Bio:
Band leader Evan Lanam grew up singing in his elementary school choir and they would perform at SF Giants games, and all around the Golden State. About 20 years later, and a lot of bands later, Evan is still performing, now as the lead-singing-drummer of The Live Oaks. Surrounded by some of his best friends, and best musicians in the Bay Area, The Live Oaks have a dynamic collection of songs ready for any room or audience.
Some notable acts they have played with are Norman Greenbaum, Larkin Poe, Ezra Bell, Jackie Greene, Rainbow Girls, Willy Tea Taylor, Shinyribs, Lindi Ortega, Robert Jon & The Wreck, Red Wanting Blue, Pablo Dylan, just to name a few!
