THE BAND
JOSH VITALIE
// drums
Human metronome with dinosaur blood.
CADIE ARCHER

saw/vocals/etc.
Best looking member of the band. By far.
BEN OLSON
// guitar / vocals
Total asshole.
Harold's IGA is an indie folk-rock trio from Sandpoint, Idaho. Ben Olson is on the guitar and keyboard and vocals and he writes the songs. Cadie Archer plays the ukulele, banjo, piano, musical saw, accordion, melodica, bones and a zillion other trinkets, also contributing vocals. Josh Vitalie makes them all look good with his driving drum beat.
They released their first self-titled album in 2011, followed by "Mobile Homes" in 2013 and "Do We Jump?" in 2015. All were recorded by Jesse Gunn in Sandpoint, Idaho.
Harold's released a 5-song EP called "Uncivil War" on Nov. 3, 2018. All songs recorded by Kevin Dorin.
