Over the past few years, Evan and his band The Royal High have been performing in and around the New York City area spreadind their eclectic mix of classic American roots based music combined with a modern rock edge. This rings true in Evan's raspy vocal delivery, which has been described by some as a" Tome Jones, Tom Waites sandwich" Evan compiments his gritty vocal styling with percussive, rhythm based acoustic guitar playing.
As far as the band goes, The Royal High exemplifies solid American roots-rock music. This is well represented throughout the album by lead guitar player Jon Shriver. From classic bluesy, Stones influenced licks, to good old fashioned classic rock shredding, this son of a gun ain't screwing around. The bands newest memnber, who also
engineered and co-produced the albumis multi-talented musician Bryan Smith. Ranging from classic Hammond organ, to space-age modern synth, Bryan adds a fresh dynamic to the band. Drummer Mat Zebroski, who plays drums on the album, holds down the fort with his unique jazz/rock percussive sway. Performing with the band most recently is hard hitting rock & roll drummer Dave Vincola. Bass duties on the album are credited to New Zealand native, Julliard graduate, Mat Fieldes. Pro bass player Glen Nataupsky, has been joining the band for most recent live performances.
