Bio

Evan wrote his first song on an out-of-tune piano in his basement.

"My mom's an artist, so I think I inherited her talent but in another form. Because when I write music, or even listen to it, I see colors. I know it sounds crazy, but its true. So, when I write music I feel like I'm painting."

Evan Jacob is dedicated to writing music that will surprise his listeners. And that notion is the reason for his enthusiastic, cult-like following. "My major influences, Ben Folds, Tori Amos, Rufus Wainwright, The Beatles, and Joni Mitchell all inspire me to...be"

He grew up in the suburbs of Minneapolis, and though he was cold, he learned that music made people happy. And happy people are Evan's favorite kind of people.

Evan lived in NYC, and often played venues like The Knitting Factory, Rockwood Music Hall, and Kennys Castaway. Now that he has moved back to Minneapolis, he can be seen at places like the Fine Line, and The Varsity Theater.
"Feel free to let go, let go to feel free."
