Sometimes we play in quiet basements with fancy equipment and a few close friends.
And later the same week we wear Santa hats and play for a theater full of enthusiastic audience members.
And this Saturday we close out our year of gigs with a trio set at the Two Bit Bistro, 6-8p on December 20. We’ll pull out some seasonal flavors and some of our own perennial favorites, and we’ll tell you more about what we’ve been up to. Enjoy the lights, good food and drink, and the lights of downtown.
We’ve been in the planning stages for a long time, but just yesterday when we started texting each other about what snacks we were going to bring and which microphone we chose, that’s when it felt very real.
Not to give away surprises, but to show just how big of a deal this is, take a look at Diva carrying gear.
What would instigate such a thing? We’ll just leave this here for you to wonder and anticipate. You can come pester us at gigs coming up, too.
Okay, so we’re a little late. But here’s the first thing we played together in weeks, live from the Gandy Dancer stage. We probably hadn’t played this in a couple years, so it was kind of a leap of faith to start with this, two weeks after the new year.
We’ll see people again out in the world on Saturday, January 28th, from 4-7pm at Compass Rose Lodge for their Apres Ski Series.
We’ve been keeping this under wraps, but we’re pretty excited to see that it’s now coming out into all your streaming platforms. Introducing:
We’ve put together the track list and commentary on our “liner notes” page, but probably you should just listen in on your favorite streaming platform. And listen often: We get about one-tenth of a cent for each of your streams. Go crazy.
Better yet, come visit us and pick up a real CD at a future gig in the new year! We’ve got some shows coming up and we’ll even play all of these songs and many, many more. For now, we’re just really excited that we were able to press the record button, mix our own sounds, and distribute them into your car stereos, earbuds, and living rooms. Enjoy!
We don’t get around much anymore, as the song goes, and live performances and live audiences are in short supply. But one silver lining to a pandemic is that we sometimes deliver music straight into your home through wires. Jazz at the Station was good enough to host us for a socially distanced performance for their monthly session at Ogden’s Union Station.
For us, the best part of it all was that we had this moment to get dressed up and play from a stage for an hour, albeit without a physical audience. It was a nice chance to feel like ourselves. While it’s not the same as being there, it was recorded for the public record.
Someday, one day, we’ll see you in person again. We’re looking forward to that.
