Product DescriptionJeffery Armstreet and Jonathan Barrick met in the summer of 2005 and soon developed a close friendship around their love for songwriting, story-telling and the beauty of melancholy. Their collaboration set the stylistic tone for their new partnership. Their deep emotional connection with the audience creates a uniqueness in their approach to songwriting as well as their performances. In 2006 they formed Evangeline. The driving force behind their music is the desire to communicate the depths of life's struggles and challenges in relationships, choices, death, life and faith. With influences ranging from Pedro the Lion to Johnny Cash and Counting Crows to Otis Redding, Jonathan's sincere vocals combined with the lyrical honesty of the music's delivery set Evangeline apart with an artistic focus and authenticity.
