Evan Donohue

Music – Nashville

It seems unfair to confine the music of such an eccentric and talented person like Evan P. Donohue to any sort of written definitions, especially because the genre-crossing songs he plays will only work to prove you otherwise. Certainly, there are elements of rock, pop, and Americana to the band's sound, and nods to Elvis Costello, The Strokes, The Rolling Stones, and Of Montreal are hard to miss, but the most pervasive quality is just of an indefinable likeableness. It's retro; it's contemporary. It's heavy, but lighthearted. It's fiction, but it's reality. "Rhythm & Amplitude" is a collection of honest lies, where the elegance of the fable proves the importance of the truth.
