We’re really looking forward to being back at Lighthouse Lounge this Friday, July 19, 9:00p – Midnight (21+, $5). Always a fun evening for us to share with friends new and old, indulge in a Lighthouse burger and tots, and spend three hours on stage while Paddy dials our monitors in just right and makes sure the mix is clear in the house.

And then we follow up the following week at our other lounge spot, the Grand America Lobby Lounge: Friday, July 26, 7:00-10:00p (free, all ages).

After those shows, we’ll be tightening up our setlist to get ready for some 60-minute shows, including our upcoming return to Layton’s Kenley Amphitheater on Sunday, August 25. More to come on that one and another big audience show in the fall in which Adam gets to play on the grand pianos and compete for the diva title.

Hope to see friends, new and old, at any or all of these. Come heckle, cheer, dance, or sit back and listen. We’re always just excited to play for a happy audience.

make it funky: Lighthouse Lounge this weekend

We get to play a show at Lighthouse Lounge this Saturday, May 6, 9:00 – Midnight (21+, $5). If there’s anywhere we’d want to be after 9:00 PM wearing anything but PJs, it’s the PBR stage with Paddy running sound. We always look forward to it.

Little does the rest of the band know, but Adam made a setlist that pushes the limits of fun and funky, inspired by this clip recorded when we were playing out in the cold a few months ago. Imagine what Tim’s fingers will do on those bass strings when they’re actually warm, Ian screaming out in encouragement as everything builds after Caryn tells the band, “Make it funky.” Indeed, we will.

We love the Lighthouse Lounge for oh so many reasons: The PBR stage, the great vibe, happy people, amazing staff, and sound mixed by Paddy. Also, we’ll be inside and not in the snow like a couple weeks ago. (But, honestly, we like that, too.) So, we hope you’ll join in the musical celebration at this fantastic Ogden venue this Saturday, February 11th, 9PM – Midnight. 21+, $5 cover.

Oh, and we’ll bring CDs of the new live EP, Videos of Us in Handcuffs. Speaking of which, thanks to The Ogdenite for coverage of the new record!

See you Saturday night!

It’s a good week for S&S music.

First, we’re so delighted with what Van Sessions captured and released as individual tracks and videos of our live performance with them at The Monarch at the beginning of the month. Take a look and play these on repeat at our music page or directly at this YouTube playlist, and then tune in as the full episode of that live podcast recording goes live on Friday.

And THEN, come see us live, in person, for multiple hours, late into the night, at Lighthouse Lounge in Ogden on Saturday (9/24/22) from 9:00p to Midnight ($5, 21+). Past our bedtime but worth it.

Lighthouse Lounge on Saturday night

The Snarlin’ Yarns plays at The Yes Hell on Saturday night, too. We love them!

We’re excited to return to the stage at Lighthouse Lounge this weekend! It’s the usual: 21-and-over, $5 cover, 9:00 – midnight on Saturday.

But it’s also the unusual: It’s been a long while since we’ve played a Saturday night show, and this is our ramp-up for our summer.

And, it’s my (Adam) birthday this week, and when the band asked what I wanted to do to celebrate 50 years, I said I just wanted to play piano and maybe have a beer in downtown Ogden–in other words, living the dream. Caryn got this on our schedule and the band made my dream come true. They also let me make up the whole setlist!*

We’d love to see you, this weekend or later this summer, late at night or the middle of the day. There’s more to come — including Tim’s birthday next month.

*That’s a funny band joke. I do all the setlists. It maintains my place in the band.
