"Loose Yourself...."

"Defying all stereotypes, the members of the Kelly Evans Trio call their music Gypsy Soul, an apt label that could also describe the common thread that has drawn these three distinctive personalities together. It´s logical.. in their technique and presentation. Chris and Chase lay down a slew of rhythmic and percussive undercurrents (from bongos to bass lines to bottles) and Kelly bobs and floats, an apparition, delivering the cosmos with chords that run tag between Zap Mama and Stevie Nicks. The effect is captivatingly other. While the rhythm section recalls waves gently slapping a shore, the moody, syncopated vocals are night breeze on skin.

This is music as transportation. Atypically, no one member lends a prescribed ephemeral quality to the group. They´re all doing it. Kelly swears that´s because they command authenticity from one another. Personally, I think it also has a lot to do with Kelly´s steadfast understanding of emotional geography."

Bio

"Less is more"-
Kelly Evans is a Jupitarian, native Floridian.
Currently out of Cincinnati.
Finger dancing on a servanti signature series classical, studying Afro-Latin-Synchronized modes scales, rythmes, with a driving curiousity and concern for the human condition. An artist with a long standing passion for the ethnic world root connection, and a natural feel for the ethereal jazz realm.
"When I create it is like a meditation, loosing all expectations and directing this emotion into something meaningful and free. Going through the motions"
At the age of nine " I started snooping around my papa's Gibson, playing literally in my parent's closet when they weren't home, I was so scared to get caught."
Georgia Davis, was and is the reason Evans plays and writes. She was a living lounge jazz guitar Diva back in the fourties and fifties as well as Kelly's Auntie.
"She never got the respect she rightfully deserved-"
As of today you can find Kelly Evans on local and regional stages, generating that underground buzzzzz. Sometimes with sometimes without the TRIO.
I guess your just going to have to come see for yourself. - " I like to dig in the dirt and discover what it's all about " -
Just like she does everyday.
