Evie Barrand - Music

Evie is an up-and-coming young singer-songwriter from Market Weighton in the East Riding of Yorkshire. She began singing and playing guitar at the tender age of eight, and started to write her own music when she was just fourteen, finding it the best way to express her feelings. She has just released her debut single “Summer’s Warm”, which came out on 20th January 2018. Evie's music is heavily influenced by the 90’s/noughties UK indie scene, particularly bands like Travis and Keane, and she has been praised on Twitter by both Fran Healy (Travis) and Tom Chaplin (Keane) for her covers of their songs. She warmed up the crowed ahead of Will Young’s performance at Junction Goole in 2015, and supported Chantel McGregor at the same venue in 2016. She also made solo appearances at Beverley Folk Festival, Shiptonthorpe Folk In The Field Festival and FolkSail Festival in Goole during the summer of 2017. She now hopes to make 2018 a breakthrough year to push her music.
