Arnolds Park, IA — August 1, 2025 — Ease into your Thursday evening at Lake Okoboji with Boon & Lambert, a polished acoustic duo performing live at Mullets Okoboji from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM. With interconnected lead vocals and guitar arrangements, they deliver a crowd-pleasing range of music—from classic 60s, 70s, and 80s hits to favorites from the 90s and beyond—paired perfectly with lakeside dining and drinks.
About the Artists
Boon & Lambert is an acoustic duo comprised of veteran musicians David Boon (formerly of Sioux Falls) and Gary “Gar” Lambert (formerly of Minneapolis). The duo formed in Okoboji around 2010 after years of individual performances, and they now bring over 40 years of combined musical experience to every show. Their repertoire spans decades, from The Beatles and Queen to Johnny Cash, Neon Trees, and beyond. Each set features strong harmonies, guitar interplay, and a performance style built around listener connection and energy.
Their long-standing presence at Mullets Okoboji and other Iowa Great Lakes venues has made them favorites among locals and visitors alike. Their sets feel familiar, energetic, and evocative of eras worth remembering. At the same time, they leave plenty of space to converse, dine, and enjoy the lakeside atmosphere.
The View, The Vibe, The Soundtrack
Mullets Okoboji’s patio sets the scene for an atmosphere that’s both relaxed and engaging. As the lakefront light softens, the setting lends itself to music that’s good enough to pay attention to but gentle enough to blend with conversation.
When Boon & Lambert take the stage, expect:
- Acoustic interplay with layered vocals and tight harmony
- A perfectly-paced mix of recognizable songs spanning multiple decades
- A friendly atmosphere where guests feel part of the experience—not just spectators
- Enough energy to lift an evening, without overwhelming the lakeside dining vibe
They offer those kinds of performances that feel deeply familiar yet always refreshing.
Throwback Sounds with a Lakeside Pulse
Boon & Lambert perform songs and recreate musical moments. Their sets move fluidly between styles and decades, giving listeners the feeling of browsing a well-loved mixtape in real time. It’s part nostalgia, part discovery, and entirely grounded in the setting.
Expect a little bit of everything:
- Acoustic takes on Fleetwood Mac, Queen, and The Beatles
- Twists on 90s and early 2000s hits that surprise and entertain
- Country classics and Americana ballads that fit the Midwestern feel
- Smooth harmonies and guitar transitions that make each song feel effortless
- Natural pacing that invites conversation between friends and families
This is music made for the moment. Unplugged but never dull, familiar but never predictable.
