About Me

Established in CT in mid 2001, the band set out playing venues throughout New England in support of their debut acoustic album Searchlight. During this time they fine-tuned their sound while building a devoted fan base along the way.

Following the initial buzz, the band relocated to NYC to expand its playing area in conjunction with the release of their follow-up electrified release, aptly named Amplify, in 2002. Gigging regularly up and down the east coast the band continued to increase and strengthen their ever-growing fan base.

evenstar recently dropped their latest EP, bad luck yesterday, in late 2003. This effort is, thus far, the epitome of their signature mix of melodic songwriting and powerful harmonies. The ear-catching songs will reel you in and leave you begging for more. Combined with the band’s high-energy live performances, evenstar continues to win over fans everywhere, everyday.
