"Big fan of your work. Enjoyed your live cd immensely." - Huey Lewis
"Lynn Asher is a powerhouse singer who can belt when it's called for and then bring it down low for a heart-wrenching ballad. Asher and guitarist Michael LaMacchia think musically as one, writing tuneful, crowd-pleasing originals. Evolution is a band that has truly evolved into something even Charles Darwin would find irresistible." - Paul Liberatore Marin Independent Journal
With soul, humor and disarming honesty, vocalist Lynn Asher & guitarist Michael La Macchia are creating a fresh and moving genre of original songwriting and performance.
Employing an emotional force and dynamic range reminiscent of Janis Joplin and Lucinda Williams, Lynn's voice is a power to contend with. A sweet spot in her blues inspired wail can knock an audience out of their seats, and the next moment, with one fiercely whispered note, draw a tear from their eyes. Michael's guitar grooves flash and flow, morphing from jazz to Latin, funk to Brazilian, laying the ground for the music, and leading the listener to his solos, thrilling high-wire acts, stretched taut between anchors of intriguing melodic ideas and syncopated time.
Lynn and Michael collectively share over three decades
of performances at San Francisco Bay Area's most prestigious venues. The Great American Music Hall, Yoshi's, Kimball's, Sweetwater, The Boom Boom Room, The Freight & Salvage, Big Brother & the Holding Company, Bob Weir, Talking Head's Jerry Harrison; the list of world class clubs and collaborating artists continues to grow.
Asher and LaMacchia deliver a one/two knockout punch; a push/pull of sublime and gritty leaving audiences with nowhere to run except into the heart of EV-O-LU-TION's unique musical collaboration. Whether your audience is laughing at their personal anecdotes, in tears from their original songs, or singing along with a chorus too catchy to ignore, they'll walk away moved, changed and thoroughly entertained.
