CRITIC’S PICK: Some may recognize Evian as Sam Owens who led indie rockers Celestial Shore. But as Evian he works a lightly funky pop mode with dreamy songs and similarly-styled half-lidded vocals. This trek supports a recent third album titled Time to Melt. His wispy voice and generally woozy tunes are hypnotic and strangely alluring in a blue-eyed soul way, even when he shifts into horn-driven mode. — Hal Horowitz
From the venue:
Sam Evian’s Time to Melt is a waking dream, its intoxicating rhythms and timbral webs as settling, even seductive as an evening glass of wine. But making dinner, or whatever your ritual at day’s end may be, isn’t some idle exercise. It’s a place to unpack the pain and wonder, the suffering and promise of the moment, to reflect on where you have been and what might come next. In 40 striking minutes, or the time it may take you to make that meal, Time to Melt sorts through a year of a life spent in rage and hope, lockdown and love.
