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:
If I’m being honest
I’m gonna lie to you
When you ask me how I’m doing
I’ll use all the words we both know
You want me too

If I’m being honest
I’ve been thinking about the day
Where I don’t feel anything at all
And I don’t fear anything at all

I’m gonna go
Gonna load my shotgun
Point that barrel right where it hurts.
Ain’t no telling what comes after
Might not be better but it can’t get worse.

I cried out
In silent desperation
I cried out
I called your name
My god, my god
Why have you forsaken me
I cried out
But my words have now abandoned me.

I’m gonna go
Gonna load my shotgun
Point that barrel right where it hurts.
Ain’t no telling what comes after
Might not be better but it can’t get worse.

I could tell you but you can’t imagine
That first breath after nothing happens
You ain’t cried like that since you come out your mother
Hearing that click and thanking god for
Bad primers with good timing

I’m gonna go
Gonna load my shotgun
(written by Evan Bartels)
