They can start toes tapping with a rousing drinking song or bring a tear to the
eye with a lament on the futility of war. -
Anne Ingram, The Daily Gleaner ... It seems to me that every time I have heard Brian
Doherty and Kevin Evans live on stage or on tape and now CD over the years I
have become more and more convinced they are the greatest folk duo still
performing in this world. I am sure
that if traditional music fans all over the world could hear them they would
agree. - Gerry Taylor, Telegraph Journal ... they're great fun and they deliver a great sound. - Country
Living, Bibi's Week in Ireland ... Brian & Kevin sound great together... the depth of
Kevin's relationship with his guitars is evident throughout the album as usual.
He's a master. - David Cadogan, Mirimichi Leader ... opening the proceedings were Evans & Doherty with a warm manner that quickly drew a favorable
response from the full house... their smooth professional work on bass and
guitar was an excellent introduction... these two Irish-Canadians spun a line of
chat, songs and shaggy dog stories that washed away a late start to the show.
- John Reid, The Press,
Christchurch, New Zealand ... a unity that derives in part from the singers superb harmony and richly resonant guitaring... - Dave
Butler, Mirimichi Weekend ...an
energetic musical pair. Their set
animated the large crowd to something approaching a frenzy... humorous,
traditional and original songs all delivered with a resonant sound from their
two guitars... it wasn't only their first-rate musicianship that made their set
great... the choice of material was also great... the audience didn't want to
let them go. -
The Chronicle Herald ... The Second Week Of Deer Camp is one of the hottest
singles this fall. - Paul
Kennedy, The Sunday Daily News ... (Live At
Lunenburg) is sensational, a great recording.
One of the finest tapes ever produced... their song version of Hamlet is
worth the price of the tape. - Telegraph-Journal ... Evans & Doherty ended the first half with Irish
humour and a sublimely polished duo performance of songs both comic and sad two of the best entertainers in the
business. - Stephen
Pederson, The Mail Star As well as performing front and center on stage, Evans & Doherty are involved with many aspects of the music industry. Brian owns and operates Eastern Entertainment Agency, a booking agency and production company which co-ordinates tours of Atlantic Canada for many Canadian and international acts. Kevin owns and operates Modtrad Music, a publishing company, through which much of the material performed by Evans & Doherty is published and licensed. Through Eastern Entertainment Agency, Evans & Doherty have produced recordings for a number of East coast groups, as well as three compilation recordings (A Taste Of The Maritimes, A Taste Of Atlantic Canada and An East Coast Christmas) for national labels. As a songwriter and producer, Kevin has enjoyed success; his song “Christmas Memories” recently achieved platinum status in Canada for John McDermott. Tommy Makem and Liam Clancy recorded “The Orchard”, another of Kevin’s songs. Stompin’ Tom Connors has recently recorded Kevin’s “Silver Sea”, a great compliment considering Stompin’ Tom doesn’t usually record other people’s material. Evans & Doherty have recently embraced the e-commerce world. Their site www.evansanddoherty.com offers online shopping as well as press information, a guestbook, a tour schedule and MP3’s for download. Evans & Doherty along with Jimmy Sweeney, have released a new recording titled “Sailing Ships & Sailing Men”, the musical companion to a one-hour radio program written by the trio and broadcast on CBC’s Atlantic Airwaves. The program deals with life at sea and the songs used by sailors while they worked. To celebrate their fifteenth anniversary and coincidentally the fifteenth anniversary of the Lunenburg Folk Harbour Festival, Evans & Doherty have re-released their Live At Lunenburg recording on CD. As a bonus track, the CD includes “Nova Scotia, Nature’s Song”, used by N.S. Tourism to promote the province at home & abroad. Evans & Doherty, this year, will perform at the Lunenburg Folk Festival, The Stan Rogers Festival and The Celtic Colours festival. A detailed itinerary can be found on the Evans & Doherty homepage at: http://www.evansanddoherty.com Equally at home in a pub-setting, concert hall, festival or
convention, Evans & Doherty are first-rate musicians, singers,
songwriters, promoters and producers.
They also possess the ability to entertain any audience, any place, any
time. |
