___

Will Evans has spent the last decade as the primary songwriter and frontman for the New England-based roots-rock outfit Barefoot Truth. After four albums and 50+ million streams on Pandora & Spotify, he's embarked on his solo journey—carrying along some of the Jack Johnson-ish vibes from his earlier band. He's since released three additional full-length albums and traveled the U.S. & Europe several times over.

___

In his shows, Evans displays technical mastery of live-looping that showcase his skills as a multi-instrumentalist, including the didgeridoo, steel drums, percussive beatboxing, acoustic guitar, and layers of soulful vocals.

___

His album "Rise" was nominated for three categories by the New England Music Awards. The album features deeply personal topics of humanity, compassion, and a reflection of the current political times. While promoting the album, he toured extensively with his friend and fellow conscious-roots musician Trevor Hall, performing for sold-out crowds across North America and Europe. In 2020 Evans released 'The Summer Swell,' a 3-song live EP, as well as a new summer-vibed single: "Lean In."

ENVIRONMENT, HOPE, AND INCLUSION

A lifelong surfer and environmentalist, Evans' songs speak to the importance of connecting with—and protecting—the earth. At a time when so many are looking for words of inspiration and reassurance, his songs deliver messages of family, love, hope, and inclusion.
