After hearing a live performance of Ron Evans, one might think: he has invented a new music genre. Then the highly creative Ron and his fabulous band play a music style that simply can’t be catagorized in any known genre! A fact that had been mentioned in the German music publication “Blues News” in their review at the time of the CD release „Can’t Stop Now“ (2009).

Ron’s creative mix is simple and ingenious: „it must groove“! To achieve that groove, he mixes the best of Blues, Rock, Funk, Reggae and Jazz in every song. Live on stage he gives his band members the freedom to bring in spontaneous drifts and solos that elevate the “groove” to an absolute peak. A groove that goes under the skin and brings the audience to swing.
Ron Evans is always a highlight on stage. It doesn’t matter if he is playing one of his own compositions or covered songs, or if he rocks the music of the 60s and 70s …. it is always maximum groove!
„more than Rock & Blues“ – that is what Ron Evans is all about.

Ron Evans Group - 2 albums: Next Time Around / 65 To 97

Ron Evans, son of a German mother and English father, is born on December 3rd, 1947 near Hanover in Germany. Shortly after his birth the family moves to Cambridge, England. Then in 1954 his parents immigrate to Australia after his father receives an offer to work as a radio broadcaster for ABC in Australia. It is on the fifth continent that Ron Evans spends his childhood and most of his youth.

It is in 1971 that Ron happens to come in contact with the British IDA (International DJ Company) and receives a contract as DJ. For the next four years he travels throughout Europe. In the years that follow Ron marries, divorces, opens a record shop in Starnberg – all the while playing with various musicians, various bands and growing as a musician, singer and songwriter. Then in 1994 he closes his record shop to now solely concentrate on his musical career. And in the same year he accepts an offer from the Goethe Institute for a speaking role in a children’s musical. It is Ron’s virtuosity, his talent and characteristic sense of humour that brings both him and his band the numerous national and international engagements. Diverse CD productions follow. And since his main desire is „to bring something across“ with his music, Ron Evans now spends most of his time writing and composing his own works.

Then in 1954 his parents immigrate to Australia after his father receives an offer to work as a radio broadcaster for ABC in Australia. It is on the fifth continent that Ron Evans spends his childhood and most of his youth.

In 1962 his parents separate and his mother decides to return to Hannover with her son. Ron receives his first guitar with 16 and discovers his love for music. Influenced by the Beatles and the Stones he begins his first musical ventures. In the mid-sixties Ron attends the renowned Kamber Boarding School near Starnberg, where he becomes a member of the school band „The Generation“ and discovers his singing talent.

Upon completing his formal education Ron takes on a position as a trainee at the Bavaria Film Studios and gains his first experiences in professional show business. In addition he jobs as a movie extra, cable guy and DJ, yet never loosing sight of his aspiring musical career. His first personal artistic highlight is playing the musical accompaniment to a modern version of „Hamlet“ in the Deutsche Theatre, with Maximilian Schell playing the lead and directing.

It is in 1971 that Ron happens to come in contact with the British IDA (International DJ Company) and receives a contract as DJ. For the next four years he travels throughout Europe.
