TEXAS ALTERNATIVE

About Me

The John Evans Band has been a mainstay in the Texas music scene for years with a list of influences that span the genre map. Anyone who follows Texas music has most likely been exposed to Evans' unique sound, often referred to as "Buddy Holly fronting AC/DC."
John Evans has been one of the top musicians at the Houston Press Awards for the past six consecutive years bringing home awards for Best Musician, Best Songwriter, Best Male Vocalist and Musician of the Year. The music video for "Quicksand", from the album "Circling The Drain," won a Platinum Remi award at the 2005 WorldFest International Film Festival and another album track, "Slither," appears on the soundtrack for popular indie film "Drop Dead Sexy," starring Jason Lee and Crispin Glover, which debuted at SxSW Film Festival and was released internationally in 2007.
The John Evans Band spent most of 2006 touring the U.S. in support of "Ramblin' Boy." John Evans won Best Male Vocalist at the 2007 Texas Music Awards and continues to be a favorite of many publications with features included in the Houston Press, No Depression, Texas Music Magazine, Houston Magazine and more.
Currently, John has also released a solo acoustic album "Side Show" available in the near future!
