...Evan and Eric have had way too much caffeine! Seriously, though Smallfish's sound is kind of a blend of Billy Joel, Dave Matthews, Ben Folds, and Sesame Street with a little Eric Clapton thrown in for good measure. It's kazoo rock at it's finest!!
Smallfish is a kazoo rock band with a serious fishing problem. Evan and Eric (both equal parts lead singer and backup band) share their view of the world through music.
When Evan was a wee lad, living on Tampa Bay, he liked to fish...a lot. Later, while attending Rollins College in Orlando, Florida he had a professor ask him if he would rather be a small fish in a big pond or a big fish in a small pond. After pondering the fish/pond question for a bit, Evan replied, "I'd rather be a small fish in a big pond because then I'd always have room to grow." Some years later while in the real world he read this book about a guy who fed 5,000 people with a couple of loaves and a few small fish. The fish weren't a big part of the story, but they fed people because they were blessed by God. Evan, seeing an opportunity to find new spots to fish, grow and share the blessings he had received from God, started Smallfish in 1999. Since then he and Eric have played in churches, living rooms, beaches, dorms, domes, hotels, boats and backyards across the world for crowds of 3 to crowds of 45,000. Smallfish isn't a big part of the story, but Evan and Eric still hit the road as often as possible to feed people and to be fed.
