Evan Blackerby has something to say. With his full band, “the Bandwagon,” and solo he has been relentless in working to cultivate his own musical voice and sound - a sound that can only be described as alt-bluesy Americana, folkish-rock-esque singer-songwriter. Over the past few years, he has found a sweet spot where unpolished honesty can still create a groove. Blackerby’s debut full-length, full-band album "Hop on the Bandwagon" was released in January 2025 (recorded in Winston-Salem, North Carolina by Doug Williams / Electro Magnetic Recorders and mastered by Grant Livesay / 68 Sound).
In 2025, Evan won the North Carolina Folk Festival’s 2025 “Not Your Average Folk Contest” and the Bandwagon performed on the main stage.
Also in 2025, he performed with the trio as guests on The Martha Bassett Show in Elkin, NC and solo as a part of the Emerging Artist Series hosted by Greensboro’s Flat Iron.
After writing songs for decades, in 2022 Blackerby turned forty-one years old and lost his job. Deciding he was tired of waiting around for someone to stumble upon his songs and decide they
were good enough, he personally declared himself to be a full-time musician and sought to fill his entire schedule with music. He has since played over 850 shows.
While Blackerby continues to evolve sonically and as a songwriter, his incessant commitment to bringing people together through music has never shifted. He still has more to say.
