His second album, I'll Bring The Stereo, was co-produced by Barenaked Ladies bassist Jim Creeggan, and his brother, former Barenaked Ladies keyboardist Andy Creeggan. Both play on the album, along with a host of notable Canadian musicians; Tyler Stewart and Kevin Hearn, also of Barenaked Ladies, Kurt Swinghammer, Dave Matheson, Gary Breit, and Ian McLauchlan, among others.

His subsequent albums and EP have featured production from the acclaimed Don Kerr, Brad Jones, and Howie Beck. Evin also co-produced his third album, Good Watermelon with recording engineer Paul Forgues.

Evin has performed live both solo, and with numerous combinations of backing musicians. In the mid-to-late-2000s, Evin toured with his own piano – a small 64-key upright he named "Beatrice".[4]
