"...the music that flows from Angie would only be best described as a collision of funk, jazz, soul and a little bit of folk all wrapped up in a long winding road of poetry...Funky, captivating, edgy music that will make you fall over. Twice".

It's not often one comes across a young artist/singer-songwriter with the ability to create a truly unique sound and mix it with heartfelt, empowering, insightful and arousing lyrics that leave you groping for more. Angie Evans combines folk, soul, jazz and funk as if they were meant to be together. Her poetic lyrics and soulful voice speak of love, sex, passion, and consciousness.

Born in the suburbs of Northern California, Angie grew up contemplating the outer realms of society and culture. She started playing guitar at 17 and within a year she had written her first song and began performing for her friends. Angie attended Cal State University Long Beach, where she received a degree in Creative Writing with a minor Womyn's Studies. It was there, after finding the wonders of Womyn's studies, sociology, race, politics, and the literature of ethnic and female writers, that she began to believe in the greater good of the poetic and political word. All while discovering the beauty in conscious hip hop, soul and funk music, she began to find a voice that was the perfect fit in content and vibration.

At 21, Angie self-produced and self-released her first 5-song EP. Since then, she has performed at countless venues ranging from coffee shops to college campuses in Long Beach and in the greater Los Angeles area. In June of 2006 Angie booked a six-city, nine-show, west coast tour and made the journey completely on her own. In addition to this diverse array of venues, Angie has performed at many events benefiting various feminist, LGBT and women-centered causes. Angie has been a featured performer at the San Diego Pride Festival (2006), the Long Beach Pride Festival (2005/2006), Ladyfest San Diego (2005), Ladyfest Las Vegas (2006), Phoenix Pride Festival (2007), MODELS OF PRIDE (2006), RAISE UP & SHOUT (2007) and famous venues such as The Whisky A Go Go(West Hollywood), The Mint(Los Angeles) & BB Kings(Hollywood).  She will also make her debut at Michigan Womyn's Fest in the summer of 2008.

From the ground level, Angie has built herself a strong fan base, locally as a result of her frequent live performances, and nationally via her presence on the internet. She has sold over a thousand copies her EP to fans across the country. In addition to her EP, Angie has self-released 'Bootleg Tracks' which includes a selction of live and in-home recordings Over the past year, Angie has been regularly performing with her band that includes bassist Elliot Lawrence, drummer Natalie Martin and saxophonist Chi Austin. The four are currently in the studio recording Angie's debut album 'Cycle of Fruit' which was released May 10, 2008 on Independent Freedom Tribe.
Angie's music is a gift. She has said, “My music is not just for me, it is for those who listen...” and this is evident in her songs and her performance. Her music is intoxicating and her message stays with you long after the song ends. One listen will leave you feeling liberated, motivated, aroused, empowered, and full of positive energy.
