---------------------------------------------------------------------
As the house band for the world-renowned ‘Mike Williams Pickin’ Party’ in Nashville, TN, The Evertones served as backing band for John Ford Coley, Laurie McClain, Michael Petersen and 400 or so of the world’s greatest singer/songwriters over the course of 11 years.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They did this with no rehearsal and no charts.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then, in 1998, something happened: singer/songwriter CJ Watson was featured at the pickin’ party. A lifelong student of guitar improvisation himself, Watson was invited, first to sit in, then to join the band.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It wasn’t long before he found out that Evertones bandleader Jeff Gilkinson had, as a songwriter and recording artist, a resume bigger than many of the people they were backing up. Watson asked him: “Why don’t you do your own gigs?” Gilkinson responded: “I’ve always been a member of a band.”-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“But we HAVE a band”--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Well, I don’t mind singing some, but I won’t be the front man.”--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---“I will.”---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Well, ok, then.”------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----The Evertones have been a Nashville staple ever since, playing famous venues like the Wildhorse Saloon, Bluebird Café and Hobo Joe’s and house gigs at the French Quarter, Cocktails and the legendary Broken Spoke. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------The Evertones can play full concerts of original Blues, Americana, Country, Bluegrass (or any combination thereof) and can jam with anyone else on the bill and not miss a beat.

Please submit your artist news and events to CountryHome Forum to help your artists to get well known better in Europe. If you do not have the time to submit your artist news and events by yourself, please send it me to: Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de and I will submit them by myself to CountryHome Forum.
I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.
I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.
Thanks
