Reno-based indie alternative band Evening Spirits released their latest EP, Letters to Marie, this November, marking an exciting new chapter in their musical journey. The band, known for their engaging sound and dynamic performances, recorded the EP at Abbey West Recording.

The band’s collaboration with Jerry Spikula, the talented engineer behind Abbey West Recording, was central to the project. With years of experience in recording and producing bands, Jerry is known for his ability to capture the essence of live performance and translate it into polished studio recordings. His work with Evening Spirits began when they recorded their singles “Graffiti” and “Josephine” at AWR, laying the groundwork for what would become a productive and inspiring partnership.

Letters to Marie was crafted with the same meticulous attention to detail, as Jerry and the band worked closely to shape the sound of the EP. Jerry’s expertise in balancing instruments, refining vocals, and maintaining the raw energy of a band playing together allowed Evening Spirits to fully realize their vision. 

Evening Spirits, consisting of Wyatt Bonham (drums), Jonathan Grube (lead vocals/rhythm guitar), Jude Lopez (bass guitar/vocals), and Jacob Manayan (lead guitar/vocals), has been a staple in the Reno music scene since 2020. Fans of the band can expect Letters to Marie to showcase the signature sound that has become synonymous with Evening Spirits—catchy melodies, heartfelt lyrics, and a sense of authenticity that reflects their indie roots. With Jerry Spikula’s touch, the EP will also have a polished yet organic feel, preserving the live energy the band brings to every performance.
