LOS ANGELES, April 29, 2022 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Brian Evans, the crooner known for his performances in Las Vegas, and for 
opening for the likes of Joan Rivers, Jay Leno, Social Distortion, Erasure, and 
numerous others, has seen his song "I'm A Traveler" shoot to #3 on the most

"We are shocked, frankly. Brian recorded this song 9 years ago, produced by 
Narada Michael Walden, and he never sent it to radio," says Jesse Stenger of 
ESW Management.

Narada Michael Walden, the Grammy winning producer of Whitney Houston, Aretha 
Franklin, George Michael, and number others, produced the track.

"Brian is following the steps of the greats, Sinatra, Tom Jones, and numerous 
others," said Walden in a video posted on YouTube.

Evans has received more than 500 million streams of his version of "New York, 
New York," on TikTok. Over 13,000 users have utilized his song for the track.

"This just proves that success is not based on your age. Everyone who knows 
Brian knows he's been doing this for years, and the fact that he decided to 
finally allow us to distribute his original song, "I'm A Traveler" doesn't 
surprise us as to its success," said Stenger.

Evans mother died a week after he completed his album following knee surgery. 
Evans never released any of the material he recorded with Walden except the 
hit, "At Fenway," which features William Shatner and has surpassed 10 million 
views on YouTube in a coinciding music video on YouTube.

"We are grateful," says Walden, who produced the best-selling soundtrack of all 
time, "The Bodyguard," for Whitney Houston, alongside legendary producer David 
Foster.

"Brian is the #3 most downloaded singer in Adult Contemporary music through 
PlayMPE, the leader in distribution of song to radio stations across the 
world," says Stenger.

Evans also released "Blue Bayou," also produced by Walden, this past week.

"There are 11 tracks off of this album that Brian just would not let us 
release. Now we finally can, and the first single debuted at #3. No one does 
what he does better."
