Evangeline

Los Angeles, CA

Born and raised in the Valley, Evangeline grew up in a family of writers and performers.

She spent her college years gigging with a band and began releasing songs under the moniker Eva B. Ross, which led to notable collaborations with artists like Big Thief’s Buck Meek and Christian Lee Hutson in addition to early praise everywhere from Paste to Brooklyn Vegan. Quickly, though, Evangeline began to feel like the stage name she’d adopted to make herself more accessible was something she’d outgrown. The moniker began to feel like a costume, and she reconnected with the heritage of her given name and crafted the songs that would become her debut EP as Evangeline, Fuzzy (May 2023). Fuzzy is a raw, honest, and utterly addictive dose of alt-pop as witty and playful as it is poignant. The songs, produced with Dillon Casey (Weyes Blood), are dreamy and inviting, offering up shimmering sonic mirages that belie their true emotional depths, layering analog and digital elements into disarmingly beautiful soundscapes that manage to feel both modern and timeless all at once.

Since the release of Fuzzy, Evangeline has stayed busy, sharing a buzzy new single with Vulfmon (Jack Stratton of Vulfpeck), "Letting Things Go,' as well as her second EP, 'When Demigods Go...' ,produced by Max Shrager (The Shacks, Say She She). 'When Demigods Go...' is a warm collection of 60s-inspired songs with Evangeline's cozy voice showing up like an old friend - comforting, honest, unpretentious. In June 2024, Evangeline will make her acting debut as well as have original music featured in the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of Paramount movie, 'Winter Spring Summer or Fall,' starring Jenna Ortega.
