Jaron
Born and raised in Atlanta, GA, musical brothers
Evan and Jaron initially pursued careers as professional baseball players. Although completely committed to an athletic career, Evan always kept their dad's old guitar propped in the corner of his room because he thought it looked cool. With the passage of time, the brothers realized that the guitar might actually get them more girls than the bat ... and probably more hits too!
Shortly thereafter, they formed a pop/rock duo, which eventually became known as "Evan and Jaron" (a radical depature from the act's original name, "Jaron and Evan"). After being discovered by Jimmy Buffett, they scored three Top 40 hits, including the Top 10 smash "Crazy For This Girl." They have toured with an array of artists, including Sting, Heart, The Dixie Chicks and Maroon5.
After over 10 years in the music business, the brothers took a much-needed break to pursue other endeavors, including screenwriting, producing, acting, inventing, and Evan even started a family. The brothers are finally heading back into the studio this fall to record their first record in over four years. They currently split time between Los Angeles and Nashville.
