“Evan is a force to be reckoned with - he is a self made artist who has a very strong work ethic and is professional in all his dealings. to top it all off, the music he makes is a unique blend of modern and vintage soul that has a smooth sheen to it, not to be confused with “studio polish” , this guy can play, write and sing!”
— Chris Mara, Welcome to 1979
“When I first heard Evan sing, there was such a cool suede-like passion to his voice. Full of texture but also so smooth to the touch…and to the ears. I thought to myself, he must be an old soul. I have been a fan ever since.”
— Sandy Knox, songwriter
