Artist bio:
EVAN J. MARSHALL is an internationally renowned mandolin virtuoso, and is widely
regarded as the world’s premier solo performer on mandolin in Duo-Style. By
himself, he sounds like several of the world’s finest mandolinists performing
together.
His stylistic signature is Classical, with
strong influences from the Italian and American Folk traditions. Country guitar
legend Chet Atkins called Evan “ A true virtuoso, one of the few great
musicians of our time.” Inspired by Atkins and violinist Jascha Heifetz, Evan
has created a uniquely recognizable approach to solo mandolin performance that
combines bass lines, chords, rhapsodic runs, and tremolo melodies. He started
Classical violin studies at age 7, and added the mandolin at 14.
In addition to solo
performances, Evan has been a Featured Guest Artist
in Pops concerts
with a number of Symphony Orchestras,
including Houston, Phoenix, Long Beach, Grand Rapids, Fort Worth, San Antonio,
Jacksonville, and Pensacola.
Two of his solo mandolin
recordings have been released by Rounder Records: Evan Marshall is the Lone Arranger, which the Washington Post
labeled “Truly dazzling,” the
Raleigh-Durham Independent called “Superhuman,” and the Fresno Bee called “Mind-boggling”;
Mandolin Magic, which the St. Paul
Pioneer Press applauded for a “Stunning mastery of interpretation.”
Evan also has recorded
four solo CDs for his own label, Mandolin Conservatory.
In 1995 Evan made his
first appearance on A Prairie Home
Companion with Garrison Keillor. Between 1993 and 2005 Evan was a Featured
Soloist at Disneyland, performing his signature William Tell Overture: Finale
for about two million visitors to the famous Golden Horseshoe Theater during
the course of 10,000 shows. He has performed and taught at numerous regional and
international conferences for mandolinists, who hold Evan in particularly high
regard. Don Stiernberg has referred to Evan as: “The Michael Jordan of the
mandolin.”
