Join Nancy J. Reid and Lisa D. Smith, the mother-daughter travel team and publishers of Big Blend Magazines, for Big Blend Radio with Evan Wardell, a musician, producer, and audio engineer based in San Francisco.

Hear about his new debut solo album “In Like a Lion / Out Like a Light,” a hook-laden indie rock masterpiece that illustrates the pain of addiction, heartbreak, and the all too common struggle just to get out of bed in the morning. Written, performed, produced, recorded, and mixed entirely by Evan, the album represents at least seven years of songwriting and recording, and as a result offers a chronicle of how he has changed over that time as a person, as a songwriter, and even as an audio engineer.
