Founder // Photographer


Evan Hoitink graduated school in 2017 with a BA in marketing. Born & raised in Columbus, Ohio, he works as an inside sales & inventory associate at a machine tool distribution company. His family of three is the most important thing in life.

His credentials in the music industry began while interning in the marketing department at PromoWest Productions (underneath of AEG Presents) in Columbus in 2018. During his time there, he had the privilege to work as the Instagram content curator and also amongst the media team at Bunbury Festival in Cincinnati, Ohio. He later was hired to join their production staff and worked plenty of gigs at A&R Music Bar and formally known as Express Live!, now Kemba Live!

Since departing from PromoWest, he’s worked alongside the Blue Ridge Rock Festival team in 2019 as an intern and social media curator, freelancer at WonderBus Festival, Prime Social Group’s Drive-In Concert Series during the pandemic and most recently, two consecutive years freelance at Upheaval Festival.

Despite just missing the cutoff to qualify as “elder emo”, Evan’s favorite genres of music are pop-punk & metalcore. His hobbies outside of music are watching football on the weekends, spending time with his friends & family and adding to his tattoo collection.

Photographer

Jillianne Bartholomew is a freelance photographer who specializes in Music, Portrait & Lifestyle photography. She earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Photo-Illustration when she graduated from Kent State University in 2016. Originally from Cleveland, OH, she spent majority of her life there. However, she longed for the PNW. So, in 2022, she traveled across the United States and landed in northern Idaho. Now, Jill resides in Spokane, WA. She does photography in the area, along with bartending and being a substitute para-educator.

Photographing music has always been a favorite for Jillianne, which she started to do back in 2012. Going to local shows while in college, having friends in bands, spending summers at Warped Tour (RIP) and even housing touring bands really set her music career in motion. Throughout her years of photographing locally, Jill worked her way up to photographing countless larger shows in Ohio, and even some festivals, from Summit Fest to Inkarceration. Not only does she photograph live shows, but Jillianne also works with artists to create promotional shots and album covers. She currently has a handful of album covers out on Spotify.

As for the woman behind the lens, Jillianne’s favorite music to listen to is alternative/metalcore/pop-punk. However, she listens to many other genres like country, lofi, soul, indie… She’s just very diverse. Living her best life in the mountains, Jillianne’s hobbies include reading, camping and off-roading on the weekends, snuggling her cat, drinking copious amounts of coffee, and creating lasting memories with her friends and family.
