The Esteemed Gentlemen are a power trio featuring Evan Flory-Barnes-bass guitar/vocals, Matt Clough-guitar and Joey Ziegler-drums. The band plays Flory-Barnes’ original songs with a poetic subtlety, immense depth, palpable joy and a fiery intensity expressing something that is both psychedelic and grounded, experimental yet danceable.  

Flory-Barnes' voice is as inspired by classic soul singers like Curtis Mayfield, Smokey Robinson and Marvin Gaye, as it is by experimental pop artists Björk and Radiohead, as it is by grunge era icons Chris Cornell, Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell. With lyrics touching on self-ownership, hard won self-love, personal sovereignty and the lessons gleaned from relationships with a mischievous humor and a philosopher’s heart. His bass playing while incredibly fluid and flexible is rooted in the all-encompassing groove.  

Matt Clough, is a singular guitarist, sonically inventive, supremely lyrical and harmonically creative. Clough is equally adept at expressing nuanced restraint and raw passion, crafting beautiful rhythm parts along with tastefully melodic solos that push the creative edge all while being deeply heartfelt.

Joey Ziegler, plays the drums with a soulful precision, sense of groove and feel paired with a sophistication that is equally playful and explorative. With great attention to detail, Ziegler extracts unique colors from the drum set, creating a sonic palette that is incredibly musical and entirely his own, all while doing it with infectious enthusiasm.
