Ivan & Alyosha is an American indie rock band from Seattle, formed in 2007 by Tim Wilson and Ryan Carbary.
Their first release was an extended play, "The Verse, the Chorus," produced by Eli Thomson in Los Angeles, California.
At the time the band did not have a name, but during a discussion about the nameless project Eli Thompson suggested "Ivan and Alyosha" from The Brothers Karamazov.
Ivan & Alyosha spent a few weeks in Los Angeles tracking with Producer Eli Thompson and drummer Frank Lenz in October 2007.
Supporting artists that include Brandi Carlile, Aimee Mann, John Vanderslice, The Lone Bellow, and Needtobreathe, I&A have crisscrossed the U.S. and Canada several times, earning a reputation for energetic and fun live performances.
