Evans & Doherty

Kevin Evans & Brian Doherty have been an integral part of the East Coast music scene for twenty years. They have been together as Evans & Doherty for fourteen years. To capture the essence of an Evans & Doherty performance, take a lively blend of traditional, original and contemporary songs, add a liberal sprinkling of stories and humor, then sit back and enjoy these fine entertainers.

As well as performing front and center on stage, Evans & Doherty are involved with many aspects of the music industry. Brian owns and operates Eastern Entertainment Agency, a booking agency and production company which co-ordinates tours of Atlantic Canada for many Canadian and international acts. Kevin owns and operates Modtrad Music, a publishing company, through which much of the material performed by Evans & Doherty is published and licensed. Through Eastern Entertainment Agency, Evans & Doherty have produced recordings for a number of East coast groups, as well as three compilation recordings (A Taste Of The Maritimes, A Taste Of Atlantic Canada and An East Coast Christmas) for national
labels. 

As a songwriter and producer, Kevin has enjoyed success; his song "Christmas Memories" recently achieved platinum status in Canada for John McDermott. Tommy Makem and Liam Clancy recorded "The Orchard", another of Kevin's songs. In addition to their own recordings, Evans & Doherty appear on other recorded projects including a recently released  promotional CD for Sheraton Hotels and Casino, a project produced by the duo.

Evans & Doherty along with Jimmy Sweeney, have written a script for CBC based on the Tall Ships which will become a one-hour radio program for broadcast in 2000. As well as having just released a new album, "The World Is What You Make It", Evans & Doherty have produced a debut recording for Nova Nada Hermitage, a group of Carmelite monks living in Nova Scotia. Evans & Doherty are working on the development of a script for a one-hour video based on the history of the Shubenacadie Canal. Evans & Doherty have an extensive tour of western Canada planned for January and February of 2000.
