OutsideOverThere

Not so very long ago, maybe a lifetime or two, maybe just this summer past, I met these incredible young men, vision impaired both of them by the genes that provided them with so many gifts, physical, emotional, and intellectual. Raised in a truly unconventional way with tolerance, acceptance of the beautiful beings that they are, encouragement, and the most abundant ingredient in their upbringing~ love. Self taught musicians, writers, dancers, artists, story-tellers, wise philosophers both, the gentlest of gentlemen. It began with love, this journey, and with love it continues. These two extraordinary young men, Sebastian and Dominic Evans, musicians, artists, mystic visionaries both of them, expressing the respect and reverence for their ancestors, and the generous love of their living tribe, in the music of their collective spirit.... Bash, age 20, composer, guitar, ukulele, autoharp, banjo, vocals, calm lord of his land, fingers like lightening, guitar virtuoso, working in the color of sound, the light of paint, the precision of pen. With only 13 lessons at 13 years and a passion born from the first pluck of string, this young man plays the guitar, and my how he plays! Nico, age 18, primary lyricist, lead vocals, guitar, hand drum, mandolin, banjo, cartoon face, body of Adonis, with the wisdom and grace of a man many times his age, hearing words in his head to the songs his brother played in their house, expressed his voice, and the magic began to happen. When this man sings, we listen, we weep, we laugh, and no one is left unmoved! This amazing young duo began their musical journey as UncleJack a name inspired by and in reverence to their eccentric and multi-faceted great ancestor. As they’ve matured and their music has progressed in depth and scope, they’ve metamorphosed into OutsideOverThere. So, it is with pride, and a great honor that I introduce you to Bash and Nico Evans, OutsideOverThere. They are my tribe, and we all are excited to share with each and every one of you!
