Despite his calm demeanor, Tom Evanchuck is raging with his graphical, narrative songwriting and his rugged guitar rhythms, leaving any room buzzing with admiration for this twenty-year-old from Chardon, Ohio. With a catalogue of more than thirty original songs, Evanchuck’s first full-length debut raises the question of how a young man can create a story that sounds so calloused and so old. This talent caught the attention of Ohio music legends Alex Bevan, Jim Snively, John Mosey and Charley Brown as well as national acts Paleface, Kaiser Cartel and Justin Townes Earle; venues such as Wilbert’s and The Agora in downtown Cleveland, The Barking Spider Tavern in University Circle, The Rathskellar at Kent State University and the renowned Kent Stage. Since returning to the snow-belt from busking the streets of Washington D.C., Evanchuck has continued to play at a variety of venues across Ohio, while making his at-large festival debut at the Bandango Music Festival in Amherst, Ohio and breaking ground in Rochester, New York. Tom Evanchuck is currently receiving air-play from Kent State University's Black Squirrel Radio at blacksquirrelradio.com, John Carrol's WJCU 88.7FM (www.wjcu.org), WKSU 89.7FM Folk Alley (www.folkalley.org), Cleveland State's WCSB 89.3FM (www.wcsb.org) as well as Akron's WAPS 91.3 The Summit (www.913thesummit.com). Full of angst, ambition and exciting raw ability, Tom Evanchuck possess a combination of talent and grit that captures the attention of all audiences in all places. With tour dates mounting and an album waiting to explode out of his home state, this refreshing talent of past and present folk music will soon be on display all over the Midwest.
"Evanchuck does something that many young songwriters can not – he puts alternating tempos, graphic, narrative lyrics and several different playing styles on an assembly line and interchanges the parts at will without sacrificing the quality one piece for the other."

"Tom is young, but you wouldn't know otherwise from his performance. He has this Dylan, Dan Bern, quality about him. Unassuming and barefoot, he laid out songs of a maturity and style that's rare for his age. He's definitely one of the best local musicians I've seen perform."
- Roger Zender, OnlyMusicLeft.blogspot.com
"While Evanchuck's up-tempo finger-picking style immediately brings to mind the Appalachian roots music that has become engrained in our cultural DNA, his youthful appearance (and US Marine Corps t-shirt) felt strangely incongruous with the tales of dirt roads and having Bob Dylan's "worried blues."Nonetheless, if his style recalls the past, his voice - a cross between electro-crooner David Gray and local roots sensation Alan Whitney - sounds startlingly contemporary. With it, he maintained a crystalline, almost unbelievable level of clarity the entire night. "

I was in Ohio over the weekend and I stumbled upon your E.A.T.E.N. CD in that Ingrid Michaelson case that you gave me a couple years ago and I decided it's been way too long. If you play at all over Thanksgiving weekend I'm coming out, otherwise we need to hang.
