Will Evans returns to the Garde Arts Center Friday for a show in the intimate confines of their Oasis Room.

An artist of summery melodies and quantifiable good vibes, Evans is sort of like the performer equivalent of those charging stations for hybrid cars. Plug yourself in to an evening of Evans's charismatic persona and music, and you won't need to re-up your energy for days.

Now, it's true the show is sold out, but that's all the proof you'll need to get tickets to his next show,

Will Evans, 8 p.m. Friday, Oasis Room, Garde Arts Center, 325 State St., New London; sold out; www.gardearts.org, (860) 444-7373.
