Buzz is one of my favorite players, and a super nice guy as well. I never pass up a chance to go hear him play!

A few years ago, friend brought Buzz up to my shop after Scotty's Convention. He sat down to my steel and made an instant Buzz Evans fan out of me. He's the "real deal" entertainer!

Moved to Vegas a couple of years ago. Heard of Buzz but haven't run into him yet. It looks like his duo is called 'Too Smooth". I'll definitely have to hunt him down.

Silverton Casino? With the huge Bass Pro Shop attached to it? They have a great medium size concert venue there. I've seen Everclear, Buddy Guy, Drive-by Truckers there.

I found his email address and contacted him. Waiting for reply. Thanks!

After Curly, Buzz is my favorite 'chordsmith'

Inspiring, to say the least.

Scott, our former boss, and band leader Ray Rich, has bought 3 Hilton pedals over the years and shipped them to Buzz. Buzz sent me a really interesting CD he made.

Buzz & I worked together,in the same band,back in the early '60's. He played lead & I played steel. You talk about being intimidated...! I learned a lot from Buzz. Some of which I am not at liberty to repeat!! ;-) ;-)
