My new single, "One More Spin Around" debuts tomorrow night on Cat Country 98.1 FM - WCTK! I feel like I've been waiting forever for you guys to hear this. I worked with so many amazing people on this track and I'm very proud of it. It will be officially released (iTunes, Amazon, iHeartRadio, and MORE) on May 1st! I hope you love hearing it as much as I loved creating it. TUNE IN @ 7PM!

 

Also this month, I will be opening for Sony Music Nashville recording artist, Casey James on April 29th at the Cadillac Ranch in Southington, CT. Tickets are $5 at the door and rumor has it that there is a mechanical bull at the venue....that's all I have to say 0:) HECK YEAH.

 

If you haven't already heard, I'm itching to make a music video for my new single, "One More Spin Around" but I need your help! Check out my kickstarter project: Go to kickstarter.com and type in "Kiley Evans."

Over and out.

I am still on a high from this past weekends events! I am the extremely proud recipient of The New England Music Award for "Country Act of the Year (2011)" and The Limelight Magazine Music Award for "Song of the Year (2011)" for my song, Johnny Depp. I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to either vote for these awards, come to a show, buy my music, or root me on in any way.

 

The only way I can think of to keep saying thank you (other than yelling it out my window every morning) is to keep putting out new music for you! I am so excited to announce that I will be releasing a brand NEW SINGLE ON MAY 1st, 2012!

 

My band and I are really looking forward to this summer and hoping to see you very soon! Thanks, again.

I hope everyone's year is off to a good start! I made a few New Year's resolutions and I have been relatively good (hehe) at sticking to them--(curse you peanut butter cups!?!) Although I may have given into the irresistable temptations of peanut butter and chocolate, there are a few resolutions that I am sure I will stick to. One of those resolutions is to play MORE SHOWS in 2012 and to constantly have new stuff to add to my performances, whether it be new tunes, new locations, or new instruments. And of course, you can be expecting full band performances starting this spring/summer! Another resolution is to get NEW MUSIC to you faster and more consistently. My team and I have been working on some brand new tunes this month, and I'm so excited to get those to you.

Hoping to see each of you very soon! Have a good rest of the wintah ;)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I can't believe another year has gone by. I would like to say THANK YOU, once again, for all the support I have received this past year. I feel so blessed to be surrounded by such an amazing team of people that enable me to be doing what I love.

 

At one of my recent shows, someone approached me and told me that one of the tracks off my EP (Papa's Song), motivated her to reach out to her father, and start video chatting with him. She told me that she realized that he would only be around for so long to share his stories with her and her children. It means SO MUCH to me to get that kind of feedback, along with all the incredible support and encouragement that I get from all of you. So, thank you.

 

In the upcoming new year, you can look forward to a BRAND NEW EP, more show dates with a FULL BAND, new VIDEOS, and much more. I would like to remind you to please continue to request "Johnny Depp" on all your local radio stations (stations posted below). It is more important than ever!!

 

Have a great year! See you soon.

I'd love to say that I have always dreamed of becoming a singer/songwriter from the time I was a little girl, but for me, it definitely didn't happen that way. Actually, I had always thought I'd follow in my father's footsteps and pursue a career in engineering.

 

Throughout high school I took classes that were geared toward engineering, classes that would help prepare me for college. The summer after I graduated, I was getting ready to move away from home for the first time, into my dorm at Wentworth Institute of Technology. Just before I left, my dad made a last minute gesture. He decided to send me to school with his old acoustic guitar--the same guitar that he had taken to college with him years earlier. At that point I didn't really know how to play it, but I gladly accepted, because I knew that it would make me feel better to hold it when I was feeling homesick. Over the course of my freshman and sophomore years, I took my dad's guitar out and played it every time I missed home. By the end of my second year I had taught myself how to play, and started writing my own songs.

 

On a school break, one of my family members sent me a link to a songwriting contest hosted by CMT (Country Music Television). I decided to enter the contest and thought it would be a fun way to fill up some of my free time. I submitted my first original song, called, "The Only One," along with a homemade music video. "The Only One" ended up in the top 64 finalists of over 2,000 applicants.

 

I didn't return to college after that. Instead, I moved home and began to pursue a career as a songwriter and performer. It had always been my dream to follow in my father's footsteps, but I realized that engineering was not the only way that I could do that. Like my father, my true passion lies somewhere else…in music.

 

In the past couple of years I have been passionately pursuing my newfound dream. My song, "Johnny Depp," has been receiving airplay from commercial, local and college radio stations all over New England, and scattered stations across the US. This past year I received the "Songwriter of the Year" Award from the Massachusetts Country Music Association and recently received the "Country Act of the Year" Award from the New England Music Awards, as well as the "Song of the Year" Award from Limelight Magazine.

 

I still can't believe that I strayed from the "life and career plan" that I had set for myself since grade school, but I'm thrilled that I decided to follow my heart. I couldn't be happier.
