Mike Evin

With Fujiwara Dance: Moving Parts

Toronto piano pop troubadour Mike Evin has been wearing his heart on his sleeve for over twenty years. His songs are like good friends that let you know you are not alone in the world, and they’ve endeared him to a fanbase across North America and Europe — including renowned Canadian artists like Barenaked Ladies and Ron Sexsmith.

The stripped-down nature of Something Stirs When You Sing, his seventh full-length album, brings the hallmarks of Evin’s timeless ‘old school pop’ music into fine focus — poignant storytelling, propulsive piano playing, conversational singing, rich harmonic movement and adventurous melodies that live inside you.

Born and raised in Montreal, Evin first gained exposure in 2005 with the critically acclaimed and exuberant I’ll Bring The Stereo, co-produced by Jim and Andy Creeggan of Barenaked Ladies fame. Evin has toured and shared stages with BNL, Sarah Harmer, Ron Sexsmith, Dan Mangan, and Martha Wainwright, and has appeared at festivals across Canada. CBC Music has called Evin the ‘next big thing’, and his song “Have I Ever Loved?” was among the Top 20 most played songs of 2015 on Sirius XM’s CBC Sonica.“Al Green” reached #1 on Sirius XM’sTheVerge.
