Following a brief hiatus from the Nottingham music scene, singer-songwriter Jimmy Evans is back with his signature blues-inspired blend of acoustic melodies, soulful vocals and bewitching lyrics. Heavily influenced by artists including Ben Harper , Amos Lee and John Martyn; and stints spent writing and performing in Nashville – including at the iconic Bluebird Café – Evans is fresh from the recording studio and, with a recent debut single release and EP launch on the horizon, the future looks rosy!

Jimmy Evans' Reviews

Jimmy played an hour set for our wedding reception. We and the guests absolutely loved it! He knows how to get the crowd going, and the variety of songs he allowed us to pick from was great. Thanks again Jimmy!

Jimmy sang at our wedding and he was fantastic. He set the scene perfectly for the walk down the aisle and also sang after the ceremony for drinks and canapes. He has a great range of songs and we had so many guests tell us how good he was afterwards. Dom and Jess
