Description
Born in Florida in 1979, Evan Hesse moved as a child to the alluringly beautiful state of North Carolina. In this lush, natural setting; where the sights, sounds, and spirits of cultures past abound, he found himself drawn to a musical life. His first instrument was the piano, which study and fascination helped him to master by age 16. Living in the region of the Smoky Mountains, the very heartland of American traditional music, he grew up embraced by the strains of guitar and mandolin. Picking up a long neglected guitar of his father's one day, his first tentative efforts began an instant and lifelong love affair which defined his path. His college years were an immersion in the study of guitar music in all its forms, from Classical/Flamenco to modern Rock. Mentored in a world of guitar masters, captivated by the Spanish forms, he made them the hallmark of his own style and compositions.
At the age of 23 Evan headed west, where a one year sojourn in Tucson led to the production of his first two albums "Trance" and "E Natural." "Trance" is an exploration of the possibilities of keyboard and electronic compositions, while "E Natural" gave voice to Evan's guitar virtuosity and emergence as a lyricist. Live performance at venues throughout the Tucson area, and instruction of students, were his mainstay during this period. In the spring of 2003, he set out for Southern California.
Arriving in San Diego, working as a session guitarist and securing a properly equipped studio, Evan began the recording sessions which resulted in his latest and most widely acclaimed album, "Leucadia." The 10 tracks of this innovative collection of Spanish guitar pieces are awash with textures that evoke scenes of the early Californios and New Spain, all wonderfully burnished by the contemporary musical perspective and compositions of this remarkably talented young guitarista. His skills as a producer and engineer are fully evident in the rich depth of the aural tapestry that is "Leucadia." From the hopeful depth of "Sadness" (trk.3), the jaunty childlike "E Komo Mai" (trk.10), to the rapturous, warming glow of the title track; "Leucadia" introduces a new, young performer of phenomenal depth and craft.
Evan and his band, Hot Stash, are currently composing, performing and arranging to record songs for the next album. He performs live at venues such as the historic Hotel Del Coronado (not too far from Leucadia), and his music has been featured on sports television networks such as "Long Board TV" and the extreme outdoor film, "Hang." Stay tuned.
