The Will Evans Project Selected as Independent Music Awards Finalist
Austin, TX (Billboard Publicity Wire) November 7, 2007 -- The Will Evans Project, an experimental acoustic and soul-influenced group from Austin, Texas, has been named a finalist in the Music Resource Group's 7th annual Independent Music Awards. The trio's self-titled debut album has been nominated under the Live Performances category. Recorded in front of a live audience at Music Lab Studios, the album breaks new ground by bridging the gap between a polished studio recording and the energy of a live performance.
The Music Resource Group has added the WEP song "Oh Tomorrow" to the online Independent Music Awards Jukebox, which includes a rating system for all finalists in each category. Friends and fans are able to participate interactively by logging in and rating each song to determine the winners of the Vox Populi popular vote. The results of the popular vote will be announced at the end of January 2008.
IMA Finalists will advance to the final round of judging by a distinguished group of influential artists and industry insiders. The judges determining this year's IMA winners include Chad Smith of Red Hot Chili Peppers; Les Claypool of Primus; Ray Davies of The Kinks; blues legend Charlie Musselwhite; Rolling Stone contributing editor, Anthony DeCurtis and many others.
WEP is one of the most innovative acts to grace the stages of the Texas music scene. Their music challenges conventions of the genre by redefining what can be created with two acoustic guitars and creative drums and percussion. The unique production quality of the record and the trio's distinctive musical styling creates a new experience worthy of attention from even the most critical fans of Austin's acoustic scene.
Fans can listen to finalists and participate in the Vox Populi poll by logging in at www.musiciansatlas.com.
