Introducing Ivan and Alyosha
Seattle’s Ivan & Alyosha — who borrow their name from a pair of characters from Dostoevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov — deliver songs of struggle, perseverance and spirituality.
Their bubbling brew of stirringly strummed folk-rock guitars, surging instrumental interaction and buoyant blend of vocals that reflects the band’s family-style camaraderie, evoke a timeless pop ideal that’s as affecting emotionally as it is pleasing to the ear.
The intrepid ensemble—comprised of core members Tim Wilson (lead vocals and acoustic guitar), Ryan Carbary (guitars, piano and vocals), Tim Kim (electric guitar and vocals) and Tim’s brother Pete Wilson (bass and vocals), plus a revolving assortment of friends and collaborators on keyboards, drums and other instruments—has spent much of the past two years on the road, traveling the highways and back roads of America, often with wives and children in tow, building a loyal fan base with their joyous, high-energy live performances.
Ivan & Alyosha are set to release their debut full-length album ‘All The Times We Had’ in the UK later this year.
