Wailing City Spotlight: Interview With Will Evans

Published December 18, 2025

Interview by Meghan Killimade

Thanks so much for chatting with us, Will! Looking through our archives – Wailing City contributor, Corrine Jensen, actually spoke with you back in 2011 when your previous band, Barefoot Truth, was touring. How have things evolved for you since the band’s hiatus and the emphasis has been on your solo work?
I would say the emphasis on touring has remained the same.  The industry has definitely evolved a lot and I feel it has become much harder for Independent artists.  However, having built a grassroots following with Barefoot it was helpful in having a blue print to follow.  Connecting with and empowering the fan base is the best way to have a sustainable career.
