Evan Handyside is a minimalist fingerstyle guitarist and composer from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He crafts contemplative, cinematic guitar pieces that fuse sparse fingerstyle technique with ambient soundscapes and subtle reverb.
As bassist for the alt-rock band New Invisible Joy, he has opened for national artists including John Mayer, The Killers, and Nirvana’s Krist Novoselic. He also composes music for short films and has taught guitar privately for 30 years.
