Evelyn Evelyn são um duo musical formado por Amanda Palmer (de The Dresden Dolls) e Jason Webley. De acordo com o backstory ficcional descrito por Palmer e Webley, o duo é composto por duas irmãs gêmeas siamesas (conhecidas como "Eva" e "Lyn") Evelyn Evelyn Neville, que foram descobertas em 2007 por Palmer e Webley. As gêmeas são retratadas por Palmer e Webley.
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
Notes: The bass for most of the chords is doing an "Oompah" kind of rhythm of quarter notes alternating between the root and fifth of the chord. For example on the F chord, the bass is playing F,C,F,C and for the C chord, it plays C,G,C,G, etc. I'm going to write those out as F and F/C, C and C/G, etc. The easiest way to play that is to play the all the chords as barre chords and move your first finger to get the changing bass notes. There's a lot of little bass runs between chords too, but they're easy. You can figure them out on your own, just use your ears.
