TREVOR HALL

TREVOR HALL – mit neuem Album „The Fruitful Darkness“ für 3 Konzerte in Deutschland Bereits in jungen Jahren realisierte Singer-Songwriter TREVOR HALL, dass Musik für ihn mehr als nur eine bloße Leidenschaft war. Musik sei vielmehr die Kunst des Lebens. An der Kunstakademie in Kalifornien studierte er klassische Gitarre und kam das erste Mal mit Yoga und Meditation in Berührung. Beides sollte einen großen Einfluss auf sein Leben und seine Musik haben. Mittlerweile kann TREVOR HALL auf eine ganze Reihe von Kollaborationen mit Künstlern, wie unter anderem Steel Pulse, The Wailers, Jimmy Cliff, Xavier Rudd sowie Nahko & Medicine for the People, zurückblicken.

Halls aktuelles Album „The Fruitful Darkness“, eine Deluxe Edition mit 15 Songs, erschien am 01. Juni 2018 und ist seine erste Veröffentlichung ohne Plattenfirma. „Dieses Album vermittelt die tiefe Verletzlichkeit des Reisens durch das Unbekannte, anstatt keine unnötigen Risiken einzugehen.“, reflektiert Hall. Die Bereitschaft unkonventionelle Wege einzuschlagen und dabei Risiken einzugehen zeigt sich auch in der Art und Weise, wie das Album veröffentlicht wurde. Sei es nun die Finanzierung über eine Kickstarter Musikkampagne oder die Veröffentlichung von 3 Songs vierteljährlich zu bestimmten Mondphasen, bevor das komplette Album erschien.

WILL EVANS

Will Evans has spent the last decade as the primary songwriter, drummer, and front man for the roots rock outfit Barefoot Truth. Will recorded four full length albums and several EP’s of his original music with the band. Their most recent release, “Carry Us On”, debuted at #10 on the iTunes Rock Chart, and as of 2018, the band has surpassed over 20 million plays on Spotify. With Barefoot Truth on an extended hiatus, Will has opened a new chapter in his musical journey.

His first solo release “Wishin’ Well” landed him in Entertainment Weekly as being right on target in the “Bullseye of The Week” and warranted a #4 spot on the Northeast Billboards. Will’s entry into Guitar Center’s “Next Great American Songwriter” contest brought him national attention. Out of over 10,000 entrants, he was chosen as one of the nation’s top ten finalists. In 2017, in the “Next2Rock” contest, once again he placed in the top 5 nationally out of tens of thousands.

In October of 2015, while on a national tour supporting to Trevor Hall, Will released his sophomore album, “Signal Flares”. With topics such as the album’s opener “Do It For The Love”, and “To Be Human”, the singer-songwriter is once again speaking from his heart, advocating his own socially-conscious messages of love and inclusion.

In his live performances, Will uses his impressive looping skills to combine his drumming background with his highly energized and entertaining acoustic style. When Will is on stage, the crowds always get to their feet and he always gets to their hearts. Will has shared the stage with many top artists including Crosby and Nash, Grace Potter, Bruce Hornsby, Rusted Root, Trevor Hall, Donavon Frankenreiter, Railroad Earth and members of Dispatch.

You can catch Will on the road this summer as a touring band member for good friend and acclaimed artist Trevor Hall, as well as various solo and headline dates as Will Evans & Rising Tide.
