A one-man-band with all-original material, writing, composing and performing since 2005.
My name is Evan Schafer. I am an independent (or "indie") musician with a strong grounding in traditional composition, but I like to think my material always has a unique and individual flair. I guarantee not being bored out of your gourd when turning on one of the records. I produce, mix, and engineer everything myself, and have done so since late 2005.

Lyrics
Consecrated, inundated with papers You took the train at 12 AM and you don’t know what your name is On the roof you said “I don’t want to be with you anymore” I took my time, I thought “Good lord, honey, you don’t know me like you should” You’re late for afternoon tea With the captain of two ships gone out to sea A considerable amount of overwashed and bashful incantations Spread it out so thinly it cannot breathe Levitating, it’s overrated Come perish in my presence Wait for me when you get over the hill And meet me on the roof Just meet me up on the roof You flirt with other men, it hurts, but I’ll get over it Catcher in the rye, stale bread, it spreads so thinly you cannot breathe Another day, another novel, another waking moment that you’re not there Not even the sisters of the callous vertebrae stir up the kind of sh** that you do Cover me with everything that you see, it’s doubtful you’ll be The man I want you to be On the roof, on the roof.
