Just Two Dads
Playing Smooth Music.
Book Yacht PopsExplore the set list
Leave your baggage on the shoreline as singers and best friends Danger K Varoz and Juicebox Desmond of The Asteroids (Albuquerque The Magazine’s Best Local Band, 2026) help you unwind whatever’s got your dinghy in a knot and set a course for cortisol-free cool at your local craft taproom, lounge, private event or other engagement where the sounds of smooth music are needed. It’s just two dads from Albuquerque with a love of easy-listening pop hits, relaxing vocal melodies and sleek guitar solos. So loosen the frayed rope you call a belt, kick off the flippy floppies, open an ice-cold Topo Chico, pop in your copy of Captain Ron on VHS and put the sound on mute. Your conversations won’t have to compete with our chilled-out collection of smooth pop hits from the ’70s to today. From Paul Simon, Leon Bridges and the Backstreet Boys to Sam Smith, Neil Young and John Mayer, there’s a little bit of something for everyone. You’ll think to yourself, “Damn, are they playing ‘Kiss from a Rose’?” and you’ll be right because we totally are. Have us out to your patio, brewery, or private party. We can play for up to three hours, provide all our own equipment and create an atmosphere of laughter and fun, full of songs you won’t be able to resist singing along to.

The History of
Smooth, Smooth Music.
