Evie Sands

Teaches at Actors Technique NY Kids & Teens

EVIE SANDS will return to Jalopy on Saturday, October 14th to conduct an intimate playing and composing workshop. Evie’s infamous six-string guitar technique is a potent cross between earthy rawness and polished versatility that never veers far from the song’s rhythm and musicality. She adeptly executes without flash in a beguilingly succinct style to devise captivating licks, resourceful fills and infectious grooves that work off the melody in support of the song. Only she does it playing lefty, with the strings upside-down and strung right-handed. Pulling downward on bends instead of pushing up creates certain musical nuances different than guitars strung the traditional way. It also happens to suit her hands.
