Hailing from Calgary, Alberta, The Evergreen Standard is comprised of 4 friends playing music together for the sake of creating something fun, exciting, and refreshing. The members of The Evergreen Standard grew up all over Canada from the West to East coast, yet quickly recognized that they all had very similar upbringings and musical influences. Two of the members are educators by trade and feel that it is important to share Canadian history through music and lyrics. The resulting product is a style of music that has a very Canadian vibe. Originally formed in 2014, The Evergreen Standard started as an indie-style rock band, playing regularly in Calgary and southern Alberta. Recently, The Evergreen Standard has honed their craft into a catchy, poppy, yet aggressive alternative punk sound with elements of 1990’s emo. The February 2018 release of their 5 song EP, Shelterwood Cut, illustrates this dynamic perfectly.
