Irvin Music Studio

Performance ~ Lessons ~ Production

/ Bio

Irvin Music Studio is the hub for the musical projects of Sam and friends. At this time, Irvin Music Studio offers four main performance acts: Solo Guitar, Guitar/Violin Duets (sometimes with cello for a trio), a jazz ensemble, and Dinobirds (improv rock duo). In addition to lessons (Sam teaches guitar, trumpet and production mainly but also offers beginner lessons in drums, bass, ukulele and piano.) and performance, IMS can provide basic recording/engineering, producing original compositions for various applications, spoken word (like audiobooks) and simple demos for local musicians What sets us apart from other organizations is that each endeavor, without exception, involves either Sam or Kylie. We do not represent other musicians, manage projects that we don't play in or otherwise advertise anything that we cannot fully stand behind as an integral creative voice in the activity. Although, we are happy to collaborate so check out our website and let's make something!
