Biography

Frank Evans
Real name: Vernon Dalhart
One of the many pseudonyms of Vernon Dalhart on records issued on Challenge, Jewel, Oriole and related Plaza Music Company-associated labels.In mid-1928, Dalhart signed a short-term exclusive contract with Columbia. At that time, Frank Luther began using this pseudonym, usually with guitar accompaniment by Carson Robison. Luther is thought to have continued using this alias through the latter part of the 1920s. Since this alias was used by at least two extremely prolific recording artists in the 1920s-30s, efforts should be made to identify the correct artist performing on each release. Instances where the pseudonym "Frank Evans" can be traced to Frank Luther should be referred to Frank Evans.
