Bio
Mark Evans Band
The new single "The Beautician" is now available on iTunes, and streaming on Spotify.
Yes, Covid-19 made it nearly impossible to play live in 2020. But the band had already started to record just before the shutdown, and had rhythm tracks for a few new tunes already in the can.
While overdubbing and mixing has has had it's unique challenges, they plan to release a new single each month until venues open up again.
2020 was off to a great start with the boys playing sold out February shows opening for Micky Dolenz of the Monkees, and set to play Liverpool’s world famous Cavern Club in May as part IPO 2020). Then Covid hit, and everything shut down. Gone was the return engagement at Chaplin's in Spring City, the Eagleview Concert Series, and all the other gigs they had brewing...
Backed by a rhythm section of Philly stalwarts, Roy Fisher (bass), Jeff Pancoast (drums), and Grammy winner Pat Robinson (keyboards), the band is looking forward to the day that music halls will once again come to life with the sound of live music.
With all that has gone wrong in 2020, the band is working hard to keep the music alive, and help reimagine what live music will look, feel, and sound like in the coming months... Stay tuned for more!!!
