Ivory Drive
1,765 plays (514 listeners)
Boulder, Denver CO, United States (2007 – present)
Distinctive Indie Rock
With high energy tunes and creative tempo changes, Indie Rock might best describe Ivory Drive’s music, but their sound isn’t easily pigeonholed. Ivory Drive’s five musicians combine on piano, organ, drums, bass, trumpet, and sax to produce songs that are fresh and original with an audience pleasing variety. Unusually complex for “rock” music, their songs are peppered with generous amounts of jazz, folk, blues, world, and even bits of classical.
Ivory Drive has been warmly received at their live shows in the Denver and Boulder area. Venues they’ve played have included the Glen Miller Ballroom and The Rock N Soul in Boulder, Quixote’s, The Climax, and the Oriental Theater in Denver. The band continues with a busy schedule playing other Colorado venues.
People who hear the band for the first time are often pleasantly surprised at their music and how different it is. The band’s appeal is universal - people of all age groups and musical tastes enjoy their music. This kind of reaction confirms that this is a band to watch. Their music uniformly receives descriptions such as “moving,” “lyrical,” “exceptional”, and of course “unique.”
Ivory Drive was started in Boulder, Colorado in the fall of 2007, and included: Van Wampler on keyboards and vocals, Wes Barton on drums, Sean Whissen on bass, and Geoff Boux on saxophone. They began playing in local venues, and recorded an EP in the spring of 2008. In the fall of 2008 trumpet player Colton Crandell joined the band.
