Life and career
The Lowensteins grew up in Tucker, Georgia. Their parents are Leslie and Charles Lowenstein. The duo were raised in an Orthodox Jewish family, and attended Greenfield Hebrew Academy and Yeshiva High School. Through their mother, they are related to actor Logan Lerman. They began performing in the folk-pop genre in coffee houses in their hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. In 1994, their live album, Live at KaLo's Coffee House, was released, and drew some attention. After touring for a year, in 1996 they released a second independent album, Not from Concentrate and performed at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. While touring they were noticed by Jimmy Buffett, who signed them to Island Records, the label on which they released We've Never Heard Of You, Either in 1998. They have toured with an array of artists, including Sting, Heart, The Dixie Chicks and Maroon 5. In 2000, the duo released Evan and Jaron for Columbia Records. The album included hit singles "Crazy for This Girl", "From My Head to My Heart", and "The Distance". At the height of their success, Evan started a family and the touring ceased. Their most recent album, Half Dozen, offered more of an Americana/country sound and included six songs as well as three additional bonus tracks. In March 2006, the pair appeared on ABC's reality TV show, American Inventor, showcasing their Pit Port, a container for discarded seeds and pits in various fruits and nuts. That year they also appeared in a series of TV shorts for the USA Network, entitled "USA Character Roadtrip", where they interviewed actors on USA shows. They currently split time between Los Angeles and Nashville. In 2013, they played their hit "Crazy for This Girl" together, in Nashville.
