Ivan & Alyosha @ ST MARKS CATHEDRAL

"Ivan & Alyosha, also known as I&A, is a folk-pop, indie, rock band from Seattle, Washington formed in 2007 by Tim Wilson and Ryan Carbary. Known for their sweet, Beatles-Esque melodies, jangly guitars, heartfelt songwriting, and energetic live performances, I&A has toured with and supported everyone from NEEDTOBREATHE, The Head & The Heart, Delta Spirit, Aimee Mann, and Brandi Carlile.

With over a decade of touring and recording under their belts, Ivan & Alyosha continue to hone their creative voice, unafraid to let their sound evolve while staying true to their folk-pop roots. The band released their most recent self titled full length album in October 2020 via Nettwerk Music Group at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Seattle Times called it “A mature, masterful work with sonic and thematic heft, and intuitive production.” Saying “The band’s sound has flowered into its own unique, folk-pop grandeur.” However, with tour dates and other release plans put on hold or canceled due to the ongoing pandemic, the band shifted to recording and live-streaming from their studio and any available opportunities in the Seattle area.

After several months of planning and being postponed and eventually rescheduled, Ivan & Alyosha played an hour long live-streamed concert event with the Seattle Symphony on March 26th, 2021 at Benaroya Hall. The band was also able to record the entire show and plan to release “Ivan & Alyosha, Live At Benaroya Hall With The Seattle Symphony” in June 2022.

To celebrate the release of the new album and collaboration with the Seattle Symphony, I&A will be performing at St. Marks Cathedral in Seattle on Friday, June 24th. The show will be intimate, stripped down and acoustic, accompanied by strings and other symphonic instrumentation with arrangements by accomplished Seattle composer Andrew Joslyn. A long time I&A collaborator, it was Andrew who curated, orchestrated, and arranged the band's March 26th “Essential Series” performance with the Seattle Symphony. On June 24th at St. Marks Cathedral I&A will be performing these very same arrangements and joining a long list of local favorites who have taken the stage at Seattle’s historic and hallowed St. Marks Cathedral.
