Welcome to Evan Davis Jazz!
I started this blog about seven years ago, August of 2009 to be exact, with the original purpose of helping to support local performers in Las Vegas. A few performers asked me to send out flyers to promote their gigs. Look what it’s turned into. I’m EVAN DAVIS or “EvanDavisJazz.” You may be familiar with me through my e-mails, which tell you about an event or performance that is coming up at a restaurant or club. I also publish a Calendar of Events, listing all the local events and performances that are going on in Las Vegas. The listing is a compilation of all the information that the performers, or the venues, send me on a weekly basis. Part of my goal is to keep this calendar timely and correct, so every week I send a request to the performers asking them to send me their gigs for that week. If the information is complete I can post it. There is so much great local talent in this town that you could go out every night to multiple venues, and still not see all the performers and musicians. With that said, I will try to keep you informed of what’s happening in my world, and would like to have YOU tell me what’s happening in yours. Let me know who you’ve seen, and what you think, by commenting on any of my Posts. This is for people who want to know what’s happening on the local scene in Las Vegas, and for people who want to share their own experiences. Whether you’re “In the Business”, or someone who goes to a restaurant or club and has an opinion about the talent you hear, let us ALL know. This includes any comments, good or bad, on the performers, the venue, and even the food and service. Please help support local entertainment in Las Vegas, and “Let The Music Play On.” * Due to occasional schedule changes and cancellations, it is advised to call before going. |
