Eventually, the singing Evans sisters formed Leather and Lace traveling the country, playing in clubs and hotels
from Maine to Key West, Houston to Minneapolis, etc. They eventually landed steady gigs in Atlantic City,
working the Taj Mahal, Harrah’s and Bally’s over a three-year period. During that time, the girls backed up Bob
Baldwin at the CD101.9 World Trade Center summer series, recorded with Writer/Producer, Porter Carroll, and
had many other wonderful experiences.
In 1989 she had a chance encounter with Kevin Hughes, coming in to feature with his band, Breakaway, to sing
a first dance at a friend’s wedding. This led to her joining the band in 1991. Kevin and Carol eventually married in
1996.
