Braden Evans would often raid his father\u2019s record collection\nand make mix tapes of The Beatles as a child. This early passion for The Beatles spawned\nnot only his love for music but also his pop sensibilities. Then influences like Pearl Jam and\nJeff Buckley\nhelped him shape the raw emotive and passionate voice that we hear today.\nNo stranger to the stage, Braden spent the early to mid 2000&#8217;s fronting hard rock outfit\nRivers-End.\nReleasing their debut EP through Bonza Records.\nThe band received radio play from Triple M and Triple J. With tours up and down the East\ncoast of Australia,\nRivers-End played alongside bands like; The Screaming Jets, Birds of Tokyo and\nGyroscope.\nIn a bold move to further develop his song craft, Braden sold all of his electric guitars and\namps in exchange for an acoustic guitar and began work with American producer Lamar\nLowder.\nHis debut solo album titled &#8220;Tempting the Thieves&#8221; was produced and released in November\n2013 and afforded him the opportunity to perform at some great Australian venues such as\nthe Enmore, Anita&#8217;s Theatre, The Sydney Cricket Ground and ANZ Stadium, alongside some\nmusic industry legends such as Richard Clapton, Billy Joel, Aerosmith and Van Halen.\nFollowing a successful run of performances opening for Blood,Sweat &amp; Tears on their\nAustralian tour in 2015\nBraden released his 2nd offering. A self produced intimate, acoustic EP titled &#8220;Sweet Ass\nTime&#8221;, which was launched to a packed house at The Vanguard in Sydney.\nIn May 2017 Braden made the leap to full time musician, to further develop his stagecraft and\nmusical capabilities, playing up to 9 shows a week with such runs as 65 shows in 65 days, the\nstage has definitely become a very comfortable place.\nIn 2019 the release of the single \u2018Midnight Hummingbird\u2019 Marked a change in direction.\nWith this more upbeat and rocking offering, Braden was invited to perform \u2018Midnight\nHummingbird\u2019 at the Sydney Cricket Ground before an NRL game. Following this\nperformance was invited to be apart of the NRL\u2019s pre-game entertainment during the semifinals at Brookvale Oval and GIO stadium in Canberra.\nDuring the Covid lockdown in mid 2020 Braden Co-wrote a handful of Indie\/Folk, Acoustic\nsongs that are currently being used in TV shows around the world, most recently in the\nNetflix show \u2018Who Killed Sara?\u2019 and \u2018Stay Close\u2019<\/span>\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/bradenevans.com\/\">bradenevansmusic.com<\/a>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-666e0d0\" data-id=\"666e0d0\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bbc3c23 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bbc3c23\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span style=\"color: #ffffff; background-color: #020001;\">Chilean-born<strong><em>, Victor Martinez Parada<\/em><\/strong> is recognised as one of the world\u2019s finest classical Latin-American avant-garde solo guitarists.
