The Iry

The Iry, a five piece act based out of Columbus, Ohio features a fresh blend of piano, organ, guitars, percussion and multiple harmonies creating upbeat melodies and catchy hooks. Fused by friendship, the five members uniquely create music which is delivered with passion and solidarity that can only be derived from the bond between them. Cousins Stefan Schwartz (lead vocals, keyboards) and Jordan Lothes (percussion) provide distinct rhythms and melodies that define the core of the band and their kinship.

Remaining members Greg Hewes (guitar), Chris Williams (bass, backing vocals) and Andrew Cox (guitar, backing vocals) complete the sound, each contributing with distinct style. Due to the instrumental composition of The Iry, the band is often compared to Ben Folds, Coldplay and Guster; while strong influences from Radiohead, Beck and Spoon can be heard in the music.
