Catcher Evo

Catcher Evo is the name of a new Swedish americana project. Behind the name you find singer, guitarist and songwriter Stefan Leoson.

The 1st release is the single ”Don’t You Ever Change” from the upcoming debut EP ”Charcoal”. It’s an upbeat, driving song that puts Leoson's love of ringing guitars on display. “It’s a song about young, fearless women that don’t fit the general 'mold'. Often society try to push them down, silence them. This is me encouraging them to be themselves, no matter what”, he says.

The project marks the 1st time Leoson has incorporated his love of the musical melting pot that can be summed up as americana; rootsy, storytelling and guitar based songs incorporating influences from both country, rock and folk music.

Catcher Evo’s music draws heavily from the American tradition, even if it’s not 'country'. It has real instruments, played by real people, topped with lyrics that bears a deeper meaning. It’s the real deal, whether its roots can be followed back to Jackson Browne, David Lindley, Ry Cooder, Jude Cole, or later influences like the Bros Landreth.

”The single has a bunch of old friends playing on it, my long time friend and musical sounding board Alo Karlsson, front man of the excellent country band A.K & The Brotherhood, is playing the bass”, Leoson recalls.

The debut EP, ”Charcoal”, is hitting stores and streaming services in January 2026.
