Evan Ogden is a country music singer/songwriter from fort Worth, Texas. Evan was exposed to a wide variety of music growing up, but always gravitated towards his grandfather’s favorite records. Classic country from the 1940's and 1950’s had a profound impact on his early life and planted the seeds of appreciation for poignant songwriting, and classic, tried and true honest country music.

Evan works tirelessly to tell the stories of those he encounters and provide solice for his listeners. He can be found writing at the intersection of faith and fatigue, joy and sorrow, and solace and satire - always, acutely aware of those looking for rest from the long journey.

Evan released his sophomore album Undone July 31, 2020. Undone takes a decisively more personal and intimate look into Evan’s life since his debut EP, For Hire, released in 2017. “Undone is incredibly personal. There are a number of songs on this record that took me a while to come to terms with” Evan says. “Even though I’ve made peace with many of them, there are still days where their shadows cast long.” Examining himself and his faith serves to give the listener the space to do the same.

Undone is a medium for its listeners. The soft sounds, intricate melodies and poignant lyrics can haunt even the wildest of souls. Songs like ‘Undone’, ‘Thunderstorms’ and ‘These Songs and a Guitar’ find Ogden wrestling with his faith, a most personal endeavor.

‘Austin Rain’, ‘Write You A Song’, and ‘Better Days’ serve as tender endeavors that anchor an audience to the purity of new love. The intimacy and vulnerability leave the listener with a quite resolve to renew tenderness in their own life.

This record still contains plenty of high energy, foot stomping songs to keep the record and listener moving forward. The hard-hitting protest song ‘You’ve Got To Wonder’ leaves few stones unturned in its critique of contemporary suburban expansion, while ‘Jim Beam Bottle’ and ‘Everybody Knows Somebody’ are witty sure-fire honky tonk hits.

The record wraps with a single-take version of ‘The Great Speckled Bird’, a gospel song made famous by Roy Acuff. “Roy Acuff was my grandpa’s favorite singer. This song was not only a way to resolve and close the chapter on Undone, but also a tip of the hat to him for introducing me to country music and instilling a love of honest writing.”
