About Us:
Brian Evans dreams of hearing his
music on the radio; as an up and
coming country music talent, this is
to be expected. Oddly enough though,
when he was only six, his only dream
was to run a radio station.
“I used a Singalodeon karaoke machine
to record shows onto cassette tapes. I
arranged CD's by song tempo, wrote up
transitions based on the lyrics and
just started recording,” Brian
recalls. “M
y parents and the neighbors complained
a lot about the noise.”
Growing up in Deer Park, Texas, a town
20 miles south of Houston, Brian was
exposed to a heavy dose of country
music. Whether it was his grandfather
pickin’ the guitar on Saturday
mornings or his brother playing George
Strait to coerce him to sleep at
night, Brian came to appreciate the
art of country music.
This love of country music didn’t fade
and Brian entertained the idea of
performing country songs as he sang in
a number of grade school choral
productions. He finally got his chance
at a solo in the eighth grade; his
rendition of “To Make You Feel My
Love,” which was inspired by Garth
Brooks' version of the song featured
in the movie “Hope Floats,” sealed his
musical fate.
“No one had heard me sing country
music before and all eyes were on me.
They were sitting there in
anticipation and I was standing there
ready to let my voice be heard,” Brian
remembers. “When the crowd erupted at
the end of the song, I knew at that
moment that I wanted to be Brian Evans
the Country Music entertainer, not
Brian Evans the baseball player,
football player or basketball
player.”
Brian upped the ante at 19 when he
competed on the locally televised
talent show “Gimme The Mike, Houston.”
The benefit of the experience, plus
two congratulatory calls from his
boyhood idol Clay Walker, fueled
Brian’s desire to pursue music
full-time. He had gained a wealth of
performance knowledge and decided it
was time for him to load up his
pick-up and chase his dreams all the
way to Nashville.
While in Nashville, Brian formed great
friendships and really took the time
to become a student of “the business”
learning from a select group of
knowledgeable and well-respected
individuals. The most notable: Jim
Catino of Sony Music Nashville.
“Jim mentored me during my time in
Nashville,” said Brian. “I was
extremely 'green' and he helped by
providing insight about the
ins-and-outs of the industry. The best
advice he ever gave me was to find
myself, figure out who I want to be,
expose that niche, and the rest will
take care of itself. I remind myself
of that every day.”
Brian eventually was led to a
crossroads where he had to make a very
important life decision. In the fall
of 2006, after intense consideration,
he headed back to Texas to finish his
business degree at Texas State
University, temporarily putting his
budding music career on hold.
Now, in 2012, Brian has found his way
to newly formed A-Blake Records which
has signed him to a development deal.
“You know, it’s quite cliché to say
this, but it amazes me how things
really do tend to work themselves
out,” says Brian. “I have a new
partnership with A-Blake Records and I
have spent valuable time writing and
searching for the right material to
perform. My wish is that there is at
least one song during my show that
resonates with every walk of life.”
With songs ranging in tempo from
heartfelt to boot-scootin', those
bases are covered. "Smalltown America"
tells of the longing for a simpler way
of life. “Hard To Be Good" is a
toe-tapper of a tune that dances
around the cat and mouse games played
on the dating scene yet "The Real
Thing" is a floating on cloud-nine
song perfect for those who have
finally found the right one. A clever
play on words, “Real Survivor" shows a
good ole Southern boy poking fun at
the TV show "Survivor" and
"Everything's Coming Up Peaches" is a
fun, friendly song about living the
good life.
