We are excited to welcome back Evan Jennison who will be playing a special Thursday Night Music set from 5-8pm on 12/19.
About Evan:
Born and raised in the Green Mountains, Evan’s songwriting has been inspired by his surroundings. He draws from American folk music and Rock, with tinges of Bluegrass, Jam and Country.
Evan has opened numerous VT shows for national artists such as: Yonder Mountain’s Jacob Jolliff, Shred Artist Marcus Rezak, The Samples and the Grift. In 2024, he opened for Eggy and Daniel Donato at the Borderland Festival in Buffalo NY, and for Dogs in a Pile and Anders Osborne at The Divided Sky 5K Run Festival in Ludlow VT.
Evan appears as an enchanting solo artist singing heartfelt vocals with captivating lyrics, accompanied by his signature acoustic flatpicking guitar sound. This is only enhanced by him playing his original songs with a full sound and sweet harmonies, being backed and supported by Vermont luminaries that have included such folks as: Clint Bierman, Peter Day, Jeff Vallone, Russ Lawton, Ben Lively, Hayley Jane, Josh Dobbs, Josh Panda, Ryan Clausen, Ed Grasmeyer and more. He has also had opportunities to appear with Al Schnier and Vinnie Amico of moe., Cabinet’s Bluegrass Master Pappy Biondo, the Nth Power’s Nick Cassarino, Rob Compa of Dopapod, and others.
Evan was invited to play in an ongoing project of Sirius XM’s Ari Fink that has included Twiddle’s Ryan Dempsey, Big Gigantic’s Jeremy Salken, Lespecial’s Luke Bemand and Josh West of Annie in the Water.
Evan’s 2024 album, “Live At Tank,” is a collection of songs recorded entirely live in front of a studio audience at Ben Collette’s Tank Recording in Burlington, in early 2024. The track list contains Evan’s original compositions, and two reimagined traditional covers. “Live at Tank” features the musical contributions of Clint Bierman (electric guitar), Peter Day (bass), Jeff Vallone (drums), Ben Lively (fiddle) and Josh Dobbs (piano). This album effectively captures the energy of Evan’s live performances, and the undeniable connection between him and his band onstage. Stay tuned....more to come soon!
