Last week my wife and I were out on Main Street having dinner. A local band called Joy and Eric were playing. We hadn’t heard them in a couple of years. It reminded me of how good they are. They’ve played Deer Valley, Red Butte, and many other places.

As usual, we requested a song by a Colorado band called The Samples. Joy and Eric had played with them years ago. When they played “We all move on” it felt like The Samples were in the room.

Joy and Eric are chameleons. Whether they are playing Peter Gabriel, Simon and Garfunkel, or a band you have never heard of (like The Samples) they are spot on. It’s like you are listening to the original band.

We always wished we had a reason to hire the duo for an event. But, you know, a blog like Park Rag doesn’t have a lot of events … or money to have events. That said, if your company (or establishment) does need a great band, you should look up Joy and Eric. We’ve never been disappointed.

If you do, just invite us to their next gig.

Note: The Park Rag doesn’t take advertising. We like what we like and don’t what we don’t. This is something we like.
