Idle Heirs

Idle Heirs is a band born from necessity; forged through a need to articulate previously unspoken feelings, illuminating the darkest recesses and inhabiting them wholeheartedly. The two piece band from the Kansas City area, is a tight knit unit that hums with creativity and revels in the freedom of creating exactly what their hearts desire.

For over a decade Sean Ingram’s focus had been elsewhere; due to the prolonged hiatus of Coalesce, music was no longer at the forefront of his artistic endeavors. When events – on both a global and personal level, and specifically, where the two intersect – conspired to bring Ingram to a place where music once again became essential, the seed for Idle Heirs was planted. Rather than the conditions being right for a musical reprise, the conditions had to be all wrong, leaving only one way forward.

Having connected with musician and producer, Josh Barber, Ingram already knew who his co-conspirator for this mission would be. The two friends had discussed working together on music but their earliest efforts had stalled. Describing himself as “a doer, not a dreamer”, Ingram made it clear to Barber that there was an increasing urgency to getting the project off the ground. Barber understood how imperative this was to them both, and took dramatic measures to kickstart the creative process.
