Evan Dean Band

ROCK BLUES SOUL

Imagine a hot summer night, the air thick and swampy… the gritty sound of crickets like guitars jangling through the starry sky. As you walk through the treeline toward a barn, you can hear me tickling your ears. My voice is raspy, then clear with a bright shine on it. I sing to you softly, whispering in your ear… and then I step back and holler like an old bluesman. The band is thumping a groove that grabs your feet and soon you’ve forgotten about everything else…. Now you’re one of us and we’re all sweatin and stompin, and singin to the stars.

 

This is why I make music. It pulls people together. It melts away the sullen drag. And when I heard Muddy Waters at age 13 with all that quintessentially American Blues southern flavor, I knew I had to do that. So that’s what I create: blues, rock, soul. Croon and holler over raging guitars, and a thick groovy backbeat.

I’m really proud of this new lineup with Jim Kurasch on Bass & Vocals, and Tim College on Drums & Vocals. These guys are the grooviest, funkiest cats I’ve ever hung with! Together we’ve re-arranged some of the originals from 2022 & 2023 and will release a 7 song EP very soon. Keep your eyes on our streaming media to listen to the singles as soon as they’re released!

Someday when we have more time, I’ll tell you how I got here. But for now, let’s just enjoy this time together… and make some raucous noise! ~ Evan
