Artist description I write in a range of styles but what is most important to me is interesting songs with strong melodies.

Music Style Rock/Pop

Musical Influences Very wide, from Iron Maiden to Dave Matthews Band

Artist History I began playing guitar 20 years ago. Graduated from Berklee College of Music in 1993 with a B.A. in Music Production and Engineering. Played lead guitar for the progressive rock band Tempest for three years. I have played and recorded with Bill Kopecky of the prog band Kopecky. In July 2002 I released an independently produced CD titled "Lines On The Wall" which contains ten of my original songs and features my guitar, vocal and bass playing.

Group Members Solo

Instruments Guitar, Vocal

Albums Lines On The Wall (Independent 2002); with Tempest - Live at The Philadelphia Folk Festival (Independent 2000), Balance (Magna Carta Records 2001)

Press Reviews "Balance is perhaps the group's most hard-rocking effort to date, particularly due to Evans' crunching electric guitar. At times he conjurs up comparisons to Richie Blackmore; other times the virtuosity and eclecticism of Lanny Cordolla surfaces. Evans' two instrumental numbers, "Dance of the Sand Witches" and "Battle Mountain Breakdown," are scorching worldbeat rockers that needn't take a back seat to Jimmy Page or any of the '70s guitar gods who dared to venture beyond basic three-chord speed and cock rock."
