He changed his name when his first band,
The Blades, changed their name to The John Evan Band.
Jeffrey Hammond apparently thought 'The John Evan Band'
sounded better than 'The John Evans Band'.

I found these 2 pics on my back up hard drive this weekend.

By Kind Permission Of is one of my favorite Tull songs ever!! Moreso a John Evans song.

I wonder what John does now. He lives in Australia, but I don't know where either.

Any clues???

Wow, had no idea he lives in australia. I think the only thing I've ever heard was on the 25th anniversary video where I think he said he was something along the lines of a construction lawyer? I don't know.

So great to see John looking healthy and happy! I am so sad that he does not play anymore. I wish he could play again.

I think Ian made the greatest mistake breaking up the 1976-79 line-up.

Yes it is a shame, but I can understand if there was a lot of tension in the group at the time. They had a great run though!¥¥¥¥

He must keep a very low profile (or uses another name?)
No recent references to be found...

I love John, one of the great eccentric performers of rock, and one of its greatest keyboardists. The depth of sound and atmosphere he added to "Benefit", his first full album involvement with Tull, changed them remarkably. The achievements of the 70's line-up are unthinkable without him. I would give anything to see him perform, tho that seems unlikely. I am glad to see him looking so fit in those pics. Good on ya, John!

That "John Evan Band" pic is a classic! Such fresh faced kids, hard to believe all this history comes out of such a relatively non-descript looking group. The latent talent like a ticking time bomb!

Laudable attempt Pat but Tulltapes wins the mystery ....prize with the answer BY KIND PERMISSION OF, and their just three of the many sources of that great piece.
I recently saw someone refer to this piece as being "written" by John so I just thought I'd post those as a reminder of what it was.....;-)

(and I dont doubt that Chico raided one or all of those!)
