Please join me for After Hours as I’m joined in conversation with jazz pianist/composer Falkner Evans.

This episode will air at 9 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 18, on KRBD in Ketchikan, Alaska. This show is tentatively set to re-broadcast at 6 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 20, on KSTK in Wrangell, and at 10 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 23, on KCAW in Sitka.

Originally from Tulsa, Oklahoma, Falkner is a New York-based pianist with an eclectic musical background. A third cousin to iconic author William Faulkner, Evans grew up on classic 60s rock and R&B before getting hooked on jazz in high school. After touring for four years with the Grammy-winning western swing band Asleep at the Wheel, he moved to New York City in 1985.

“Evans is understated, measured and methodical. Yet his way of elaborating a thematic structure…creates its own subtle surprises. He makes you listen carefully to discover the complexities that he configures beneath his music’s attractive but subdued surface.”
— Thomas Conrad, Jazz Times
