JON EVANS

Jon Evans has been part of the bay area music scene since graduating from Berklee College of Music in 1991. As well as recording and touring with such notable performers as Tori Amos, Linda Perry, Paula Cole, and Alex Digrassi, he has been establishing himself as a flexible and accomplished engineer/producer/arranger. In winter 2000, Jon decided to build what is now San Pablo Recorders. From the ground up, it is an intimate space designed to make artist, local and national, feel focused.
