About Jim...
Jim Evans is a folk singer and songwriter who, with a lyrical approach to the genre, draws in elements from a vast scope of roots music. He has firmly set up camp in a tradition of songwriters who discover, borrow and then take the genre to a new place, often with vivid imagery at its centre.
His latest album, 'Milk Teeth' was released in May 2016, a follow-up to 2014's ‘On Seeds and Shoes’.
Jim tours extensively in the UK, and in Germany under record label and booking agent, Tonetoaster Records. He's also a regular name of UK festival bills and has clocked up supports for some great artists including Bob Lind, CW Stoneking, Ben Ottewell (Gomez), Micah P Hinson, Son of Dave, Lach and The Wave Pictures.
“There’s a stripped back simplicity to this powerful coming together of gut-felt words and instinctive music from Jim Evans, singer, songwriter, guitarist and banjo player. This is music from the heart, primal as the pull of heritage, deep-drinking as long-lived roots, its reflection of tradition given life by its blend of folk, blues and country.” – Folkwords
“It appears that with Jim Evans, folk music is not only surviving, but positively flourishing in Bristol…Overall, this is a top class album, a real asset to the collection of anyone interested in the folk genre.” - Wisperin' and Hollerin'
