"Until the Job Is Done" by WNC Musicians for Change

Until the Job Is Done

WNC Musicians raise money for black Lives matter

I am proud and honored to be a part of this compilation of songs for the "Until the Job Is Done" along with other amazing artists participating with WNC Musicians For Change. When I saw the idea to do this compilation to raise money for Black Lives Matter, I knew I wanted to be a part of it. I had written a general protest song mid-last year while feeling very overwhelmed by everything terrible happening in the world and our country. Little did I know then what all else was coming "down the pipe" this year. It is called 'The Last Rose' because the feeling I had was that love was dying, and I wanted to write a song about good people rising up and fighting to get it back. I reference political division, religious evangelicalism/extremism, gun violence, hate, racism, systematic racism, inequality, police brutality, war, caged asylum seekers, and the environment. Of course I didn't hit all of the subjects of hate or disrespect, but I tried to hit what was on my mind at the time. But most of all the song is about hope and fighting for what is right, and I am so happy that this record will be doing some good for Black Lives Matter. Let's end racism together!

5th Year Anniversary of Our Debut Album!

Something to bleed

Today, June 5th, marks the 5th anniversary of our release "Something to Bleed". The True Grits, Brian Shoemaker - bass/lead guitar, Sam Hess - drums, Woodstock - mandolin, and I put this together on an 8-track digital recorder we call "The Precious" back in 2015. In addition, Halli Anderson of River Whyless played violin and sang harmonies, my brother Scot Evans of Floating Men played bass on '1000 Roses', and my mom Barbara Evans sang harmonies on 'Sound'. To cap it off, my childhood friend, Tom Carlton, painted the cover. It's a special record not only because it is our first, but because it was put together with the help of friends and family. With Kickstarter, my friends showed up and helped me realize my dream. And I am, we are, forever grateful. Head to the audio page to check it out!
