Tom Evan

Hello and thank you for visiting my website!

I'm an entertainer.

I've been playing the guitar, singing and entertaining audiences for over 40 years.

Starting in my early teens, I played mostly acoustic guitar, singing popular Folk Music songs of the era. I performed at private parties at first and later at Folk Music circles and coffee houses in New York City and the surrounding metropolitan area. Since that time I have been honing my skills in a wide variety of settings and venues.

Throughout my career I have either maintained my own band or been a member of established Dance, Wedding/Banquet, Corporate Function and Show Bands performing at Nightclubs, Banquet Facilities, Hotels and Casinos and in concerts at Theme Parks, County Fairs, and Concert Halls from Maine to Miami.

I have now somewhat returned to my “roots” as I am back to performing solo, playing the acoustic guitar and singing popular songs from a wide variety of musical genres.

I'm experienced and available to perform in a variety of settings including soft background music for cocktail and/or dinner parties, in a more "entertaining" mode for backyard barbecues, birthday parties, weddings, anniversaries etc. or actually stroll through the audience utilizing a wireless sound system in a "get everyone involved" mode for social and/or corporate events and sing-a-longs.

I possess the repertoire and am experienced at playing at functions for all ages including today's young adults, "Boomers", "Seniors" and our "Elderly" generation. I am also well versed and experienced at playing for children's parties!

I am equipped with professional  instruments, a state of the art, wireless sound system and appropriate attire for any occasion.
