About Me

I have been playing music all of my life. For the past 20 years I have been playing guitar and working on my engineering/producing chops. I graduated from Berklee College of Music in 1993 with a degree in music production and engineering.

In 1999 I joined the Celtic rock band Tempest and spent the next three years playing lead guitar for them all around the U.S.

In 2002 I recorded my first solo project, 'Lines On The Wall'. The CD is self produced and I am not signed to any label. If you like what you hear, the CD is available at www.toddevans.net.

Below is a YouTube player which contains videos of me performing my original songs solo on acoustic guitar. I will add more as they become available (in other words - when I make em). For now you can watch "Skippin'", "Holy War?", "Celebration Song" and "Rat Race" ENJOY!!!

NOTE: The Karflukumentary is still available for viewing at MY WEBSITE

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 08/12/2005
Band Website: toddevans.net
Band Members: My 2002 CD "Lines On The Wall" is available through CDBaby! The second pressing of "Lines On The Wall" has been remastered and now includes a bonus track preview of my next CD. GET YOURS TODAY BY CLICKING BELOW

Influences: Early on I was influenced mainly by 80's metal guitar players - George Lynch, Jake E. Lee, Matthias Jabs, Michael Schenker (get the picture?). Then I spent a while absorbing 70's classic rock. Throw in a healthy dose of jazz from Berklee College of music and you've got me.

These days when I think of influences it is mainly from a lyrical perspective and those are mainly Dave Matthews and Alanis Morrissette because I love the way they express themselves.
Sounds Like: Sometimes like Bare Naked Ladies, sometimes like Iron Maiden. Depends how pissed off I am.
Record Label: my own
