Create Evolve

About Me

Create Evolve is a Jamming, Progressive, Rock band from Waterford/ Pontiac Michigan. We have been together for a little over one year. Our band consists of three guitarists, bass guitar, and drums. We enjoy most styles of music and try not to limit ourselves to just one genre. However, we are partial to improvising for extended periods of time, leading our fan base to label us in the broad category of a "Jam Band." Our original compositions tend to be more Progressive Rock based. Create Evolve has been playing steady shows around the Metro Detroit area since it was formed, including the Waterford Cultural Councils Art in The Park battle of the bands (which Create Evolve won first place), The 2nd Annual Bar Street Journal Awards, and many other bars and venues in Metro Detroit.

Sounds Like: Like pure energy being strained into a glass bottle of curiously colored mater that crumbles into a thousand pieces when you attempt to look directly at it but will light the heavens if left free to expand as its own entity, separate from all existence. But come to our shows and make up your own mind.Pictures by Thomas J RowlandI edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
