Bio
Singer/Songwriter Evan Spade was born in Quebec City, Canada. Being a small town guy with big-time music dreams, he decided one day to pack up is life & leave with only a suitcase in his hand & a guitar on his back.
After spending years honing his craft with brother Steven Vegas (Drums) in London, Montreal, New York & Atlanta, it's only when he landed in Dallas that he met talented fellow singer/songwriter Bart Van Bemmel (Guitar/Back Vocals) winner of the inaugural VH-1 Across America Contest & friend Barak Seguin (Bass/Back Vocals).
As their chemistry developed into a brotherhood, they teamed up to play at various Texas venues & created many projects (see “Other accomplishments” below) together to fine tune a sound all their own & unleash their full potential with Evan Spade.
After spending most of 2008 writing new material with Van Bemmel & working behind the scene, Evan Spade headed back into the studio for a few months with 2-time Grammy winner producer Eric Delegard & Grammy-nominated Alex Gerst to record new songs including single HIT Human Cannonball, Joyride, *NYC & *Bird’s Eye View (BEV).
*See bottom of the bio
Getting momentum, their unique sound quickly earns recognition on the national & international stage:
Soon after its release, the catchy Human Cannonball landed in the hands of legendary DJ Redbeard, Billboard Award Winner & producer/host of the nationally syndicated show In The Studio who proclaimed "I have to start my day with the breakfast of champions, Human Cannonball -- twice! I'm convinced now more than ever that it's a mass-appeal HIT!"
The same song is gettin TV/Film consideration in Los Angeles (SYNCHUP) for placement on Major Televison Networks & syndicated shows in 2009.
The songs Bird's Eye View & Joyride (instrumental versions) have been added to Human Factor's catalog (February 09) for TV Shows consideration (Discovery Channel).
