The Ida Haze Band

The Ida Haze Band have been playing music together since first picking up their instruments sometime in the ’80s.  Since then, they’ve been collaborating and spinning out their ever-evolving blend of folk, rock, pop and Americana in clubs, cafes, garages, house parties and other venues around the Twin Cities. As a band full of songwriters – Mark Schirmacher, Chris Koshiol, Chriss Mester, and Glenn Olson – their repertoire includes a bevy of original songs that are borne out their varying and sympathetic influences: Dylan, The Jayhawks, U2, Trip Shakespeare, Prince, Bon Jovi, Beatles, The Eagles, Chet Atkins, Steely Dan, Semisonic, Willy Nelson, Rush…
