About Noel Evans

Noel is an Australian singer-songwriter living in New Zealand. He began playing guitar in school bands before studying with and then teaching for Alfred Alexander, one of Australia’s most celebrated virtuoso classical guitarists.

He went on to study opera singing at The Sydney Conservatorium of Music, under legendary Dame Dorothy Helmrich and turned down the lead role in the Conservatorium’s Mozart Opera “Don Giovanni” to sing in the original Australian production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s smash hit rock opera “Jesus Christ Superstar,” in both the Sydney and Melbourne Seasons.

Noel has played guitar in numerous rock bands, co-owned a Vintage American Guitar store and rubbed shoulders with some of Australia’s most iconic musicians, including members of AC/DC, INXS and Midnight Oil, as well as other high-profile international acts.

Noel released “Blue Water Mine” in 1999 featuring original songs and supported by some excellent musicians, including ex-AC/DC bassist Mark Evans. Since then, he enjoyed a successful executive business career mixed with patches of songwriting and performing on the Sydney music scene, as well as a couple of USA gigs. Now, after all that time, he is back doing what he loves best: writing, recording and performing original music.

So, after a long hiatus, here it is, with a nice new raw / live fresh sound: the creative work of “Abandoned Love.” With Noel playing all parts other than percussion / drums by Regan John McKinnon.
