Evangenitals

Spring has sprung, flowers are in bloom, bees are buzzing, and the Evangenitals are coming back to the Coffee Gallery Backstage. Thursday May 17th marks the return of this wild bunch for an epic and intimate double set of songs, stories, and sing-a-longs. Promising a solid PG-rating for the evening, the whole family is welcome to come fall in love with the diverse catalog of band leader and songwriter Juli Crockett, whose compositions range from truck-stop lullabies to Klezmer-punk-jazz odysseys, from heartbreaking ballads to hillbilly stomp.

Founded by playwright/director Dr. Juli Crockett (Padua Playwrights) and opera, jazz & gospel singer Lisa Dee (Selah Gospel Choir) The Evangenitals are a veritable Pandora’s box of musical influences and experiences. On a quixotic crusade in the key of life hell-bent on breaking hearts open, they are a genre-bending, ever-creating force of nature. Filling out the band on this glorious night will be violinist Andrea Baker (The Moth Mainstage), bassist Joey Maramba (John Cale, Ninja Academy) and Cody Farwell (Goodnight Cody) on guitar and lap steel.

You don’t have to take our word that this is a not-to-miss show. Just listen to these fine folks:

“They seductively blow smoke rings of multi-colored camp fire haze right through your musical senses. This is fun, freedom, and freak folk all delivered with a huge capital ‘F’.” (Jeff Perkins, Seattle Pi)
