Ivan & Alyosha

Hear the hooky folk pop band Ivan & Alyosha perform in the Soundcheck studio.

There is no one actually named Ivan or Alyosha in the Seattle folk-pop act Ivan & Alyosha– the band takes its name from Fyodor Dostoevsky’s epic novel, “The Brothers Karamazov.” For the band’s own work, though, they’ve kept the format a bit more concise, releasing a series of EPs, the latest of which is called “Fathers Be Kind.” They join us in studio for a live performance.
