5-8p (free, all ages). We’ve supported CJC in past years and jumped at the opportunity to help them celebrate — and we can’t imagine a better cause. Come see their new digs, get something to eat at food trucks, and call out favorite songs you’d like us to play.

funky music

~ Adam Johnston

In case you lost track or wonder what to do in the midst of a long weekend, now is a great time to remind you that we’ll be at the Funk ‘n Dive ($5, 21+) tonight, Saturday 5/24/25, playing music from 9:00p – midnight — and hanging out before, so come say hi! And the following weekend we head back to Grand America and Two Bit. Take a look at the calendar and start planning your summer.

And, in case you missed it, here’s our full set from Van Sessions last month, with individual live tracks pasted into this handy playlist:

Watch and share with friends, family, and strangers. We don’t mind if you flood the internet with our music. And while you’re at it, support our friends at Van Sessions who make these amazing productions and lift up our local music community.

may days

~ Adam Johnston

May is a month of really diverse gigs, starting tonight (Friday, May 2) at our second home: the Grand America Lobby Lounge (all ages, no cover). Tonight it will be just our trio of vocal, keys, and bass. (Matt takes his drum kit out to the stage with Dearth of Earth playing in Ogden. That’s also worth your time.)

The month is super eclectic all the way to the end of the calendar page, including:

Just a few things to look forward to if we don’t see you tonight. Oh, and stay tuned for releases from last month’s Van Sessions, coming soon!
