CLAY EVANS LIVE 12TH AND PORTER NASHVILLE TN



Organized by Clay Evans, LLC
Clay Evans is no stranger to the music business. Clay started his first band, Bluestring, in 1998 while attending the University of Georgia in the national music mecca of Athens, GA. Within a few years the group became local heroes, winning the Flagpole Athens Music Award for "Best Band To See Live" and selling out the historic Georgia Theatre a record-setting six times. The band's local success garnered attention from national booking agents and Bluestring took it's act on the road, playing as many as two hundred shows per year. In 2002, Clay's quirky, authentic writing was noticed by Allman Brothers' drummer Butch Trucks and the drum legend signed Bluestring to his own Flying Frog Records. The next year offered for the group tour dates with the Allman Brothers Band and a nationally distributed label release (Warner) which sold thousands of copies. In 2004, Bluestring was nominated for a Jammy Award ("Best New Groove") at NYC's Madison Square Theatre but the band would not be eligible as the members decided to part ways in February. Clay dedicated the next few years of his life to his songwriting and began to focus on a solo career and in 2007 moved to the writing and publishing world of Nashville, TN. Evans has a soulful, hooky writing style and his musical perspective has been described as "Paul Simon meets Gavin Degraw." Currently he is working with numerous co-writers in Nashville including Steve Leslie, Mike Willis (Big Tractor Publishing), James Farrell, Larissa Maestro, Josh Byrd, Glenn Mitchell, Matt Moore, and Jay Brunswick (Better Angels Music)
