A Deeper Bed to Lie In: Banjo-Player and Singer Evie Ladin Floats Downstream With a Soulful, Rhythmic Old-Timey Sound
"She's got a voice that draws you in, a groove on the banjo that won't quit."
--Mike Marshall Evie's song "The Longest Night" was a highlight on A Prairie Home Companion when the Stairwell Sisters appeared live in San Francisco. "She can write, and she can sing, and she pulls back from the saccharine brink with just enough wit - a sharp intelligence."
--Grant Alden, No Depression
"Evie Ladin is a natural entertainer with a gift for infusing folk practices with contemporary verve."
--San Francisco Chronicle
"This is no throwback and this is no desecration. It's contemporary down home music at the top of it's game. There's been a lot of entries in this genre lately, and many have had a lot on the ball, but this one simply hits it out of the park."
--Midwest Records
"Elegantly tearing it up on the banjo, she puts the whole of her emotional self into her playing and singing...Engagingly vibrant and energetic, through tales of love lost and won, times squandered and treasured and backwoods observations that tantalize the heart and put a sway in head, shoulders, hips and feet. For every song that's sparse and reflective, there's a stomper that would fill the floor anywhere from Cajun country to Celtic country. It's as blissful as, well, floating downstream. Jump in."
--World Music Central
"Being an expert banjo player is just one of many talents Evie brought to the evening..her quick-fire wit and her amazing Buckdancing had us all breathless." - Concert Review, Peebles, Scotland "Clogger Evie Ladin set the house afire." - Dance Magazine "I don't know who's better, your wife or Sammy Davis, Jr." - Neighbor Charles
