Dave Evans was born in Portsmouth, Ohio (Scioto, Ohio) and has been an avid lover of Bluegrass Music since the age of eight. When asked to tell a little about himself in his own words, the following is what he had to say: One of the first memories I have is when my mother, Bessie Evans, purchased an old Silvertone 5-string banjo which was a Christmas gift for my father, Bill Evans. Shortly after Christmas, I found myself seated on the floor of our home at the time in Columbus, Ohio. I was listening to my father play the first banjer licks I would hear.
Pop (what I called my father) played the old-time Clawhammer-style. I was eight years old and had been playing the accordion for about a year, but when Pop introduced me to the beautiful sound of the 5-string banjo, something happened to me. Like most kids, I was searching for one special item of interest, something that would become a goal setter in my life. I would find myself able to play that ole' banjer really well someday. Needless to say, after six or seven years of hard, never-ending practice and determination, I found I was well on my way to becoming what I wanted: to be called a "banjer picker".
HEY DAVE JUST WANTED TO STOP BY AND SAY HELLO LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AGAIN AT JOE'S LOST CREEK NEW YEARS EVE. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BUDDY AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND BE WITH YOU IN YOUR TRAVELS. LOVE IN JESUS CHRIST THE MOORE FAMILY
You would be SO welcome to play for us here in Norway! Fancy a couple of gigs here up north? "You won't be satisfied that way" is the best! Have a peaceful x-mas!
is that your own place and will there be a lot of excellent live music ? Wow, I really would love to be there...I know it will be just first class like always. Hope you will have a lot more concerts there and when I'm in the USA I sure will look it up and swing by...and hope I can bring my friends Dwight and Flo Whitley with me, Dwight needs to make music again...
Hope you have a great turnout and hope maybe somebody can record it for all to hear? I sure would love to buy a cd or even better a DVD of it!
You need to install a webcam for live streaming from this place, how about that :-)
Best regards, Jutta (sitting here in germany wishing she would be in KY)
