Evan Oberla is an artist, multi-instrumentalist musician, & songwriter/composer based in New Orleans with a vibrantly resonant voice. His sound is naturally dynamic arising from an intersection of melodious themes, rich harmonies and spontaneous improvisation, underpinned by a deep sense of rhythm complete with a soulful feeling. Throughout his career, this gifted performer has delved into many varied genres, honing a musical soup of influences into a style at once familiar to the ear yet uniquely his own.

 

Evan believes that music is a powerful voice in the dynamic of society, and that the artist’s responsibility is to not only point out the truth of the matter, but to shine a little love. After graduating with a degree in jazz trombone performance from the Ohio State University and getting his start in nightclubs, Evan has spent the better half of his career traversing the country playing shows & festivals, recording & collaborating, and forging his own path in the music world.

 

He has released a handful of albums & EP’s of original music with various outfits over the years, including Eyope, EOP, RFG Quintet and now under his own name, with his cast of bandmates taking on the moniker of the GROW.
