In the three years since he finished school, John Brazile has performed 423 shows, driven over 98,000 miles, and written a few hundred songs.
Now, with a brand new upcoming release, “Near Me”, John hopes to bring his music to larger audiences and log even more miles on the road.
John, at age 25, divides his time between writing at home in Worcester, MA and touring other parts of the country. He spent the past year performing in New England hotspots like Newport and Boston, as well as Baltimore, Nashville, Memphis and Los Angeles. His song, "Wheels of Progress" was featured on Boston station 92.5 The River's Homegrown Showcase. And this summer, John was voted “Best Singer Songwriter” in the Worcester Magazine Turtleboy Awards.
In January 2010, “Near Me” will be released on John’s own label, Main South Productions. In addition, John will be using the company as an outlet for screenwriting and song-pitching projects. Tour information will accompany the release of the album, so stay tuned.

Michelle McClave, The Manhattan College Quadrangle
“Going at full force, Brazile requires your complete attention to fully appreciate every chord, every note, every word.”
Adam Shepherd, Newport This Week

We just got our music on iTunes and Amazon a few days ago. Just type in Evro, iTunes is selling the Album (12 Tracks) for $9.99. If you go on Amazon you can get our full album for $8.99. I think that's the cheapest online store I know of. If you want you can download a song for $0.99 cents per song at either site.
Peace Out and Much Love!
