Evansville Arts Coalition, in conjunction with Railroad and 2nd Event Center, is so pleased to introduce Layton Howerton to this area. You may have recently heard him on KXRA Radio’s Open Line program talking about his life and career and eagerness to perform in West Central Minnesota. Brandon-Evansville’s own Jeff Anderson has this to say about Layton, “one of my favorite musicians and my Montana friend, Layton Howerton, released his full length album, “A Mystery”. Just a wonderful collection of songs that are a gift to listen to... timeless Americana music about faith and life-it doesn't get much better than that... find it wherever you buy or stream your music!!”
Maya will open the show
Guitarist and singer Maya Holmgren from the Twin Cities will open the show
She has been playing guitar for 2 years and has recently begun performing publicly. She plays the songs that she loves and a few that everyone likes to sing along to as well! She is a country music fan but has recently started branching out to other genres including artists like Billy Joel, Elvis, and The Beatles. Her song set includes songs by The Chicks, Taylor Swift, Chris Stapleton, Megan Moroney, Miranda Lambert and more.
Her goal is to someday write her own songs, but for now she is happy to play covers and master her craft while sharing her music by playing for others.
She has local ties
Maya is the daughter of former Evansville graduates Molly (Week) and Kyle Holmgren. She is the granddaughter of Carol Week, Donny Week and Becky Gilbert, all with ties to Evansville. Maya is currently a freshman at the Maranatha Christian Academy in Brooklyn Park
