Evolver

Evolver is a grime MC

What is Evolver all about? I asked this question expecting a deep psycho-analogy into the meaning behind the name. But was pleased to discover that Evolver, simply put, is about moving forward and expressing their musical journey through pure ROCK ‘n ROLL. Their sound is a wonderful fusion of 70s rock and the Now, intertwining a modern edge with raw appeal and rootsy blues.

Made up of three talented muso’s – Cliff Esterhuizen (drums); Sean Murphy (keyboards/Backup vocals) and Peter Pote (vocals/guitar) – this dynamic trio takes their interpretation of music onto stage with an energy so captivating, you just can’t help yourself but to get up and dance. All members have been jamming since their early teens, sharing a common thread, a love for music, and have been influenced by the likes of the Beatles, Guns ‘n Roses, Billy Idol and Elvis.

With three national tours already under their belt and more on the way, these guys from Jozi have no limits in sight. Evolver’s first single ‘Lets Get Naked’, which was showcased on SL magazine, was released by 5FM on the High Five at Five in 2004 where it reached No. 5. It also hit No. 16 on the Top 40. ‘Closer to You’, was then released in early 2005 on various stations, doing well on Algoa FM.

The next single, ‘Keep on Moving’, proved to be very popular, catapulting to the top, hitting No. 1 on 5FMs High Five at Five. Evolver's latest single, ‘Stronger’, has just been released nationwide so check this space…It has been taken from their up and coming Album GET UP. Also keep your eyes peeled for their first music video.

Exciting times, this is just the beginning and with a worldwide resurgence of interest in rock music, it is hard to let this act slip by unnoticed. Enjoy, Express, Evolve…
