It was a such a fun show that started off with a downpour of rain which then cleared up nicely for the amazing, energized sold out crowd. The recording and performance aren't perfect by any means. There are no overdubs or studio magic to cover up mistakes or pitch problems, etc., but just some beautiful True Gritsiness!

Thank you to the wonderfully talented Kate Bryant for joining us on fiddle, to Gordon Wilson for the recording and photo, and a huge thank you to the glorious fans that attended the show! Much love and please enjoy!

"There are two main moods to Something to Bleed, the new 10-track album by local musician Stephen Evans — the energetic folk-rock found on lead offering “The Ghost” and the more wistful, lilting melodies of songs like “1000 Roses.” Evans’ tenor is emotive and more concerned with ache and character than with polish.

After years of putting his music career on hold, Stephen Evans has finally released his debut CD, "Something to Bleed". This record is a sweet blend of dark, brooding rock and fun, uplifting grooves. With solid vocal melodies and delicious dancing counter melodies, one will find themselves humming these tunes long after the music has stopped playing. The lyrics are creative and pull you into dark, romantic scenarios then send you spiraling upward with hope.
