I&R

I&R is the music of Josh Cournoyer, a Nashville-based songwriter, bandleader, and recordist.  The duality
of his New England DIY origins and the collaborative playground that is Music City, his adopted home
since 2014, is the connective thread throughout I&R’s recordings and live shows. Hymnal Victoria, the
2024 extended play and follow up to 2019’s Bankrupt City and 2022’s Keep the Sun in Your Eyes, shines
with optimism in the face of trying times. Once again the songs are composed, engineered, and
produced by Cournoyer with contributions from his frequent collaborators, Mike Poorman (Hot Rod
Circuit), Zac Clark (Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness) and Joe Pisapia (Guster, kd lang).  The latest
release also features Suzie Zeldin (The Narrative, Twin Forks), Dylan Sevey (The Minks, Ron Gallo) and Dave Covell (Shangri-La Studios).  During the writing and recording of Hymnal Victoria, Josh
honed his craft contributing to studio recording and live performances with artists like Ben Folds, Robert
Finley, and Ian Ferguson.
