ABOUT EVAN DALY

Photo by Cat Jones

Evan Daly is a guitarist, singer-songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist musician. Born and raised in Northern California, he started performing in bands when he was 15 years old, playing blues, country/folk, punk, death metal, and an eclectic variety of other genres along the way.

Formerly the lead/electric guitarist and one of three main songwriters in the Americana/rock group Boot Juice, Evan often performs solo, with the Evan Daly Blues Band, or with Bootleg Boognish (a tribute to his favorite band, Ween). Other previous bands have included Tha Dirt Feelin’, Glug, Gravy Nation, and Death Remedy.

Along with performing, he also organizes Punksgiving, the annual holiday fundraiser for Yolo Food Bank in Davis, California. When not on tour, he can be found tinkering in his basement studio, debating music culture with his partner Cat, or snuggling with his enormous dog, Bonham.
