GAVIN HADES Talks About THE GAVIN EVICK BAND: “We Want to Bring Back the Feeling of 80's"

The Gavin Evick Band has been riding high on critical acclaim following the recent release of their highly-anticipated new single, "Young, Wild & Free." Debuting on June 20th, the song has already made a significant radio impact, capturing the attention of music fans with its driving anthemic rock. Frontman and songwriter Gavin Evick has crafted a song that celebrates the carefree spirit of youth, with lyrics that speak to the universal desire to embrace life's adventures and live in the moment while guitarist Gavin Hades propels the song with his shimmering guitar work and fretboard wizardry. Together, they make "Young, Wild & Free" a contender for rock song of the summer. The success of the new single has only further cemented the Gavin Evick Band's reputation as one of the most exciting young acts in the contemporary rock landscape, with critics praising the group's ability to blend classic rock influences with a fresh modern twist. As the band continues to bask in the glow of this latest triumph, fans eagerly await more music as they continue performing live across the country. Correspondent Robert Cavuoto spoke with guitarist Gavin Hades about his musical foundation, how his father's gift of a guitar inspired him to perform with Bret Michaels at 14 years old, what it was like to hear his song on the radio for the first time, and what fans can expect in terms of new music.

GAVIN HADES: THE STORY

Gavin Hades is not just a guitarist; he's a musical powerhouse electrifying the scene nationwide with his blazing guitar solos and magnetic stage presence. Playing in three distinct bands, each a testament to his versatile talent, Gavin's name is becoming synonymous with rock and roll excellence.

 

A Journey from Ukulele to Guitar Mastery

Gavin's musical journey began at age 11 when his father (also an accomplished guitarist) suggested he learn a song on the ukulele as a Christmas gift for his mom. He quickly mastered the instrument and soon transitioned to the guitar, where his true passion lay. Today, Gavin dedicates five to six hours daily to honing his craft, a commitment that continues to set him apart.

 

Influences and Milestones

Drawing inspiration from legends like Eddie Van Halen, CC Deville, Satchel from Steel Panther, Jason Becker, and Jimmy Page, Gavin has crafted a unique style that's all his own. His impressive resume includes performances at RokIsland Fest 2024 in Key West, Florida, jamming with glam metal icons Steel Panther, and sharing the stage with Bret Michaels at OC Bikefest and the Thunder Beach Motorcycle Rally in 2021.
