Evan Oberla is a musician & songwriter based in New Orleans with a dynamically resonant voice. The trombone has served as a gateway to a holistic approach of music making, and the sound that flows from any instrument he picks up comes from this relationship with the inside channel that opens to the ‘universal gramophone’.

Meeting at a confluence of soul, blues, funk, jazz & world music, the GROW exudes a coalescence of layered harmonic textures with funky bass & a percolating beat, setting the scene for colorful trombone tones and smooth vocals singing odes about life’s juicy mysteries.
