The Soulive drummer’s new record, Merkaba, via Royal Family Records, features Danny Meyer on guitar and Beau Sasser on organ.
Mention the name Alan Evans to a room full of music lovers, and you will get a consensus nod at one of the most celebrated and tenacious drummers in the jazz, funk, and soul scene.
A producer, recording engineer, guitarist, percussionist, vocalist and writer, Alan’s repertoire of skills have been perfected with more than a decade of dedication.
The trio’s sound proves hard-driving and groovin’ with both dark funky rhythms and blues licks and solos. The band opens a window into another side—an emotional introspection, as dark as it is powerful. Their passionate progressions emanate an electrified, smoky, ’70s-era CTI Records zeitgeist.
