“Eliot from Glass Ghost is an old friend of mine from New York but we’ve fallen out of touch. I love this song a lot and the video is beautiful.”

“Bhagavan Das became well known when Ram Dass published “Be Here Now” and his existence just trips me out. I like devotional music most of all and this is a fine example.”

“Dope video for a dope song. I like a lot of music from Philadelphia and spent a lot of time there when I was growing up. This makes me nostalgic for that time.”

About Evan Voytas :

“Evan Voytas is an LA-based singer/multi-instrumentalist. Born in rural Pennsylvania, Evan was raised on the oldies, listening to his father’s cassette tapes of Elvis and the Righteous Brothers. As a teenager, he discovered jazz. At age 18, he moved to Harlem where he immersed himself in various religious texts and 70′s new age paperbacks. He grew a beard, moved to the desert, moved back, shaved the beard, played lead guitar for a few pop acts, toured the world, moved to a farmhouse on a dirt road in Pennsylvania, started recording music, and finally ended up in Los Angeles. Since then, Voytas has released a series of self-produced EPs and singles.

With the winter months ahead of us, his new EP on Cascine, “Tomorrow Night We’ll Go Anywhere” keeps the fading sunlight overhead with five tracks that gleam with nostalgia and sincerity.”
