EVAN HORNE

Evan Horne (a.k.a. Tenzin Chopak) is a cinematic-folk singer songwriter, composer, and visual artist from Oak Ridge, TN, now based out of Ithaca, NY.  His music and live performance are known for their immersive, mesmerizing, and incandescent power that defy genre.  Raised in East TN with a singing minister father and artist mother, Evan was surrounded and suffused by art and music throughout his upbringing.  The roots of music from his upbringing in Tennessee resonate deeply through his own unique voice, emerging as both hauntingly timeless and fully his own.
