Josh and Zack met at Oberlin College around the time we made Josh's self-titled debut album. Zack has arranged, played on, and driven to most of the josh albums and gigs since then. In addition to Josh-related work, Zack has just wrapped up his first production gig, producing a new record by singer Laura Cortese.

Sam Kassirer
Piano, keyboards, accordion and weird sounds. [ Web Site | E-mail ]

Sam comes to us via Zack (the two of them were playing jazz together in NYC.) The youngest of Josh's band, Sam also has the most gear. Born and raised in Wellesley, Massachusetts, Sam joined around the time we were making Hello Starling, and has never looked back.

Dave Hingerty
Drums, percussion, photography. [ E-mail ]

Josh met Dave during the early days of Ireland, touring with the Frames (who Dave was touring with at the time.) We ran into Dave so much back then it was like he was already in the band. Then, when we felt we needed a "real" drummer to make Starling, Dave was the top name on our list, based on his work with Nina Hynes, Gemma Hayes, and others. He's been with us ever since. Dave's photography graces most of this website, and he and Josh are working on a coffee-table book now.
