REVIEWS
5 out of 5 Stars!
"With likeness to Damien Rice, Chris Martin of Coldplay and John Mayer, his approach, while folk-driven, sometimes touches on the border of jazz, enriched by shuffley drums, dreamy piano lines and warm, strumming guitar swimming in major-7 chords. Evan reminds us that there is a real difference between good music and great music; whatever that difference may be, however tangible or elusive, you’ll find it in his album, From the Second Chair."
-CD Baby
"Atlantan McHugh's 'From the Second Chair' is a little marvel. If any major label A&R department heard this and passed, they should be flogged. The songs are smart and memorable. The musicianship and arrangements couldn't be more luscious if they were drenched in butter, recalling the best moments of David Gray and Damien Rice. But it's McHugh's swoon-worthy voice that steals the show."
-Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"Atlanta's Evan McHugh takes the best parts from artists such as Jump, Little Children, Amos Lee and Jason Mraz and rolls them into his own distinct sound. His impressive debut, From the Second Chair, is filled with sensitive, jazz-tinged folk pop that will have you humming breezily through the day"
-Performing Songwriter Magazine, Dec '07
well, it has been a long and winding road, and an even longer time coming, but my debut CD, I Remember, is FINALLY HERE!!! YAY!!!!!
to celebrate, American HeartBeat Records(tm) has arranged a FREE DOWNLOAD of Now Is The Time in exchange for a valid email address. Now Is The Time is a brand new, upbeat song I wrote: we are living in turbulent times. suddenly it is okay to be greedy and heartless? no way! a song of hope for our future, a new vision of America and the world.
we have a bunch of exciting things planned to kick this whole thing off, and we need to get a better picture of who our friends are, so the FREE DOWNLOAD form will ask you a few questions, like, what is your country and nearest major city. it all takes maybe 15 seconds.
anyhoo, the FREE DOWNLOAD, and the FUN, begins at www.JAETCHISON.com
I look forward to getting to know you a little better, and I thank you SO VERY MUCH for your friendship and support!
please tell your friends about JAETCHISON.com, and ask them to sign up for the email list, too! FUN things are coming up!!
I do owe you a show. It's true! I can't promise you I'll be there. I'm in a really rough situation right now. I don't even know where I'll be tomorrow let alone on Saturday. BUT I REALLY want to go. PROMISE! I'll try my best.
hey broddah! man, i haven't heard your music in so long i ALMOST forgot how good it is... so much, i'm going to put you on my top so everyone randomly browsing my page could take a gander at your music...haha!
miss all the live FREE shows in the alpheee...haha! take it easy broddah, and if you are wondering where i have been, i am currently on the left coast, but hopefully later i'll be back where i belong...the RIGHT COAST!
Yes! I would read it! I didn't even know you still used your website. Hahaha. We never run into each other or talk anymore so I would like to at least be able to read about what's going on with your music career. I see your sister all the time. She sometimes fills me in. As far as your upcoming show, I can't promise that I'll be there. I would love to, but I'm extremely busy these days. I will try!
New David Mead song is called Last Train Home. Looks like someone is a copy cat. At least it's Mr. Mead. Of course it doesn't sound anything like yours. I love the video and will promote it on mah space. I hope all is well with you.
Well, that would be a good reason. Did you happen to meet Bono or Dave? That is pretty crazy. Who knew you'd be in the same room with those guys!?! As for Barry, he's very much alive... As am I.
Lots of things are happening right now…IntoMusic just named “Emma’s Song” as the #1 Singer/songwriter download in the UK! And Myxer Ringtones just reported over 7,200 downloads of “Ballad of Billy the Kid”…in ONE DAY! So stay close for all the news. These are exciting times!
Thanks again for the add! Hope to hear from you soon and often!
Skip out on Harrison Hudson. Check out Jeremy Ezell on Saturday in the Atlanta Room. Doooo it. Or I'll kill Barry Manilow. Just kidding. I hate myself for saying that.
We better see you at Smith's Olde Bar this Saturday. We go on at 9.30 sharp! If you're gonna come we suggest you pre-order tickets because it will most likely sell out.
love
