The Eric Evans Project
Easy Strides

NOW AVAILABLE !
Grab your shades and hop on, because “Easy Strides” just rolled in like golden hour on two wheels: a breezy contemporary jazz groove blending smooth acoustic rhythm guitar warmth with funky undertones, where a vibing flute and octave guitar melodies dance over shimmering Rhodes, soulful vocal choruses glide like ocean waves, and a laid-back pocket rhythm pulls you into an effortless coastal cruise.
Think sun-dappled bike paths, cycling-rhythm percussion carrying you right into the moment—“By the tides… step outside… enjoy the ride… these are easy strides.” Pure feel-good fusion for your playlist. 🌅🚲
