Will Evans

Hailing from the Atlantic coastline of Rhode Island, Will Evans has spent the last decade as the frontman for the New England-based roots/rock band Barefoot Truth. Having amassed 50+ million streams on Pandora & Spotify, and having traveled the U.S. & Europe several times over, in early 2023, he released his fifth solo album After The Burnt Out Sun featuring contributions by Trevor Hall, and appearanes by Bobby Alu, and Chali 2na (Jurassic 5, Slightly Stoopid). Showcasing his skills as a multi-instrumentalist, Evans displays technical mastery of live-looping in his shows that include the didgeridoo, hand pan drum, percussive beatboxing, acoustic guitar, steel drums and layers of soulful vocals.

Evans’ 2018 album Rise was nominated for three categories by the New England Music Awards: Album of the Year, Roots Act of the Year, and Video of the Year., and features deeply personal topics of humanity, compassion, and a reflection of the current political times. A lifelong surfer and environmentalist, Evans’ songs speak to the importance of connecting with, and protecting the earth. At a time when so many are looking for words of inspiration and reassurance, his songs deliver messages of family, love, hope, and inclusion.
