Evan’s musical background is a hodgepodge of the sounds and creativity of Southeast Michigan, where he grew up, as well as Appalachia and Western North Carolina, where he lives today. From the ragged earthiness of the Detroit Jazz community, to the precise lyricism of Asheville based songwriters like Tyler Ramsey, Evan explored and absorbed all of this music while developing his own musical identity. Evan has always been a searcher, looking beyond what he knows to the quiet (and not so quiet) emotional undercurrents of American life.

After years of supporting other artists, in the Fall of 2021 Evan began crafting his first collection of original songs titled Don’t Cry. Musically a mixture of contemporary folk, jazz and indie rock, Don’t Cry explores the way we relate to fear and loss, and rather than confronting or hiding from these feelings, learning to make space for and nurture these parts of ourselves. Recent notable performances include Third Place Music Fest, Golden Folk (AVL), Other Folk (GVL), and many packed house shows.

Evan’s latest release, “Celestial Hum,” is out now. He is currently putting the finishing touches on a collaborative EP with Austin Sebek and Sun Brother due to be released later in 2025, as well as recording his next solo EP.
