About Evan:
Evan Bartels comes from a town of 100 people called Tobias. Found on a lone stretch of highway that cuts across the Nebraskan prairie, it’s a place that offers immeasurable freedom, while threatening a life of unanswered wanting. It was here the sentiment behind his work was forged.
Storytelling has always been a fixture in his writing, and Bartels continues to evolve his narratives by digging deeper beneath the surface and clinging to an authentic message. He captures a moment and fleshes it out to its barest, rawest form, thereby creating a piece of art that—regardless of genre or setting—moves the listener. Bartels’s most current work embodies this action and directly reflects his mission to convey truthful narratives.
During a time when we’re all looking for something to believe in, Bartels is preaching a much-needed gospel: live a life that doesn’t shy away from difficulty, but rather uses every aspect of the journey, its joys, and sorrows, to grow into the best version of ourselves.

Lyrics:
Mother, may I open my eyes?
There's a great, big world waiting right outside
Mother, may I raise my voice?
Do "We the People" have that choice?
Mother, may I rest my head
Though I did not try my best?
Mother, may I sip the wine
Though I did not tend the vine?
Oh, Death, you can come for me
Oh, Death, but you can't comfort me
Devil, I do have your name
Stuck in my ear and I'm to blame
And though I beg you, let me be
Devil, you ignore my plea
The crown of lies I wear in shame
What I would give to try again
Oh, Death, you can come for me
Oh, Death, but you can't comfort me
Well, Jesus, may I have your grace?
Jesus, though I hide my face
And will you cast my doubts away?
Take my sins down to the grave
If there is hope then let me see
There is life for those like me
Oh, Death, you can come for me
Oh, Death, but you can't comfort me
Oh, death, I will conquer thee
(written by Evan Bartels)
