about

I’m kinda over the awkward third person biographical sections on musicians’ websites. What the hell is that about anyways. Hi! It’s me Bevin. How are you? Are you a human? Cool, me too. Do you like geeking out about music? Cool, me too! I’m so glad you’re here. I have so many stories to tell. Wanna hear it? Here it go.

When my 2020 goals of touring were halted by the pandemic, I shifted focus into the studio to produce an album that was a conduit of gritty stripped-down vulnerability. A departure in style from my previous digital recordings, “Buchanan” was released on January 16, 2021. It was recorded on a Tascam 388 analog, reel-to-reel tape machine with producer and sound engineer, Shane Zweygardt (Wire Faces).  

I have carefully curated a selection of songs that are very personal, raw, and imperfect. The process was an unexpected evolution from just myself and my guitar to a remote collaboration, in true 2020 style, with some of my favorite musicians. The intimacy and the style of the recording transforms you to a place of reflection, love, and where the past meets the present.

Buchanan is a town in West Tennessee where much of my family has lived and been laid to rest since the 1800’s. The album cover is Buchanan school (1921-1996). The school has been abandoned for 25 years while the invasive vine, Kudzu, lives on rooting into the ghosts left behind. Buchanan school was the first place I performed for an audience outside of my family. It was the place where I learned about love, friendship, loss, and connectivity.

Visiting Buchanan now is like stepping into another dimension where you can’t really discern what year it is, but you can feel the history and the power from all of the events and peoples’ lives that took place there. Stephen King would love it there.

Buchanan is a love story of loss, resilience, and growth.
