"Never one to shy away from changing style and direction, Evans has taken a musical scalpel to everything from honky-tonk to punky rockabilly to preppy Old 97's pop-rock, each time with class and muscle." - William Michael Smith - Houston Press - 07/23/08
John Evans can write a song...and make it sound like no other. His cleverly written tunes and unique delivery have been a mainstay in the Texas Music scene for over ten years. He has co-written songs with Hayes Carll, Adam Carroll and Roger Creager, to name a few. His latest collaboration with Creager (I'm From The Beer Joint), was the number 1 song of 2008 with over 27,000 spins, according to The Texas Music Chart. This singer/songwriter has been an award winner for eight consecutive years in the Houston Press Music Awards; taking home accolades that include: Best Male Vocalist, Musician Of The Year, Best Singer/Songwriter, Best Roots Rock and Best Country and Western.
His music video for "Quicksand", from the album "Circling The Drain," won a Platinum Remi award at the 2005 WorldFest International Film Festival and another album track, "Swat'n Flies," appears on the soundtrack for popular indie film "Drop Dead Sexy," starring Jason Lee and Crispin Glover, which debuted at SxSW Film Festival and was released internationally in 2007.
The John Evans Band spent most of 2006 touring the U.S. in support of "Ramblin' Boy." John Evans won Best Male Vocalist at the 2007 Texas Music Awards and continues to be a favorite of many publications with features included in the Houston Press, No Depression, Texas Music Magazine, Houston Magazine and more.
Currently, John is releasing his new album, "Lollygaggin" with Smith Entertainment Records, scheduled to drop October 13th, 2009. The first single "My Name In Chalk" has been shipped to radio. Look for John and the band in a market near you!
