With the sound of his flexibly burnished trombone tones leading the way, New Orleans-based 

Evan Oberla is constantly evolving as an artist, musician, singer/songwriter, composer & producer.

This multi-instrumentalist's wide ranging career spans genres of funk, jazz, pop, hip hop, roots, edm,

brass band, avant garde, rock n roll, Latin styles, & more, honing a musical soup of influences into

a distinctly unique yet joyfully familiar style of his own. ​

​​

 A naturally gifted performer with a unique voice, he traverses both the lyrical and the instrumental

in his own fresh way. Prolific with the pen, Evan flows compositionally from songs like his

latest single Taste, a summer soul & breakbeats style collaboration with UK producer manyhearts,

(released late June 2026) to his highly acclaimed concept album Canal Street Revolution,

(released June 2025), is a double LP of brass-heavy original compositions based on firsthand

spoken-word interviews from culture bearers regarding New Orleans'

1960s Civil Rights movement and beyond.

​​

Oberla’s live performance features a naturally dynamic sound arriving at an intersection

of melodious themes and adventurous improvisation, while maintaining a soulful groove.

He continues setting the course for new experiences that are built upon the vastness of his own musical

history and collaboration. Through this process he is on his way home, finding expansion in the slightest of movements; the breadth of which is being brought to life with his songwriting and musical expression,

either solo or with his band - culminating in the GROW. Through conscious collaborative interplay,

 the GROW's key goal is converging to find the music of the now.

O.A.R., Allen Stone, Elle King, Brass Lightning, Miss Mojo, Mike Dillon, Theo Katzman, Swatkins, Kamasi Washington, Wyclef Jean, Sexual Thunder!, Eric Krasno, Spoon, Rashawn Ross, Jeff Coffin, Deltaphonic,
