2012 SNL: Here we go again!

Posted on January 4, 2012 by jeff| Leave a comment

Around here, SNL means Sample Night Live. First show of the new year is tonight. Find us house-banding-it the first Wednesday of every month (except February) at the Minnesota History Theater in St. Paul. Tonight, in honor of a recently departed colleague, we’re going all jazz-standards. Next time we may crank it up and rock out, or dip back into our obscure topical tunes from years past. You never know! See you there.

Smarts at Sample Night Live

Who took this? It's nice.

Wet and Wild

Posted on June 15, 2011 by jeff| Leave a comment

Oh, Mother Nature. You opened up the heavens 10 minutes before our most awesome show of the year, dumped buckets of water on our fans and friends, and scared away those who might have discovered us. But we were not deterred, and rocked the mostly empty, wet benches like Wembley Stadium.

Smarts rock Lake Harriet in a rainstorm.

Thanks to an intrepid fan for the photo.
