John Evans was born in 1948. He joined
Ian Anderson and
Jeffrey Hammond in a group called the Blades, doing the drum work for them. After some changes in lineup, the group became known as the John Evan Band.
Evans eventually would play with Anderson and
Hammond again, joining
Jethro Tull in 1970. He stayed with the band throughout the decade. Along with
David Palmer, he formed the group
Tallis. When that group did not really become a hit, he began doing building work. He has not returned to music since. ~ Gary Hill
