Evan Laedke

Pro Keyboardist, Creator, & Music Educator

Evan Laedke began his musical journey at the age of 14 with Hammond B3 organ lessons taught by Buffalo blues legend Jim Wozniak. One year later, he was playing keys with the legendary Willie May Band (a Buffalo Music Hall of Fame recipient), and continues to play with them today. While in high school, Evan founded the band 4in Tune, which opened for national acts and participated in the 2011 International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tennessee.

Evan has performed with many Buffalo musicians through the years, including Forever Young, Little Mountain Band, Dead Alliance Buffalo, Tim Britt Band, Tsavo Highway, Diyene, and a national tour with Miller & The Other Sinners. Evan was also a founding member of the band Electric Church, as well as New Sensation: Tribute to INXS. He writes and performs original material, which has also been covered and recorded by other artists.

Evan continues to evolve, adding videos, production, editing, and writing to his artistry, and relishes the opportunity to perform with talented musicians in the Buffalo area, always expanding his ongoing musical experiences.
