Biography: band

For years, Irene's Garden has been making their own original music in the Central Wisconsin area. The vocal harmonies, mixed with keys, bass, guitar, percussion, and violin create what's been dubbed "organic rock and roll," and "hippie disco." Though their music tends to defy genre, influences from jazz, country, rock and roll and club music are apparent in their songs. And whatever you may call the music that comes from the seven member ensemble gets people out of their seats and onto the dance floor. When you go to an Irene's Garden show, expect to hear songs about love, life, and outer space. The band plays venues ranging from clubs to music festivals. To go along with several recording projects under their belts, Irene's Garden is currently working their newest project, Big Rock Theory, due this summer.

Active Band Members

Jeff Lamarche

jeff lamarche

Jeff LaMarche is a phenomenal lead guitar player who is able to create seemingly infinite melodic variations over complex chord changes. He also writes the coolest, refreshingly original songs and is an awesome father, husband, teacher and friend.

I don't question the rumors that Jeff's ancestry can be traced back to time of Eleanor of Aquitaine in the courts of which his troubadourian progenitors entertained the royalty

 

Jenilee Klish

Jenilee

Jenilee Klish  is a classically trained bassist with formidable skills. Equally at home on stand-up or electric bass, wearing tennies or stilettos, Jennilee lays down the bottom with precision and holds this whole thing together.

 

Jenny Ludeman

jenny

Blessed with a  knockout voice and an acute sense of pitch rhythm and  harmony, Jenny Ludeman is an essential part of the intricate fabric that gives Irene's Garden Its magic.

She also plays a mean mandolin and carries a silver hip flask.




 

Rick Martin

Rick Martin

The band feels very fortunate to have had Rick Martin on the trap kit for so many years. He played with both the Stellectrics and Irene's Garden keeping some of us more temporally challenged members afloat with his precise and rock-steady time keeping skills. Not only that - he's also a kind, generous and patient human being (and he had to be to put up with us for so many years). We thank you.

 

Sarah Ludeman

sarah

Sarah Ludeman: Mother, musician, creator, healer, Sarah is a  Wisconsin Legend.  With  trans-warp drive energy focused into vocals, guitar, drums and percussion,  she continues to generate creative waves of positive musical energy whenever and wherever she plays.





 

Sheilagh Lyon

Sheilagh

Sheilagh Lyon:  The most recent addition to the band, Sheilagh seems to have been drawn into our circle by some kind of psychic magnetism. Her cherubic presence perfectly compliments her skillful and celestial violin technique.

Biography: band

For years, Irene's Garden has been making their own original music in the Central Wisconsin area. The vocal harmonies, mixed with keys, bass, guitar, percussion, and violin create what's been dubbed "organic rock and roll," and "hippie disco." Though their music tends to defy genre, influences from jazz, country, rock and roll and club music are apparent in their songs. And whatever you may call the music that comes from the seven member ensemble gets people out of their seats and onto the dance floor. When you go to an Irene's Garden show, expect to hear songs about love, life, and outer space. The band plays venues ranging from clubs to music festivals. To go along with several recording projects under their belts, Irene's Garden is currently working their newest project, Big Rock Theory, due this summer.
