Born and raised in Atlanta, GA, Evan and Jaron initially pursued careers as professional baseball players. Although completely committed to an athletic career, Evan always kept their dad's old guitar propped in the corner of his room because he thought it looked cool. With the passage of time, the brothers realized that the guitar might actually get them more girls than the bat. And probably more hits too!
Shortly thereafter, they formed a pop/rock duo, which eventually became known as "Evan and Jaron"-- a radical departure from the act's original name, "Jaron and Evan". After being discovered by Jimmy Buffett, they scored three Top 40 hits, including the Top 10 smash "Crazy for this girl". They have toured with an array of artists, including Sting, Heart, The Dixie Chicks and Maroon5.
After over ten years in the music business, the brothers took a much-needed break to pursue other endeavors, including screenwriting, producing, acting, inventing and Evan even started a family. The brothers currently host a weekly TV show on USA Network called "Character Road Trip" and have recently begun production on an as of yet titled show for MTV that they created.
On Sept 30, 2007 Evan and Jaron launched their groundbreaking project "52 Sundays" in which they will release one new song every Sunday for a year.
They currently split time between Los Angeles and Nashville.
