JACKSONVILLE, FL – September 16, 2008—Local music group, The Ignatius Wrylys, has reunited with their former guitarist/engineer, Dave Torre, after more than four years of separation. Originally from Flint, Michigan, the Wrylys have been performing as a trio since their arrival in Jacksonville after Torre’s departure in August 2004. Now having regained a songwriting partner, multi-instrumentalist, and recording engineer The Ignatius Wrylys have a new excitement for music making. Their first performance as a quartet will take place on October 11 at BlahBlah.

“We’ve tried lots of fourth-members. But when Davey joined, he fit in really well with us.” said singer and songwriter Curtis Burnash. “David Torre rocks the boat so only pure souls are left.”

“We’re like peanut butter and jelly!” claims drummer Deric LaFuente.

“I really believe in their music, in our music,” says Torre. “Something special happens when we get together and I can’t spend any more time without it.”

The Ignatius Wrylys, formerly Saint Johns Band, have been performing together since their formation in Flint, MI in 2000. Based around the compositions of lead singer Curtis Burnash, the Wrylys have developed a strong following in both Flint and Jacksonville. They have performed locally, nationally, and at the World Youth Day in Cologne, Germany, August 2005. Releases include Green Cloud EP (2002), Three Songs for You My Love (2003), The OtherSide LP (2005), and Love and the Blue Lights EP (2006).

Dave Torre is a recent graduate of the University of Miami’s Music Engineering program where he studied viola, guitar, and piano as well as audio and computer science. His recording engineering earned him first prize in the Audio Engineering Society’s recording competition in 2006. Torre spent summer 2007 working at PureMix Music Production Facilities in lower Manhattan, NY. He constantly plays and engineers music from classical to jazz to pop.
