Noel Evans

Noel is an Australian singer-songwriter based in New Zealand. He began playing guitar in school bands, studying with and then teaching for Alfred Alexander, one of Australia’s most celebrated virtuoso classical guitarists. He studied opera singing at Sydney Conservatorium of Music, under legendary Dame Dorothy Helmrich, passing up the lead role in the Conservatorium’s “Don Giovanni” to sing in the original Australian production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s smash hit “Jesus Christ Superstar,” in both Sydney and Melbourne Seasons. Noel has since played in numerous rock bands, co-owned a Vintage American Guitar store and rubbed shoulders with some of Australia’s most iconic musicians, including members of AC/DC, INXS and Midnight Oil, and other high-profile international acts. Noel released “Blue Water Mine” in 1999 featuring original songs and supported by excellent musicians, including ex-AC/DC bassist Mark Evans. Since then, he enjoyed a successful executive business career mixed with patches of songwriting and performing on the Sydney music scene, and a couple of USA gigs. Now, he is finally back doing what he loves best: writing, recording and performing original music. Noel released “Abandoned Love” in 2024, playing all parts other than drums by Regan John McKinnon, followed by “Aztec Moon” and “Aztec Moon Acoustic Sessions” in 2025. Now in 2026 the “acclaimed” album “Out of the North.” Enjoy ……..
