Recognized as one of the foremost vocal interpreters of jazz and standards on the Canadian scene, George Evans has been nominated National Jazz Awards Vocalist of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year, and Ontario Jazz Artist of the Year. Since surfacing in Montreal in the early-1990s, George has been celebrated diversely as "a ballad's best friend" by All-Canadian Jazz Festival, and "an agile voice and always swinging" by the National Post. George tours actively, and has been praised for his lively, polished performances in major clubs in cities such as New York, Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver.
George Evans first thrilled Toronto jazz audiences in 1999 when he launched his second album "I'm All Smiles" at the Top o' the Senator. He went on to appear there with regularity through the launch of his fifth album "Movie Songs' in 2005. Over the years George became familiar to audiences at home through frequent appearances on TVO, Bravo, and CoolTV, and through his many sessions and concerts for the CBC. George Evans was the founding member of The Three Crooners, and in 2004 he selected, sequenced, and produced the successful "Here Come The Boys: a Canadian Crooner Collection" for Maximum Jazz and Universal Music Canada.
Evans has recorded a current total of eight projects as a leader, and his latest album, "Bewitched" can be heard on all the major jazz outlets.
