<title>evan runyon :: double bassist and composer</title>

</head>

evan runyon is a double bass and composer

based in the Northeastern United States. He creates and interprets music both agressive and lyrical. Clangorous and melodious. Overt and subtle. Old, new and everything in between. At home on the main stage, in the pit and all alone in an art gallery, Evan's pursuits run the gamut of styles and settings and his repertoire spans five centuries.

Evan has been privileged to share the stage and/or concert bills both nationally and internationally with a diverse array of artists. From the JACK Quartet, Carla Kihlstedt and Robert Black to Chris Potter, Luis Enrique, Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra and dadaist rockers Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. In 2011 he took part in the world premeire of David Lang's bristle.

Evan's principal mentors have included Robert Black, Patrick Neher and James Karrer. As a composer he is largely self-taught.
