Thanks to Brandon & Todd at the Banyan Collective for supporting us and so many other musicians!

Just the Two of Us

We recorded this live at the Monarch in Ogden with #vansessions. Compare this to our original recording in the studio to see how much we've leaned into this groove and how we respond to each other in a live session. Special note: Caryn's singing this sitting down with a broken leg.

Come Together - live at Van Sessions

Recorded live in the alleyway at the Monarch in Ogden, summer of 2022. We hadn't played this except for a quick experiment during rehearsal, but on a whim just decided to run this in the middle of a set. You hear Caryn suggesting how the intro goes, and then we just launch into it and make up an instrumental before the last verse.

Love Is A Losing Game

Recorded live at Van Sessions, 2021. Re-mixed by S&S for fun.

Dance Monkey

We remixed this for fun. Featuring Caryn's whistling and a fun jazz standard vibe.

Dream A Little Dream, live @ Van Sessions

Happy New Year, just 2 weeks late.
We hadn't played together in any form for several weeks, and we hadn't played this in at least a year, maybe a couple. So it was fun to just jump in with this as the lead-in to our set at Gandy Dancer, 14 January 2023.

Dock Of The Bay (with CycleKarts)

We’re an easygoing quartet (vocals, piano, bass, drums) that loves to play whimsical re-creations, interesting blends of genres, classic jazz standards, or ironic twists on simple tunes.
