SLCene Suggests: Ivan & Alyosha at Kilby

IVAN & ALYOSHA, KILBY COURT, Thursday, April 4, 7 p.m., $12

All you folks who fell in love with The Head and the Heart over the past year or two, get ready to meet your next musical dream date. Also hailing from Seattle, Ivan & Alyosha’s debut album, All the Times We Had, arrived this winter, and it is full of killer vocal harmonies and some seriously strong folk-rock songcraft. Lead singer Tim Wilson’s way with a lyric would do other, older Wilsons of the Beach Boys variety proud, and together with his bandmates, he’s concocted what is already one of my favorite albums of the year so far. I have a feeling, again much like The Head and the Heart, that Ivan & Alyosha might only be able to fit into Kilby Court now–they’ll be playing bigger digs on return trips to SLC. Fort Atlantic and L’Anarchiste open the show.
