About this Event

Iris And the Shade, an indie folk-rock duo, just finished a U.S. Tour opening for Donavon Frankenreiter in all of March 2025. Along with the tour, they released a new song called “BIG HEART” featuring Donavon Frankenreiter on vocals and guitar. The new single is a throwback to the surf rock vibe of Jack Johnson~Donavon Frankenreiter, with a female lead vocal (Iris). The song also features Matt Costa on back-up vocals for the anthem chorus, and it is mixed and mastered by Robert Carranza whom is world re-known for engineering Jack Johnson’s In Between Dreams record. They also released a new record called ~Cosmic Rollercoaster~ produced by Matt Costa and it features their co-written lead single called Edge Of The World and their oldies throwback hook song called Be Your Girl.

Iris And The Shade met at a random bar, on a random late night, on a random whim, after two decades of circling each other unknowingly in their hometown Dana Point. Their meeting began with a trip (Chase aka “The Shade” tripped Iris with his foot to meet her) and that began a love story full of grace and grit and lots and lots of music. Their porch singing and mutual musings pushed them to create the indie folk-rock duo called Iris And The Shade. They sound like the ebb and flow of the ocean; sweet and calm or rough and storming. Either way they have a story to tell as they continue to release new music.

Their mission is to connect with others through the music, while positively contributing to the causes they care about. Iris and the Shade are passionate about the welfare of animals, de-crowding and increased funding of dog shelters, and the cleaning of their local beaches and oceans.
