What others are saying...
"In my world there have always been two great songwriters -- Kris Kristofferson and Billy Joe Shaver. In July of last year, I heard yet another great songwriter who can hold his own with those two. He is Mark Evans and he is truly a gifted songsmith."

Mark's is the best true country music I've heard since I moved to Nashville in 1993. It's not a put-on; it's the real deal.

mark evans - Join us in congratulating record producer Kim Copeland for her work on the Rachel Williams album, Lonely At The Bottom. Check this great review by R.K. Oermann with Music Row Magazine on Rachel's current single, The Only Thing Harder Than Leaving.
"She has the goods. This creeps up on you with cat’s paws. The languid pace, echoing instruments, spacious production and her hushed, aching delivery are all immensely seductive. The lyric of leaving home is full of terrific details. And her falsetto leaps in the bridge are like little daggers to the heart. A mini masterpiece. This, by the way, is the third single in a row that I have raved about from this performer. "

My new single 'Come North' is out now on Leftarm Records, and is taken from the album 'Book of Days' produced by Fran Ashcroft (Gorillaz/Dandy Warhols). Check it out!
Thank you for taking a listen to my music. Glad you liked what you heard!
