Since the age of thirteen (or thereabouts), Bob Evans has been inhabiting a recess in Kevin Mitchell’s psyche. Bob began making tentative steps on to the live stage by the age of 21, armed with only 6 shabby songs about the search for love and playing fullback in the football team. By the age of 24 this song list had grown to many and the live stage appearances had become more frequent. It was at this point that Bob began to formulate the concept of an album, trawling through his life’s work and dem-oing songs in his back room with a microphone stickytaped to a guitar stand to record his guitars.
In the autumn of 2003, aged twenty five, Bob ventured in to the studio with Adam Said Galore bass player Simon Struthers to produce his debut album, "Suburban Kid". The end result is twelve songs, incorporating country, pop, soul and folk influences and subject matter involving falling in love, broken down cars, falling out of love, coming down off drugs on a Christmas morning, falling in love again, going out on a Friday night, and the wonder of being loved whilst being totally unworthy. Bob hit the road to promote Suburban Kid, touring in Australia with a guitar and a backpack, apart from that triple bill with Evan Dando and Tim Rogers when other folk seemed to look after the essentials.
He has played with Bright Eyes, Tegan and Sara and Little Birdy in the last year, and had a lot of fun doing it. Bob Evans signed to EMI Australia in July 2005 after he sent out a grand total of 1 demo. He is now in Nashville Tennessee holed up in a studio recording his sophomore record and dodging hurricanes. Guided by the deft touch and helpful ear of Mr Brad Jones (Josh Rouse, Yo La Tengo, Butterfly Boucher) he is crafting a record which will contain 12 of the best damn songs he could possibly produce. Ken Coomer (ex Wilco) and Brad formed a rhythm section to be feared, and with Nashville providing the flavour it’s going to be one hell of a record.
