Artist Profile:
Ivory Tower Project is a new breed of 'old school' rockers. Music for those who love the 'retro' sound of Melodic Classic Rock, and Power Pop. Ivory Tower Project (aka:ITP) was founded by NY veteran songwriters: Johnny Jace and Mark Regula.. 

Artist History:
Webster's definition of "Ivory Tower" is: a figurative place of mental withdrawal from reality. The phrase is used as a symbol of escapism. NYC veteran guitarist: Tony Novarro was soon recruited, and Novarro and Regula formed the core of the ITP. As band members left, they were replaced by the NY Metro area's finest studio musicians that transcended Ivory Tower from being a band into a Project.

ITP signed with Guerrilla Records and released a four-song EP entitled: "Red Hot" which was released internationally. The signature single from the EP: "Burning" charted #1 on MP3Songs.com: Adult Contemporary Rock Chart for both the USA and later in England. "Red Hot" has received rave reviews and airplay on over 260 radio stations in 23 countries worldwide. Tracks from the EP have been included on 5 compilation CDs in 3 countries. In 2005, ITP received the Gold Artist Award from internet station: Radio Gets Wild in England. Currently they are in the studio recording their full length CD.
