Evan Dando was born on March 4, 1967, in Essex, Massachusetts, USA.  His mother’s name is Susan Dando he was a former fashion model. His father’s name is Jeffrey Dando he worked as a real estate attorney.

When he was ten years old, his family moved to the North Shore of Boston. Dando’s parents got a divorce when he was 12.

Education

Evan Dando: Early, Profession Life and Career

Evan Dando has a good career. In 1986 he founded the Whelps together with his classmates Ben Deily (on drums) and Jesse Peretz (on bass). Together they play punk rock pieces and in 1987 they changed their name to Lemonheads. Their first recording is titled Laughing All the Way to the Cleaners.

Engaged by the local label Taang !, the Lemonheads publish the albums Hate Your Friends, Creator and Lick. Dando and Deily shared the songwriting and also the role of the singer until 1989 when the latter left the band after a European tour to support the album Lick. He appeared in the 1995 film Heavy with actress Liv Tyler.

Evan Dando, therefore, engaged the drummer David Ryan, with whom he produced, 1990, the album Lovey, which sold just 30,000 copies. Dando decides to change the negative situation by flying to Australia, to write some songs with his friends Nic Dalton and Tom Morgan.

These pieces form the basis of It’s a Shame About Ray, the acclaimed album that led the Lemonheads to success. The band’s success coincides with an approach to softer mainstream sounds, putting aside the punk influences of the first phase of the Lemonheads career.

The social code that has been the link for over ten years is dissolving in 1996 (after the “Car Button Cloth” album). It allows Dando to kick off a very desirable and sparse career soloist. His real debut came in 2000, when, free from drug problems like heroin, above all and that tormented him for the entire previous decade, he toured the United States with an acoustic guitar and a bag of covers.

This tour is featured on the “Live at the Brattle Theater / Griffith Sunset” album (2001). In the same period, Dando joins James Iha (guitarist founder of The Smashing Pumpkins and member of A Perfect Circle) and Melissa Auf Der Maur (ex-Hole, ex-Smashing Pumpkins, author of a solo record in 2004) in The project Virgins, whose recordings are not reported.

The first real record of songs came in 2003. “Baby I’m Bore was written in collaboration with an Australian singer named Ben Lee and with guests like Giant Sand, is an acoustic pop record where Evan Dando, seems to give his all his fears and troubles, exorcising his past drug experience and thus appearing hopeful towards the future (the song All My Life is emblematic).

In 2005 Dando was again back to Lemonheads performing together with Karl Alvarez and Bill Stevenson. They work out to produce the rhythm section of the Descendents. He also goes on a world tour for his new album That Sees the Light in 2006. In 2015, Dando had his solo shows in the United States and Europe.
