Evaline



Evaline is a rock band from Turlock, CA consisting of Richard Perry (vocals), Christian Lewis (guitar), Dominic Di Ciano (guitar), Steven Pedersen (bass), Greg Petersen (drums), and Daniel Petersen (baritone guitar). Evaline have existed, in one form or another, since the summer of 2003. Fresh out of school, they caught their first break when a friend of the band slipped a demo to The Used’s guitarist Quinn Allman following a show. Shortly after, Allman got in touch with the group and invited them to take a break from playing shows around their home in California, and record an EP with him in Salt Lake City, UT. For the following two years, the group tirelessly toured in support of the EP, but their relationship with Maverick ended after the label was bought out by Warner Music Group. While on tour, Evaline played in countless cities across North America and were included on the entirety of the Vans Warped Tour and Rockstar’s Taste of Chaos. During those two years, friend of the band, Greg Petersen, was added to the lineup. In 2008, they went home, reevaluated their sound, and began to write again. The band reemerged with a host of songs that were layered, passionate and thoughtful. In this time, Greg’s older brother Daniel was added on baritone guitar. Daniel studied sound engineering in school, and his inclusion has helped expedite the recording process. This is "Beneath The Fire" off their latest album (released this past June) Woven Material.
