Evan Brown is a musician, closet cartoonist, frisbee enthusiast, and all around run-of-the-mill guy. As guitarist/backup vocalist for the rock band Shaimus, his guitar playing was featured in the smash hit video game Guitar Hero ("All Of This"), as well as the Rock Band game franchise ("Like a Fool"). Additionally with the band, he has received mainstream radio airplay, licensed music to MTV, signed a publishing deal with North Star Media (with songs appearing on TV shows such as "One Tree Hill"), become a semi-finalist in the International Songwriting Competition ("Turn the Other Way"), and appeared in the Sony/Screen Gems film The Roommate (2010) in an Oscar-worthy performance as "Band Member 3."
Apart from Shaimus, Evan is also a freelance guitar player/composer (including performances with Arielle Verinis at the 2008 Long Beach Blues Festival, Jules Larson and others) and a solo artist. His cheesy rock guitar version of the fight song for the Philadelphia Eagles became a regular feature on the number one morning show in Philly, WMMR's Preston and Steve Show (he would also perform live on the show in 2006).
Evan grew up near Philadelphia, PA where he began playing music at a young age in the church bell choir (with all the cool kids) and later on sax in the school band (with even cooler kids). He first picked up a guitar in middle school; six months later he started his first band and never looked back. Several bands and a few albums later, he attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. He currently resides in Los Angeles, CA, where he enjoys watching sports and reading books about physics, and spends most of his time attempting in vain to maintain a reasonable tan.

Yeah there's a slew of them...loooooots of free time! I think the fact that Batman sounds like Kermit the Frog is my favorite...there's just something messed about that :)
Lionel Hutz: Well, he's kind of had it in for me ever since I accidentally ran over his dog. Actually, replace "accidentally" with "repeatedly," and replace "dog" with "son. "
YES! Let's do something soon! This week is pretty hectic, but how about next? I can even meet you for lunch, if that works better for you. I'll just have to clear it with my boss :P
