FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE



EVANSCAPPS ALBUM HITS STORE SHELVES TODAY



Capps Mourns Loss of Evans But Vows To Carry On



EVANSCAPPS, the side project of Ean Evans (bassist for Lynyrd Skynyrd) and
Bobby Capps (keyboardist for .38 Special), released its album, "Last Time,"
today, May 12th, via Rock Ridge Music. As has been widely reported in the
media, Evans passed away on May 6th after losing his battle with cancer. He
was 48. Rock Ridge Music plans to donate a portion of the proceeds from the
sale of the album in Evans' name to Lyrics For Life (www.lyricsforlife.org),
a charity founded by labelmates Sister Hazel that benefits children with
cancer and their families



The album is available f.y.e. For your entertainment stores nationwide and
at fye.com, as well as via online music download portals. "Last Time"
features eleven songs of "Southern alternative metal," as Evans dubbed their
sound. Capps provides the lead vocals with Evans on guitar on an album that
allowed each artist to showcase their talents in a harder rock vein than
either has played in their other bands.



Says Capps about Evans: "Although I am having a hard time with all of this,
I made a promise to Ean, and I intend to see it through. I have consulted
with Ean's family, and we have all agreed that we should carry the torch
that he ignited three years ago when we started this CD. One of his biggest
dreams was to have this music heard. He was so proud when the project was
finally signed and the record was going to get the distribution it so well
deserved. I know in my heart of hearts that he is smiling down on us today,
proud that our efforts will finally have a chance to be heard. He always
said, 'This music will do the talking if we can just get people to hear
it.'"



Prior to his passing, Evans said about the record: "A lot of time, energy,
and the love of many friends went into this album. The music is new with a
heavy edge and a deep meaning. It has been in our hearts for a long time
and finally we can share it with the world. This journey has been a roller
coaster, but the timing of everything is perfect. My hope is that everyone
who hears this album will be moved to change something that is wrong into
something that is right for the sake of all mankind."



"This CD is one of my greatest personal achievements," Capps says, "and it
would not have been possible without one of the greatest musicians I've ever
met, Ean Evans. He believed in me like no one else has. His guitar work on
this CD rivals some of the best in the world. A few weeks ago he asked me to
carry on. I will do everything in my power to keep his memory, spirit, and
music alive. I will carry on for you, brother."



The duo of Evans and Capps met when .38 Special opened for Lynryd Skynyrd on
tour in 2003. Within several months of meeting, the two were already hard
at work on the music that would become the basis for "Last Time." The album
was originally released via digital download in 2006, but the current
version was rerecorded and remixed. Joining Capps and Evans in the
recording studio were: session drummer Greg Morrow; Todd Harrell (3 Doors
Down) and Todde Lawton (Toby Mac), (both contributed some bass parts);
Rickey Medlocke (Lynryd Skynyrd, Blackfoot) (who was involved on the guitar
front). Some additional friends helped out as well: John Simpson
(keyboards), Hoyt Allen (background vocals), Tim Cabe (guitar), and Gordon
Mote (organ/strings).
