Jared Evers Music

Bio

Jared Evers is a singer/songwriter from the Portland area who combines sincere songwriting with lyrics rich in story and creative tones. American instrumentation mixes with indie rock tonalities, while memorable hooks and melodies create a familiarity to each song. Whether it’s with just a guitar or an entire band, Jared is known for his ability to captivate any audience.

Writing music for more than a decade, Jared's first album was inspired by a move to California. The land east of Los Angeles is beautifully lush, backed by a craggy skyline to the north. A drive up to Arrowhead or out to San Bernadino evoked melodies and songs primed for long drives on interstates. 

It took three years to complete Let Go & Forget. With a shoestring budget and deep friendships, Jared worked on recording pieces of his album a few days at a time. Engineer Blake La Grange of Mercury Mastering proved to be an amazing partner in the project, seeing it through to the end.

The project finally came to its conclusion in July, 2013. Let Go & Forget received great acclaim in Jared's hometown, Portland, Oregon. From features on podcasts and emerging playlists to a placement on KINK FM's Summer Artists Album, Jared's first album was met with positivity, the culmination of which was shown in two downtown Portland shows at Pioneer Square.

After performing around Oregon, the experience of releasing an album reawakened a simmering desire to move to Nashville. The spring after his release, Jared moved with his brother and best friend to Nashville in pursuit of a career in music.
