Twinray

Desiree Irwin and Mike Poupko came together in early 2008 to form Twin Ray. Twin Ray's eclectic mix of rock, roots, pop, and blues has been described as catchy, quirky, intense and fun. While staying true to their classic roots the band manages to come across in a unique, but current way. The music is centered around Desiree's lush vocal style and Mike's indelibly creative approach to both acoustic and electric guitar. They have also managed to assemble a group of some of the finest studio musicians in Chicago as well as the phenomenally talented female vocal trio known as the "Pin-Ups." Desiree is known for her original project Luvdezi, work in the blues community (Buddy Guy), theater (musical director for Tony & Tina's Wedding), and dueling pianos. Mike's credentials include the original band Dearborn ("Best Rock Album of '04"-CMA, songs on NBC, and countless high profile opening slots), theater, and studio work in Chicago. The members of Twin Ray look to carry the momentum they have gained from past successes in music to their exciting new project.I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
