The Evangenitals are a thoroughly eclectic band founded by playwright and director Juli Crockett, along with jazz and gospel vocalist Lisa Dee. They make music that has been described as ranging from truck-stop lullabies to Klezmer-punk-jazz, ballads & barn-burners to hillbilly stomp. On their new album, Moby Dick: Or, the Album, they’ve brought Herman Melville’s classic novel into the musical realm. The Evangenitals came in to the KLCC studios in trio form, including Juli Crockett (guitar/vocals), Joey Maramba (bass/vocals) and Danny Graziani (violin/vocals), before performing at the Axe and Fiddle in Cottage Grove on Thursday, May 21st and as the Crockett Family Band at Worthy Brewing in Bend on Sunday, May 24th.
