Evan Davis: Acoustic guitar, keyboards, bass & vocals.
ABOUT THE SONGS: "All American Boy" is from my CD, Edith's Mystery, which you can listen to by clicking on the CD cover below. "All American Boy" is about our soldiers in Iraq. *******"Super Waffle Man," my latest post, recorded at home, is going to be on You
Tube soon with a video that I am working on. I'll keep you posted! "Paradise" is about traveling to a new homeland, and envisioning how beautiful it will be, just like they did when they were on those small ships coming to America. On a personal level, it was about planning to move from Ohio to Florida during the really bad winter of '04. This recording is a special one that occurred within the last 6 months or so, wherein my old friend Larry Rothermel and his girlfriend Edie (drums) played all the instruments except the guitar, which I played and that's me singing. Larry and I performed together on the Bowling Balls From Hell compilation LP in Akron Ohio in 1980 (Clone Records label, I read recently that this vinyl LP is becoming a much-sought-after cult classic. It also has songs by the Waitresses (a song used in the film The Breakfast Club), Chi-Pig, and other Akron artists). Now he lives in CT and asked me to send him a CD of me just playing guitar and singing a song I had written and he'd do the rest. He's very talented, as you can hear, and so I have posted it for your exploration. ********

I was born in Akron, Ohio, and now live in Brandon, Florida. At 21, I wrote and performed a song on the Akron compilaton album, Bowling Balls From Hell (Clone 1980). My song, "Ride, Rider," was picked by Billboard Magazine as a best cut. Spurred onward by this success, I went to California (1981-93), and ended up in San Francisco, where I stayed for five years (1988-93). There, I was the Emcee/Soundman for a weekly open mic at the "Mad Dog in the Fog" at Haight and Fillmore (1991-93). I also helped put on several gigantic raves with the legendary Paul Renna at various venues in SF (1991-93). In addition, I have signed several songs over to publishers over the years. "Hard Nose" was included in an Indie Film by Red Duck Pictures called Imperfections (redduckpictures.com, 2006).
My CD, Edith's Mystery, was completed and released in 2007.
"PRECIOUS ONE," from this CD, was just selected to be included on the latest MUSIC FOR TROOPS CD, and "Earl" just made it onto HOT LAP DANCES, a CD to benefit stray cats and dogs. Also, 11 of my songs have been picked up by Noteborne Music Publishing, in a non-exclusive agreement.

R-zac concerne le voyage ; un voyage sans cesse remanié au cœur des sons et des rythmes. Les percussions tribales, répétitives et omniprésentes constituent la base hypnotique autour de laquelle évoluent des spirales sonores tridimensionnelles complexes modifiant la perception du paysage qui nous entoure au fur et à mesure que le voyage progresse.
