MEMBERS
Born in Calgary, AB, Josh Evans has been playing music for over 15 years. Before starting his journey on vocals, Evans was originally a rock and roll drummer and solely focused on drums. He started playing in his first band in Kelowna, BC, when he lived there from 2013-2023. The band he was in, Lucky Monkey, were a prominent band in the Western Canadian music scene where they toured the country and played countless festivals and high profile performances. Evans then moved back home to Calgary in 2023 where he decided to branch out and try something new, being lead vocalist of his own band. This led him to start Void Souls where he and longtime producer, Dan Harden (The Record Room Studio), wrote and tracked the first few songs the band put out. This helped Evans attract the players that would best fit the bands outlook, both musically and as a band of brothers, moving forward. While Evans now puts a lot of focus into Void Souls, he still manages to play drums with some other friends in his downtime.

Kyle Johnson is a born and raised Calgarian who always loved music, and began playing guitar at the age of 15, but really pursued it seriously at 17.
