Bringing the House Down: The Night Owls Rock the Upstate

In this lively episode of the Storehouse Media Group Podcast, host Sherrie Price Clark and co-host Neil Haley sit down with two core members of the upstate South Carolina-based cover band Night Owls — Matt Jones (keyboard, guitar, vocals) and Darren Sipp (guitar, vocals). The Night Owls are known for their wildly energetic live shows, tight harmonies, and incredible setlists that span the '70s, '80s, and early '90s. Sherrie discovered the band during a live performance and was so impressed, she knew she had to feature them on the podcast. In this fun and engaging conversation, the band discusses their musical influences, how the group evolved, what makes their dynamic work, and how they’re building momentum in the live music scene. From hilarious bio Easter eggs to heartfelt stories about connecting with their audience, this episode is a tribute to the passion, precision, and personality that define great live music. How the Night Owls got started—and why the “side project” became the main act The band's favorite eras of music and why they avoid “Dirty 30” cover song clichés Why live music is more popular than ever post-COVID Their creative dynamic and how accountability strengthens their sound Sherrie’s first impression of the Night Owls—and why they blew her away The (fictional) drummer involved in a McDonald’s Monopoly scandal 🤣 Why harmonies, energy, and connection matter more than flash Their upcoming shows and what fans can expect next Plans to launch Night Owls merch—finally! “We don’t do the same 30 songs every band plays—we dig deeper and it shows.” “People are hungry for connection, and live music brings that back.” “You can feel when a band gets along offstage—it shows up in the music.” “We play for people who actually listen—and we love that.” “We’re just passionate musicians with good chemistry and harmonies that click.” Friday, May 30 – Noma Square / Main Street Fridays (Greenville, SC) This Friday – Smiley’s on the Rocks (Greenville, SC – get there early!)
