“I play the basses. I sing and write songs. I compose, orchestrate and arrange.I share insights of my heart and soul that are a little poetic and a little philosophical. I perform. I connect and bridge disparate worlds of art, of genre, of humanity, one in” EVB
Bassist and composer, Evan Flory-Barnes, is a Seattle Native, who has been composing and performing music since he attended Garfield High School. He was a member of the award winning symphony orchestra at Garfield while writing music for the hip-hop group Maroon Colony. He is purposeful in his resolve to use his music to remove the barriers imposed on music, musicians and society--no genres. His vision is to create music that reflects beauty; stirs the emotions; and, enlightens the soul.
Evan-s work spans the depth and breadth of the musical spectrum. His unique, creative and expert skills in his art are a natural gift and talent inherited from both sides of his family. He has been blessed to have benefitted from training and wisdom from his mentors and teachers: Marcus Tsutakawa, Barry Liebermann, Doug Miller, Marc Seales, John Clayton, Rufus Reid, Ray Brown, Francois Rabbath, John Patitucci, Jovino Santos Neto,and Hadley.

From the train tunnels of Chicago to the orchestra hall of Seattle, Eric Fridrich has shared his music with audiences of all kinds. The music is a study in many world traditions subtlety woven into a singer songwriter sensibility "defies classification" (Tom Barille Former editor Chicago arts and entertainment magazine) with an instrumental mastery that has awarded performances with rock and roll hall of famers, grammy winners, and prominent african soukous, opera, flamenco and jazz artists. Eric is currently playing solo performances nationally, lead guitar for Lane James Band, Lady Grace and releasing multiple recordings from the past few years. https://seattlemusicleague.org/bands/eric-fridrich/
Wil Cope is an American folk musician and artist, both intimate and free. Son of a farrier, a constant traveler, washer of dishes and writer of songs, his debut album "Sunset Craves" harbors the sounds and images of the desert, the ocean, small town ghettos, farms and freeways. https://wilcope.bandcamp.com/
