Rob's groups have been performing for the Entrepreneur of the year awards each year for the past decade, and this year Gold Standard had a blast at both the Salt Lake City and San Francisco EOY Award events. Here's a little recap from the SLC awards at the Grand America Hotel!
Exotic lobster rolls, the iconic Fairmont Hotel and the San Francisco Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Awards Show - it doesn’t get much classier than that. Gold Standard spent the day enjoying the finer things of San Francisco, and spent the night honoring some of the countries most forward-thinking entrepreneurs.
Gold Standard celebrated Cinco de Mayo in style by performing for a beautiful poolside wedding. To mark the occasion, the band infused many popular hits of yesterday and today with a subtle Latin vibe, helping to personalize this Cinco de Mayo wedding. And, as a special treat, the band closed out the night dancing to a special Latin Remix Night at Maxwell’s with DJ Robot Dream.
We had the opportunity to perform for an event hosted by Frank Abagnale who was portrayed by Leonardo DeCaprio in the film "Catch Me If You Can" based on his true story. We love Austin and hope to be back again soon!
We were filmed recently performing at Maxwell's in downtoan Salt Lake City. We performed "Suit & Tie", "Havana", and "Marry You". Thanks for watching!
We had a great time in New Orleans, and at the Sundance Film Festival! Check out a few of our recent adventures and watch our latest addition to the band Chloe perform in our latest vlog!
We often travel between Salt Lake City and San Francisco so have performed for various tech functions in the bay area but were very excited to be invited to provide entertainment for the Salt Lake City Silicon Slopes Tech Summit 2018. Here are a few moments from our performances.
You might notice a new voice in the mix! That's the amazing Chloe who will be performing with us on many upcoming events. I'll let her performance speak for itself . . .
This week with so much tragedy and destruction, "We must laugh in the face of our helplessness against the forces of nature - or go insane” ― Charlie Chaplin
Here are some outtakes to lighten your mood . . . .
Amangani Jackson Hole was the perfect setting for watching the Solar Eclipse. We performed there for their eclipse party the night before then were able to soak in the event in their hot tub and spa. Also this past month we celebrated Conn's Birthday, check out some footage from his roller-skating party, and other general silliness we had to share!

We thought you could use some 360° rescue puppy play time . . . about 10 minutes worth!
As you can see, we really enjoyed spending time with these 9 chihuahua puppies rescued from California at the Utah Humane Society. We are also able to take a tour of the facilities and learn about the many amazing rescue dogs, cats, birds, and other animals for whom the Humane Society is a temporary home.

We had the fun experience of providing music for a winter ski resort wedding in Park City last month.
The lodge was accessible only by gondola, and as you can see it was quite a ride getting to the site!

We had a great time performing for a Catholic Mardi Gras charity event this weekend. Here are a few pictures! Photos by Bear Mountain Studios.
For thousands of years mankind has placed music at the center of community gatherings, celebrations, and social functions. It is truly a universal language. You can feel this at live shows. There is nothing quite like it. There is an energy that flows from live performers and is reciprocated by the audience, and everyone involved is somehow lifted by the experience. We love to perform, we've all been doing it since we were young kids. Over the years we've honed our craft and learned how to best respond to each live setting, crafting and performing our set specific for each event. We've been having a lot of fun lately creating textures and even songs right on the spot at live events to fit the mood. Conn is actually really good at coming up with lyrics to fit the moment- a skill he has developed over many years of constant song making. You start to see the world differently the more you use the lens of music in your life.
We feel like a musician needs to be a craftsman- a great deal of care needs to be put into the way the music is presented. There is a spirit to creating that is infectious- and we're really caught up in it now. We're excited to be working on new original songs for an upcoming album release. In the meantime, you'll find us improvising and stretching boundaries on stage- working out new ideas, trying to make moments count, and sharing in the celebration of music that brings people together better than anything else. It feels like the world needs that more than ever these days. Til' next time- we hope to see you out on the road this year.
