About

WHAT DOES EVYN BRING TO THE PARTY?... THE PARTY! Soulful, passionate and engaging, Evyn Charles delivers superb vocals and positive music with an extensive repertoire of cover songs and originals. His Soulful Beach Groove? style falls somewhere between Jack Johnson and Sublime while following in the footsteps of Van Morrison, Bob Marley and Bill Withers. Like those artists, he combines great party songs with heart-tugging numbers. Evyn is especially adept at evoking the sounds of his adopted home, Southern California, and regularly performs in beach towns. He also has a wonderful quieter side and can provide instrumental guitar music. Born in France, living and educated in the United States since his teens, Evyn Charles Schonbuch (he does not use his last name professionally) has toured the world with various groups, appeared in musical and theatrical productions, and been featured on major recording projects. Equally at home on a solo acoustic guitar, with a duo, trio or his band The NeverQuitters, he performs at venues ranging from neighborhood bars and country clubs to festivals, as well as parties, weddings and special events.

Amazing remote music performances

Evyn performed for my husband and I via Zoom for our stay-at-home date night, and it was so special. He knew exactly what songs we needed to hear during this unique time. It was so fun to chat with him in between songs, and I especially loved hearing his personally written songs too. Be sure to ask him to play his Tony at the Pier song!

Evyn is amazing! I threw a retirement party for my dad in my backyard and Evyn really set the tone for the entire party. He made the party that much more special and everyone who attended commented on how great he was. I could not have imagined that party without him! He is personable, professional, and SO talented! Will definitely look forward to either working with him again or seeing him at Tony's in Redondo Beach! Thank you a million times over, Evyn!!!

What can we say... Outstanding! Evyn was very professional, arrived early for set-up, and interacted well with ourselves and our guests. We had a Cowboy themed birthday party for our son. Evyn came in Western attire! He had a set list of classic and contemporary country songs. Of course he took requests and seamlessly inserted a wide range of songs: Credence to Neil Young, Garth Brooks to Neil Diamond! In five hours, he only took two breaks! He even acted as emcee, directing our guests to food and cake cutting and pony rides when appropriate. All of our guests had great things to say about his performance. He got so much applause, he made a joke about thinking he was only supposed to be the background music! We would highly recommend Evyn and would not hesitate in hiring him again. Thanks again Evyn for making our son's first birthday party extra special.

Evyn Charles is a very talented singer, guitarist, and songwriter! Dave & I were married at Wiens Family Cellars in Temecula on July 19th, 2014. While planning our wedding Evyn was available and excited to discuss song choices. Evyn made a special effort to learn several songs for us including our favorite song for our first dance, "All of Me" by John Legend. This was absolutely beautiful!Thank you! Evyn is very professional on all levels while at the same time he has a very friendly personality and is fun to be around. He instinctively knew which songs to play for the listening pleasure of our guests as well as songs that made people want to get up and dance. Thank you Evyn for the beautiful music and the memories that were made on this day.

I've seen Evyn play a number of times at Tony's on the Pier and have always enjoyed his music and the relaxed vibe that comes with it. I was recently planning a corporate event that needed live music, so Evyn was an ideal choice. He played at our evening outdoor reception for 100+ guests at the Hotel Maya. He did an exceptional job of entertaining the crowd with a wide mix of music and creating a relaxed atmosphere for all to enjoy. A good deal of the crowd stayed longer than scheduled and Evyn was happy to continue playing to keep the party going. Thank you, Evyn!

Evyn was so easy to work with. I just gave him an idea on the type of style I was interested and he did the rest. All of our guests after complimented how well he did and asked for his contact information for further events. He made our day very special and memorable. Would highly recommend !

Evyn Charles did an outstanding job at our wedding! We were very pleased with him and his service.

From the beginning when I asked Evyn to sing at our wedding and play his guitar he was very kind and helpful. He offered great advice and wedding prep guidance but left plenty of room for us to customize things the way we wanted.

We had a lot of things at our wedding that did not go according to plan from the photographer, videographer, to the wedding coordinator's services but one thing that went perfect was Evyn Charles. He delivered as promised.

I would absolutely recommend Evyn Charles. He is very talented and a lot of fun. Thank you Evyn!

I have worked with Evyn several times and I look forward to many more!
His music always puts me in a happy place and he always plays everyone's favorites. He learned the bride's favorite song for the ceremony march.

If your looking for a solo musician for any event, he's the perfect fit.

Evyn did a wonderful job, he played guitar for our ceremony and cocktail hour. He learned a few songs that we asked him to play for our ceremony, and he did a great job both adapting the songs and singing/performing them. The song he learned was a song that means the world to us, and it was amazing to have it sung and performed at our wedding...."I'll catch you," by the Get Up Kids. We were so happy with his performance on his guitar both during the ceremony and afterwards as he played music for the cocktail hour and has a large repertoire, great job Evyn and thanks again....
