ADAM IRVIN BAND

Adam Irvin performed solo-acoustic around Hampton Roads for years before setting out to put a band together. Knowing and understanding how difficult it would be to find like-minded musicians who also grasped the business side of music, he began the process of recruiting. Over the course of a year he interviewed several candidates and carefully selected a handful to actually jam with. The only prospect that stuck was drummer Drew Sestok and he ultimately left the project in July 2023. 

​

Before leaving, Sestok did invite friend/ fellow veteran Erik Mathesius over to take a crack at the bass guitar role. Mathesius is an exceptional musician and accepted the part and has been a massive contributor on several levels. The unexpected contribution came with the addition of keyboardist Clarence Mitchell. Mathesius and Mitchell are in a reggae band and Mitchell offered to come check out the project. Like Mathesius, Mitchell is a phenomenal musician and brings a tremendous amount to the table, especially the original music.

​

After Sestok departed, the band ultimately carried on, resulting in the departure of the electric guitar and an acoustic set being assembled. Although they would prefer to rock a bit harder at times, for now, they will endure a more acoustic/ballad style and will return to rocking when the right drummer comes along. They have 4 plus hours of cover songs and are beginning to chop away at the original music tree and should be releasing their first single, "Make Up Your Mind" in early 2024.
