Evan Blackerby has something to say. He’s been relentless in working to cultivating his own musical voice and sound - a sound that can only be described as alt-bluesy Americana, folkish-rock-esque singer-songwriter. With the passage of time, he’s found confidence and has become more comfortable in his unpolished honesty and ability to craft a song worth listening to. Evan’s first concert was Paul McCartney on his ninth birthday. He leans on influences from cassette tapes of Otis Redding and CDs of Stevie Ray Vaughan to downloads of The Avett Brothers and vinyls of The Beatles. His voice and songs are described as if Ray LaMontagne and Jack Johnson could have a child. He began crafting songs as his own unintentional version of self-care therapy in a particular seventh-grade literature and creative writing class. That year, he found an old Yamaha three-fourth size guitar (that he named Junior) at his grandparents’ house and began learning a few chords. He has, over the years, developed a sound that is uniquely him, while his goals to bring people together have never changed.
