"With likeness to Damien Rice, Chris Martin of Coldplay and John Mayer, his approach, while folk-driven, sometimes touches on the border of jazz, enriched by shuffley drums, dreamy piano lines and warm, strumming guitar swimming in major-7 chords. Evan reminds us that there is a real difference between good music and great music; whatever that difference may be, however tangible or elusive, you’ll find it in his album, From the Second Chair."
-CD Baby"Atlantan McHugh's 'From the Second Chair' is a little marvel. If any major label A&R department heard this and passed, they should be flogged. The songs are smart and memorable. The musicianship and arrangements couldn't be more luscious if they were drenched in butter, recalling the best moments of David Gray and Damien Rice. But it's McHugh's swoon-worthy voice that steals the show."
