Standing six-foot-five and dressed in polyester, John Evans is hard to miss on stage.

He’s got a big smile and a bigger sparkle in his eyes.

As a performer, he plays like the love child of Johnny Cash, Buddy Holly and Elvis Costello.

But his songwriting is what’s built his legacy over 20 years as a Texas troubadour.

Music runs deep in this man’s blood. Add a little whiskey and it flows even better.

Evans is embarking on a new album and a new chapter. It goes down easy, with or without the shot.
