#ETS #EvokeTheSpeechless

Based in New Orleans, LA, Evoke the Speechless is a melodic heavy metal/hard rock band with influences drawn from Godsmack, Deftones, Avenged Sevenfold, Led Zeppelin, System of a Down, Black Sabbath, and Tool.  Evoke the Speechless's style includes melodic guitar work and mellifluous verse interspersed with guitar and drum oriented heavy sound and aggressive vocals.  From melody-based songs such as “Shadows,” drawn from the guitar-driven forces of the late 70s and 80s, to riff-based aggression brought forth from early 2000s metalcore in songs like “Cognitive Dissonance,” Evoke the Speechless will take you on a trip through the decades, bringing you a unique experience of original music that will make you want to stand at the edge of the stage and scream or start a mosh pit with your fellow metal enthusiasts.

Other notable influences include: KoRn, PanterA, AVATAR, GOJIRA, Bullet For My Valentine, Devin Townsend, Mellowdrone, Slipknot, RATM, Highly Suspect, Vision of Disorder, & Lamb of God.

Dustin Dale Gaspard- Grammy Considered Singer Songwriter/ Americana Roots Artist
After 10 years of performing throughout the deep South, Gaspard released his full length debut album "Hoping Heaven Got A Kitchen" in March 2022. The decade that he spent honing his songwriting helped create an album that speaks to the soul of rural roots listeners and alternative folk lovers alike, all while delivering an intimate insight into the Cajun native's groove felt mysticism. Written for his grandparents, his record displays undeniable heart, love, community and the sonic influence of the land that raised him.
