Iris and the Shade

Iris And The Shade met at a random bar, on a random late night, on a random whim, after two decades of circling each other unknowingly in their hometown. Their meeting began a love story full of grace and grit and lots and lots of music. Their porch singing and mutual musings pushed them to create the indie folk rock duo called Iris And The Shade. They have collaborated with renowned artists such as Matt Costa and Donavon Frankenreiter, both of which they are releasing co-written and featured songs with in 2024, in conjunction with the new album “Cosmic Rollercoaster” to be released on July 19th 2024.

They sound like the ebb and flow of the ocean; sweet and calm or rough and storming. Either way they have a story to tell as they continue to release new music and tour the United States during the summer of 2024.

Their mission is to connect with others through the music, while positively contributing to the causes they care about. Iris and the Shade are passionate about the welfare of animals, de-crowding and increased funding of dog shelters, and the cleaning of their local beaches/oceans.
