On Saturday, we headed to Ann Arbor to see Megan’s long time friend Evan. She was in town from San Diego along with her husband Keith to visit her brother and his family, along with her parents who flew in from Billings. Megan’s dad has even been close friends with Evan’s father since grade school, so the ties go way back. Being only 50 miles away, Megan wasn’t going to miss the opportunity to spend some time with them.
The highlight of the evening (besides an awesome dinner at BD’s Mongolian BBQ) was Evan performing at a coffee house in downtown Ann Arbor. As she calls it, she plays with an Alternative/Pop/Rock style. Just over a year ago, she seriously launched her music career and has already had some great successes in both San Diego and Los Angeles.
Now I’m not at all in to this music generally, but I guessing knowing Evan already makes it much easier for me to listen to her perform. Both her CD and live performances I can actually tune in and listen to what she’s singing. I honestly can’t easily do that with any other group (okay, it’s just her). I guess one of the cool things is that the CD has the same songs as what she performs live, but the recordings have a bunch of extra instrumentation and her live shows are just with acoustic guitar, so they end up being very different listening experiences.
So, I suggest you start with her CD, since that will be a lot easier than finding her at your local coffee shop. You can find out more by going to EvanBethany.com or you can listen to some of her tracks on Evan Bethany’s myspace page.
