Musical improv based in Atlanta.
Measure Island was formed after some members took a musical improv class taught by our very own Fiona Campbell. We began rehearsing in Fiona's cozy living room and with each rehearsal, our chemistry grew stronger.
In April 2023, we took to the stage for our debut performance, and as soon as the spotlight hit, magic ensued. From that moment on, there was no stopping Measure Island.
With uproarious laughter echoing through the streets of Atlanta, we've taken the city by storm, one improvised melody at a time.
Meet the group.
