What they say about Evo’s teaching–
Imagine the drag notes and driving rhythmic strength of Kilby Snow tempered with a touch that borders on the ethereal. The sound is terrific and he’s clearly at one with this instrument. June Maugery
If you haven’t seen Evo or had an opportunity to learn from him, you’ve missed a great opportunity. A superb old-time multi-instrumentalist, high-energy performer and excellent teacher. Actually, Bryan Bowers credits Evo with helping him develop his own unique style. Catherine Brittel
Evo is one of only a handful of people qualified to teach the old-time style of playing our instrument. Eileen Roys
I found the strengths of this tape to lie in Evo’s patience and thoroughness in explaining what he is doing and his care in slowing down to a pace wherein every motion becomes clear. Mike Herr,
Kilby Snow set the benchmarks by which all others are judged; Evo is the only player I’ve heard to compare. This disk transcends autoharp music too, being a fine oldtime country music display. Kerry Blech
Your instructional video tapes taught me to listen to what I’m doing in my music. You have a style of playing and teaching that’s easy to learn from. You opened up the world of music with your tapes. Gene Griner
