Roots-pop: an eclectic mix of roots-rock, power-pop, country, and Americana… A sound that’s been described as “Country roots-pop with the genius songwriting of 60′s & 70′s power-pop. A curious mix of Mavericks, Everly Brothers, Roy Orbison and Beatles” (CDBaby). Picture ELO gone Americana, and you’ll get the idea. When Craig Evans and Brad Tucker started singing together in the early 1980′s, neither could have guessed how long that partnership would last. With 7 CDs of music out – the most recent a Halloween project titled “DON’T SCREAM!” (Oct 2015), they continue to mine their collective experience to craft songs with unforgettable hooks and pop melodies, and to add classic tunes to their repertoire that reflect a wide range of interests and influences. Layers of acoustic and electric guitars mix with 3 and 4 part harmonies to give each song its own personality while the lead vocals and songwriting pull it all together into a very satisfying whole. Visit The Taters here. Russ Varnell was born and raised all his life in Black Creek NC.
