Bob Evans is the solo alias of Kevin Mitchell, and in 2006 it gave him his biggest success away from his main band: Suburban Songbook, which reached No. 15 on the ARIA Albums Chart. "Nowhere Without You" and "Don't You Think It's Time" were its countdown entries, gentle folk-pop tunes with an ache in them, as unhurried as a Sunday afternoon.
Mitchell is better known as the founding singer and rhythm guitarist of Perth alt-rockers Jebediah, formed in 1994 with his older brother Brett on drums. He started playing as Bob Evans in 1999, picking the name on purpose to keep the two worlds apart, and the project became home for the quieter, more inward-looking songs that didn't fit the band.
Goodnight, Bull Creek! in 2009 and Familiar Stranger in 2013 both made the top 40, and Car Boot Sale and Tomorrowland followed in 2016 and 2021; by October 2023 he had seven solo albums to his name. He launched the Good Evans, It's A Bobcast! podcast in May 2016.
