Evan Zee

Evan Zee is a singer-songwriter with sound that represents the modern convergence of folk, jazz, blues, and pop.

Zee grew up in Auburn, was an eager violin student at age 7. By his teens, he swapped the violin for a guitar and began performing throughout the Sacramento region, making a name for himself locally as a venerable young  guitarist and songwriter. In 2014, he sojourned south to begin his graduate degree at the Studio/Jazz Guitar Department at the University of Southern California. In early 2017 he released his first EP, Something Heavenly, with singer/songwriter Danny Donnelly at the producer’s helm. In 2018, Zee and producer, Ryan Stewart, began working on his second work, Story. The four song EP marks Zee’s emergence as a unique voice in the singer-songwriter landscape and is bolstered by LA’s top musicians such as Aaron Sterling (John Mayer, Harry Styles), Tyler Chester (Blake Mills, Sara Watkins), Miguel Atwood-Ferguson (Thundercat, Anderson .Paak), and Madison Cunningham. Zee’s lyrical introspection and acoustic intimacy bears an obvious connection to James Taylor, while his ample use of open-tunings and nuanced rhythmic strumming patterns allude to ample time listening to Laurel Canyon’s queen, Joni Mitchell. This Americana texture is polished by a modern production, clearly containing it within the ilk of the likes of John Mayer and Kacey Musgraves.
