Evan Champagne has been bringing his unique sound to the masses for over 10 years, having performed over 200 shows a year. With his guitar as his faithful companion, Evan performs a solo acoustic act all across Canada. While technically he is a one-man band, Evan’s mastery of the guitar combined with his innate artistic abilities come together to create something captivating, putting him on par with full-piece bands. Completely self-taught, Evan began playing the acoustic guitar at the age of 15 and shortly after started writing his own songs. Although he considers progressive rock and various underground bands to have had an influence on his music, Evan has always strived to create a completely
original sound, which is why he never took lessons. He explains “I never tried to be like anyone or mimic anyone. There’s lots of music out there that all sounds the same and I just wanted my music to be my own.” In Evan’s words, his music can best be described as “modern acoustic folk rock, but I play a wide variety including blues and rock. It’s mainly acoustic music that’s very expressive, music that my audience can relate to.
