He's good, I'll give him that. Try "Randall Hill" Awarded top mandolin player in Canada 5 years in a row. Would love to see the two of them go head-to-head in a playing competition. Would be very interesting.

@Recordman12 Why does some sort of "competition" always have to be involved? What ever happened to two guys getting together for a friendly jam session on the porch? Yes, there are other amazing mandolin players on the earth. Big deal.

Has anyone actually called that number at the end? :-P

[fodera6]

I never did. I wonder though! :D

The best as we all have noted. It is so far above anything I can play. Yet is inspiring instead of intimidating.

Love to see him in person some day.

[fodera6]

He's such a nice guy, too. So humble. Quite an inspiration. Thanks for commenting!

This is so typical. A true artist is breaking his fingers in a display of almost super-human musicianship, playing a stirring piece of classical music...and idiots are busy chatting and talking on cell phones about their oh-so-interesting lives.

Music has become a commodity...and not a valuable one to most people. Truly a shame. Evan is the best.

This was like listening to an entire orchestra... But it was one man. Liked and faved.

Evan rocks! He has taken the classic method to a new level and brought duo style to the commoners! Thanks Evan

@Recordman12 Competition proves nothing. Someone is always known to the judges, or friends. It proves nothing. Half the time in competition they don't play the same kind of music. If i'm in a Comp. and i play bluegrass and the judges likes New grass, or likes classical. They might like a Irish jig. Guess what, no matter the talent I loss.

i just pee'd a little.

He used to play this at the Golden Horseshoe at Disneyland. I saw him at a coffee house on Highland in LA many years ago. Asked him if he taught. I had the privilege of taking lessons from this guy. Brilliant musician. Not only a great mandolinist/musician, but a superb teacher and a hell of a nice guy.. He has a degree in violin performance from Occidental. He said his parents shit when he only wanted to play mandolin after that! Get his first couple of CDs. Amazing stuff. He's a one man band.

I have to say that, having met Evan at The Mandolin Symposium, he is also an amazing teacher. In fact, of all the instructors at the symposium he was the best prepared and most organized.

This guy came to my school last week! He is such an amazing musician and so personable—his stage jokes are even alright. :)

[MichaelaLeach]

woah! this guy owns!

[voodoojazz]

Absolutely inspired.. I will be honored to share Evan's music with many of my friends. Mindblowing virtuosity with a playful feel and a ear for nuance. Fantastic stuff!
