Midwest Coast, The Americana Band, Singers and songwriters from Nashville TN

Who is MidWest Coast?

One Woman, One Man, One dream

MidWest Coast is a music duo made up of Emily Frances and Dan B. Evans. Two people who, first found Nashville, then found each other.

Emily left Kenosha, WI in search of getting back to her musical roots and found her home in Nashville and country music. Dan, while growing up in Bellingham, WA and  studying music in Vancouver, BC (yes, he is half Canadian) traveled down to Nashville in search of combining his life long love of blues music with his new found passion for country.

Through mutual acquaintances they started writing together and not long after, formed MidWest Coast.  Why call the band MidWest Coast? The duo chose the name based on their home towns.  

First they played songs together, now they make music in and out of the studio.   Singer and songwriter, guitarist and engineer, now husband and wife.

What about the REST of the band?!

Instrumentalist and artist chase barrett

Chase is one of the most talented and versatile players we've ever had the pleasure of performing with.  He plays guitar, mandolin, dobro, slide guitar, the list goes on.  

His colorful picking and strumming is accompanied by colorful commentary.  

Dan and Chase met a long long time ago in a far away land called Madison, Tennessee at a place called something like GuitarMart.  They worked together, found they shared musical tastes.  Now Dan gets to play with his best friend and his wife. Which is why Emily loves to sing "You Ain't Woman Enough" to him during shows. 

Mr. Barrett, from Nashville Tennessee, enjoys long walks in the woods, KISS and Betsy, his telecaster.
