sunshine, food trucks, cycle carts, beer … AND music

Walking around town we spied this poster featuring us!

This prominent display puts us in the mix alongside other friendly musicians (our favorite) and food trucks (also our favorite) and beer (arguably our most favorite for Tim and Adam, or at least a close second after music) and cycle carts (you just have to see to understand, a steampunk grownup version of go-carts …. but not really) and most especially a good time among the good vibe in Huntsville on Saturday.

Here’s the details provided by the folks who have ramped up Ogden Valley events, providing us a stage and big PA system and all the arrangements. Join us for sunshine and music.

We’re on from 1:30 – 3:00 this Saturday May 4 at Huntsville Town Square (free, all ages), but come early to say hi and stay late to listen to more music and enjoy the vibe.

kind of a big deal

Sure, you may have seen photos or even heard us play an event at the Egyptian last week, or you joined in the dancing and ice cream at Gandy that weekend. And we’re thrilled that Davis Arts announced their Sunday concert series for the summer and have us prominently listed. More on that later, but for now what we’re especially excited about is our Saturday gig at Lighthouse to close out the Femme as Folk series created by The Ogdenite. Caryn is doubling down on the diva:

Full details here courtesy of The Ogdenite. 21+, $10 cover with splits between the bands and Rock Camp SLC. Doors at 7:00, Ogden icon Korene Greenwood at 8:00, and us following. Come out early and hang with us while we take in the good music, food, drink, and company. We’ll play new stuff, old stuff, and old stuff made new — featuring full Diva mode!

ramping up in March

A few exciting things for us on the calendar. Here’s a fun ramping up into our summer:

  • We get to play the fancy Egyptian Theater to close out the Ogden-Weber Chamber of Commerce’s annual gala. (Adam gets to play a grand piano instead of hauling his keyboard.)
  • We’re back at the Gandy Dancer on Saturday, March 23, 6-8 PM. All ages, free! (But buy food and ice cream and more ice cream and support the Gandy’s goodness!)
  • And we are so excited to be part of the Femme as Folk lineup, closing out the month’s celebration at Lighthouse Lounge on Saturday, March 30, 8-midnight (21+, $10). It’s a big celebration of woman, transgender, and non-binary musicians (the boys get to ride on the coattails of Caryn for this gig) and fundraiser for Rock Camp SLC, so your $10 goes to a good cause as well as good music — both us and Korene Greenwood on the PBR Stage that night. Special thanks to The Ogdenite for envisioning, creating, and turning the wheels on this project and fantastic lineup!

We’re so happy for all this … but also excited about the upcoming months into the summer. There are outdoor event spaces and events in the work, including yet-to-be-announced (like, seriously, we have to keep it secret!) gigs. But we promise that you’ll be first to know.

happy EPiversary!

It was a year ago today that we released our live EP, so to celebrate we’ve posted it on Bandcamp:

You can also find this and our original studio recording on our music page.

Bandcamp allows for downloads and proceeds that go back to the performers. In case you’re curious, we really do love it when you stream music on all the platforms because that’s what we want to share with you, but the musicians make only fractions of a cent on each one of your plays. As a band, we earn only a few dollars a year from streaming; but, hiring us for a party or coming to a live performance or buying a download or CD supports musicians of all stripes. The $5 cover you pay at Lighthouse or the tip you toss into the jar or even the download on Bandcamp goes back into our account to buy a cable or a cymbal or a microphone.

thanksgiving break

We just had 3 gigs over 3 weekends, a concentrated calendar for us, and now we have a break to work on a glimmer of a project we’ve had in mind, a few rehearsals, maybe coil some cables properly. We get to go out on a band-date tonight and enjoy Postmodern Jukebox. They didn’t ask us to open for them, which is just as well because we can just enjoy the show from the balcony this way.

We don’t have anything public on our calendar until December 29th, a return to Lighthouse Lounge, followed by another return to the Grand America in January and a series of monthly gigs at Gandy Dancer again in January, February, and March. We’ll put out reminders of these and anything else that gets scheduled.

For now, here’s a quick sample of what it sounded like at Grand America last week. We just worked this one up:

Grateful and celebratory holidays to everyone! We’ll see you out on the scene soon.
