  • Bio

    ..Tacoma's Best songwriter: Evan Purcell could write a song about a paper bag that would make you cry. Purcell is the king of nostalgia. A performance by Purcell is like a patchwork portrait of real life characters and their poignant real life stories. Some songs feel like letters to people he has known. All are touched with a sense of understanding and sympathy for humanity. Everyday items become special as they are draped in memories. What makes his songs so important is the connection they make with people when they hear them. It’s almost as though Purcell is a novelist who happens to write songs. .. -Weekly Volcano .. .. Northwest singer/songwriter Evan Purcell has been a major force in the South Sound music scene for the better part of 20 years. As a member of the progressive folk band the Prairie Dogs, Evan constructs songs about daily life in a crisp acoustic setting with pining, lush harmonies. .. Evan spent the early part of his life in the beer tents of Germany, France and Holland to the sound of polka music and Hino. He eventually arrived in Tacoma at the start of the 80s and was a founding member of the pivotal Tacoma alternative ska band, Natural Causes. After stints in Olympia and Seattle, Evan has wound up back in the City of Destiny which he now calls his home. .. His songs are a combination of roots rock-American style, with edgy shades of bluegrass and folk thrown in on the side. Evan sings songs pulled from everyday life.
