| Best Personal Quote: "That's what college is all about...big, blue balls." (about a yoga ball...we think) |
| Evan grew up in northern California, where the skies are still blue and nobody stays up past 5:30pm. He began singing in high school, and was given a keyboard as a graduation present. After teaching himself to play ever so slowly, Evan developed his songwriting prowess alongside Nick Giordano's guitar grooves. Evan is a workaholic who spends most of his time working as a Community Ambassador, planning the future of the band, playing music, organizing volunteers in Oakland, or writing. Oh, and sometimes sleeping. Evan likes to think of himself as a hopeless romantic, lush, and tortured genius, but we're pretty sure only the second one is true. He often has to be resuscitated after shows, due to the violence of his stage spasms (the medical term is "rocking out"). He likes cats, but is allergic to them. Figures. |
