Press Release • Oct 26, 2014

Iconic band Erasure will perform live at The Palms in Las Vegas, with special guest star crooner Brian Evans. Evans CD has been released in Korea through Warner Brothers Music, has a novel "Horrorscope" headed for all media, and releases "Creature."

Los Angeles, October 26, 2014 (Newswire.com) - Few singers have the wide net that Brian Evans has begun to cultivate.

Brian Evans will re-enter Las Vegas in style when he opens for legendary band "Erasure" on Halloween at The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. His fictional novel, "Horrorscope," is currently being discussed around Hollywood as a film/TV deal are imminent, has recently released the single "Creature," now on iTunes, and the hit NetFlix show "BoJack Horseman" is currently using his song "At Fenway," on the new international hit.

Evans will film his music video "Creature" at the Psycho house located on the lot of Universal Studios, the first music video ever filmed at the famed location by any singer. His CD, "At Fenway," produced by Grammy Award winning producer Narada Michael Walden (Whitney Houston, George Michael), was released last week in Korea through Warner Brothers Music. Other countries are soon to follow. The title track about Evans love for his favorite ballpark is sparking a lot of interest given baseball's popularity in that country, where baseball is year round.

Evans had not performed in two years following the passing of his mother, Helen Marie Bousquet, unexpectedly. Comedian Carrot Top got Evans back up on stage in July of this year to sing a few songs to help the singer get back on his feet.

"I'm honored that The Palms and Erasure are giving me the thrill of opening on Halloween. Andy Bell has always been a true inspiration, and half of one of my favorite bands. To also have finished "Horrorscope," and see "At Fenway" finally blossom is very exciting," says Evans.

"Horrorscope" is a novel Evans wrote that is now available in hardcover and on kindle worldwide. It is a fictional story about a psychic who is forced by the mafia to provide predictions for them about their forthcoming crimes. When she is eventually murdered by the mob, it causes a physical manifestation of the signs of the Zodiac, who then seek revenge for her death...one mobster at a time.

Evans credits Carrot Top for helping him "get back up", as well as Andy Bell.

"I really appreciate that Carrot Top allowed me the opportunity to get up on stage again, and Andy Bell for noticing when I did," says Evans. "They are both class acts all the way."

Following the concert, Evans will focus on "Horrorscope II," the sequel to his first novel. The book has received rave reviews since being released, with five star reviews from The San Francisco Book Review and The Portland Book Review. He will also open for other arena acts in Las Vegas, one in Boston, and several in Los Angeles before heading to Asia to promote the "At Fenway" CD, which includes 13 songs and a DVD of Evans and William Shatner's music video for the title track.

That video has surpassed 11.8 million views on YouTube, featuring Shatner as the home plate umpire. His YouTube channel has reached almost 30 Million Views. In addition, his music has been heard on "So You Think You Can Dance," "Big Shots," "Drop Dead Diva," and numerous other network television shows.

"Las Vegas is the place to be on Halloween, and The Palms is without doubt the coolest casino to have this great concert happen on such a night," says Evans. "How can anyone not want to be at an Erasure concert on Halloween in the coolest city in America?"
