the blurb
Kevin Evans & Brian Doherty have been an
integral part of the East Coast music scene for twenty years. They have been together as Evans &
Doherty for fourteen years. To
capture the essence of an Evans & Doherty performance, take a lively
blend of traditional, original and contemporary songs, add a liberal sprinkling of stories
and humour, then sit back and enjoy these fine entertainers.
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:

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.
