Artist Bio:
Easy Evans has undoubtedly inherited the soul, and prowess of his musical influences ranging from James Ingram to Al Green. “I was 4 years old listening to Al Green’s music singing along to “Love and Happiness.” Evans’ story starts many years ago just like many soul singers that preceded him, in the church. “My grandmother used to sing gospel music around town with her band. I played the tambourine.” Evans’ musical gifts do not start and end with just his melodic soothing vocal ability, but his talent at playing the drums as well as the piano by ear makes him a soulful threat. “My range, the instrumentation in my music and [the fact that] I write my own songs makes me different from anyone out right now.” Evans allowed his love of music to take a back seat for a while as he focused on education. After attending several different colleges in the Illinois area, Evans graduated from Illinois State University with a degree in Information Technology. Now ready to see his dream come to fruition, Evans has taken the initial steps to make it all happen. His debut EP aptly called At Ease is scheduled for a tentative release of September 16, 2010. “So many people are stressed out from changes in life, I drew my concept for the title around that.” And with a moniker like Easy Evans you can already get a sense of what’s to come musically, an old school sound with a modern feel that’s meant to leave the listener in a state of relaxation.
