Will Evans pulls everyone into his embrace. He musically accesses a space without boundaries where all are welcome to commune openly and move freely. Through quotable folk-inspired lyrics, breezy grooves, and roots energy, it’s as if he’s giving you permission to be that pure self you can’t always be at work or even at home. The Rhode Island-based singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist also puts his words into action via his “Kind Folk” fan community, activating small acts of kindness, charity, and goodwill in tandem with performances nationwide. Buzzing out of the East Coast, he has consistently engaged and enraptured a fervent audience. By rotating between acoustic guitar, didgeridoo, handpan, percussive beatboxing, and more, he has developed a living and breathing signature sound of his own. Following Wishin’ Well [2013] and Signal Flares [2015], he reached a creative tipping point on Rise [2018]. Beyond collaborations with Trevor Hall, Mihali, and Paul Izak, it yielded the fan favorites Adam Eve”, “Rise” and “Hoka Hey” with over 5 million streams and counting. The album notably
garnered three nominations at the New England Music Awards. 2023 saw him share After The Burnt Out Sun. Between selling out shows across the U.S. and Europe, he has graced bills alongside Crosby & Nash, Grace Potter, Bruce Hornsby, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Trevor Hall, and Railroad Earth.
Meanwhile, “Kind Folk” has supported philanthropic organizations, including Surfrider
Foundation, Operation Warm, Do It For The Love Foundation, Always Home, and more. After generating over 50 million streams independently, he inspires through a series of 2024 releases and much more to come.
LAYTON MEACHAM Rooted in Charleston, SC, Layton Meacham brings a sound that shows his love for reggae, roots, R&B, soul and much more. He has a passion for life-giving melodies and proves the possibility that barriers can be taken down in music.
