Jeffery Armstreet and Jonathan Barrick met in the summer of 2005 and soon developed a close friendship around their love for songwriting, story-telling and the beauty of melancholy. Their first collaboration, Evangeline, set the stylistic tone for their new partnership. Their deep emotional connection with the audience creates a uniqueness in their approach to songwriting as well as their performances.
In 2006 they formed their band aptly named Evangeline. The driving force behind their music is the desire to communicate the depths of life’s struggles and challenges in relationships, pain, death, life and faith. With influences ranging from Pedro the Lion to Johnny Cash and Counting Crows to Otis Redding, Jonathan’s sincere vocals combined with the lyrical honesty of the music’s delivery set Evangeline apart with an artistic focus and authenticity.
“I think they’re great! Well crafted songs, beautiful voice. Familiar but still original. Jonathan’s voice reminds me a bit of Ben Harper. They’re perfect for the kind of music that’s being popularized by Grey’s Anatomy, etc. ….like The Fray.”
~ MATT STERNBERG
In an industry that constantly begs for comparisons, Evangeline has made a debut album that will stand out from the crowd purely on the basis of intelligent, memorable songs coupled with great vocals. The album was ably produced by Robbie Seay who is an artist on EMI CMG. Jeffery and Jonathan have crafted some fine songs that are radio friendly and defy format. The album was recorded in Houston and defines the 21st century "southern rock" sound. Evangeline's music is a natural to be used in many tv shows, films, and commercials. The release date for "We're Alright Down Here" is forthcoming.
~ EDDIE LAMBERT, President of Rilex Entertainment
"What is so totally unique about Evangeline is how their root, eclectic, deep seeded lyrical music could be so commercial".
~ HARVEY COOPER, President of Coopermarket
“I’m drawn to this music because it moves me. This collection of songs is full of life and struggle and these guys are connecting with an audience on a deeper level than just melody and lyric. I’m proud to have spent time wrestling with these songs alongside this band and playing a small role in putting them together in album form, it’s a fantastic record!!”
