KATE EVANS - Singer/Songwriter

Saturday, December 29, 2007 @ 7pm $10 Cover

Kateevans_2 If a child of Billie Holiday and Randy Newman were raised by Ani DiFranco and schooled by Mahalia Jackson, she might grow up to sound something like Kate Evans.  Provocative, cerebral, gorgeous, her music goes straight to the heart.

After performing and recording for over 10 years with a wide variety of bands and artists from jazz giant Benny Carter to quirky rockers Ween, Kate recorded her first solo album.  "Release."  Maureen Keller of indie-music.com described the album by saying, "The lyrics are inspiring, the voice is one-of-a-kind, and the overall sound is as beautiful as music gets.  It is evident that Evans loves music as she pours her heart into these inspiring songs."
