Description
Evan Honer was still a college student in Southern California when his music — a mix of acoustic
folk, indie-Americana, and alternative pop, delivered by a young songwriter who's never been
afraid to blur the boundaries between genres — began earning a global audience. It happened
fast. One minute, he was uploading performance videos to social media with little response. The
next, he was a viral success, earning 100 million streams with his version of the Tyler
Childers deep cut "Jersey Giant" and building a following with his original music, too. On
graduation day, Honer released West On I-10, a debut album that quickly led to viral success as
well as months of sold-out headline shows across America and Europe.
For his sophomore album Fighting For, Honer decided to keep things simple. Turning down
seven-figure offers from virtually every major label & grammy award winning producers,
Fighting For was recorded by close friends in small studios, churches, Air Bnb's and living rooms
and is being released by Evan's own independent label Cloverdale Records. With 500 million
streams and counting and carving a new path in the music industry as a 100% independent
artist, this is still just the beginning of Evan's journey.
