IVORY
Indie / Rock / Alternative
With piano ballads and pop songs centered on the eighty-eight keys of a piano, Wisconsin act Ivory aren't afraid to create music that rushes through rather than over their audience.
The Midwestern group, fronted by singer Nathaniel Swokowski with Thomas Bishop on drums, Nathan Dengel on guitar and Adam Voruda on bass, drew inspiration from their hometown of Appleton, a small college community consumed with paper mills, hunting gear, and taverns.
In just a few years, Ivory's lush instrumentation and epic sound has earned them the attention of fans and industry across the country. Following the successful self-release of their Ivory EP - recorded at Smart Studios in Madison (Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Hawthorne Heights) - Ivory start 2007 with a fresh set of songs and plans to tour - winning over America one vibrato, tenuous, mood-setting note at a time.

Well today is May 29, and I was completely bored out of
my mind. Then I found Ivory. Your seemingly passionate
lyrics and gripping music instantly made a believer out
of me. You guys seem to know what you are doing. Best
of Luck and thanks for the inspiration.
