Righteous Rock 'n Roll & Blues
Salt Lake City, Utah · Est. 2026

The roadhouse jukebox. Live.

Four players, one songbook, the kind of night folks still talk about on Monday.

Roadhouse Revival: Matt Lichtenwalter, Dave Thomas, Evan Smith and Tom Hurley against a brick wall.
The Reel

Four minutes of a roadhouse band on a Saturday-night floor. Shot live, and the audio is ours, straight off the board.

What a Night Is

The Songs You Forgot You Loved

We play the roadhouse jukebox. Blues, classic rock, a little country, the songbook a certain generation built a life to. Freddie King to Pink Floyd by way of ZZ Top, Bill Withers, and Dwight Yoakam. Not one style on a loop all night. The whole book, played like it is ours, on account of by now it is.

Every good party's got a rhythm all its own, and we can feel every beat. Three sets, sized to your room. We come on easy while folks are still finding their seats, bring it up when the floor is ready, and set the night down buzzing before anyone reaches for a coat. Tell us the one from the wedding, or the one that was always on in the truck, and we'll perfect it, because this night counts.

Turns out you still know every word.

The Debut

One Hundred People, One Full Floor

We opened at Athena VII in Sandy April 2026. A hundred people turned up, the floor stayed full, and the bar had one of its better nights in a while. The owner noticed. That was the first one.

TESTIMONIAL TO COME: quote from Mark (Athena VII owner) or a guest from the debut night.
What Comes With Us

Everything the Night Needs

We bring the whole sound system and set it up so the stage is not a wall of equipment. Clean sound that carries to the back of the room, loud enough for the floor when it fills and low enough to talk over while dinner is still going. Full stage lighting fit for the room. A mic and an MC on hand for the toasts, the announcements, the moment with the gift. Music between our sets? Ours or your own playlist. And two or three of their songs, perfected for the night.

That last one is the part they do not forget.
