Founded in 2012 by brother and sister Luke and Annie Roes,[1] the band now consists of guitarist and singer Luke Roes, Bassist Chris Levesque, and Drummer Thomas Perquin.[2][3] The band released their full-length debut album 'Morning Light' on June 9, 2015.[4] The album was produced by Dan Brodbeck and engineered by João Carvalho. In the summer of 2015 the band won CFNY 102.1 the Edge's Next Big Thing contest out of 442 bands from across Canada.[5][6] The following autumn they were the Grand Prize winners of Canada's Walk of Fame's Emerging Artist Music Mentorship Program which awarded the band $25,000, studio time, and a performance during Canada's Walk of Fame events.[7][8] The band also ranked well in CBC's Searchlight competition making it to the finals, eventually placing fourth.[9][10]

Their first single from Morning Light "Warpaint" garnered significant airplay across Canada and even charted on CBC2's charts.[11]

In the winter of 2016, Ivory Hours did their first cross-Canada tour in support of Morning Light.[12][13]
