Artist description irwin guiffrey is the stage name for a lad who was born and raised is the fine city of calgary, alberta. the name irwin guiffrey is a tribute to my grandmothers: the two names being their respective maiden names. in the tradition of our patriarichal society these are names that often get lost and i thought this would be a neat way to let those names live on. music has always been a part of my life, from church campouts as a child, to years of marching band, to a jazz sextet, and finally now to some earthy folky originals. i don't know if there is a better feeling than sitting around, playing guitar, and singing with friends. purifies the soul.
