Bob Evans

Bob Evans last performed in Adelaide at the Beer & BBQ Festival just a few months ago.

Versatility is Kevin Mitchell's biggest strength and with over 21 years in the industry he has learnt to express that in many different ways. One of the biggest comes from his solo project which he created the pseudonym Bob Evans to perform under.

It wasn’t just the songs of the past decade or so that impressed us, it was also the sudden realisation of the subtle influences that shaped these tunes.

I was 15 at the time so I’m sure you could imagine the excitement I was feeling and Bob’s set was basically my first insight into this lively and bustling environment that we call a music festival.

Kicking off the nights musical festivities was Sydney’s Tigertown stripping back there usual dream-pop quintet and narrowing it down to a simplistic duet between husband and wife Chris and Charlie Collins.

Playing a set chock full of stadium sized choruses, You Am I's guitarist at times looked like a man supporting Mumford & Sons at Wembley Arena, which made the set a little out of place at the smaller OAF.

I hadn’t been to the Rosemount in ages, since before their refurb, and as we ate our meal and watched the line for the gig with interest, we were a little surprised to see the older crowd ready for the gig, with the bar area full of early 20-somethings.
