Interview with EVIDENCE OF A STRUGGLE Is multi-instrumentalist REV. BILLY SIMMONS

Chicago-based EVIDENCE OF A STRUGGLE  consist of multi-instrumentalist REV. BILLY SIMMONS and an evolving group of artists and musicians that began in 2020 creating a lush, cinematic, beautiful and sometimes chaotic compositions. Rev Billy Simmons began working with renowned sound engineer Sanford Parker (Voivod, Russian Circles, Yob, Eyehategod, Wovenhand, Darkthrone, Youth Code, Pelican) who helped produce, record and master the final versions of the songs in his 13- track eponymous album which was released in June 2023. The album is complemented by a multi-chapter audio-visual storybook, created by Chicago artist John Air, who has been involved with the project since the outset- creating videos, album covers and accompanying visuals for live performances. With a backstory involving collaborations with RCA recording artist Ke and various artist on major labels like RCA, Touch and Go, BMG and Universal, it is no surprise that Evidence of a Struggle would evolve. In 2023 Matt Walker (of1000faces, Smashing Pumpkins, Morrissey, Garbage, Filter) joined the project, playing drums and helping with production with Matt's brother Solomon Walker (Morrissey, Bryan Adams, Eastern Shadows, Year of The Rabbit) and Alan Berliant (Chris Connelly, Mavis Staples, Saint Asonia ) also on bass. Rev Billy also owns Rev Billy's Chop Shop, also known as an inclusive, creative space, hosting new artists' work bimonthly and declared by Chicago Reader as the city's best gallery in 2019.   Be sure to see the video interview on My Tube Channel.
