Evan Lowenstein left a letter to fans on the Evan & Jaron official site trying to explain why they’ve been away so long and taking a shot at their pop peers at the same time. Evan wrote, “Although we’re not on tour, or on every channel you turn on, we’re still working mighty hard behind the scenes to continue to bring you the highest quality of e and j possible. Unlike a large percentage of other groups out there today, we need to WRITE our own material… which, needless to say, takes some time.”

Launch.com talked with Jaron Lowenstein of Evan & Jarron who described Hanukkah as his favorite holiday. He celebrated last year describing, “I’ll tell ya, last year we were on the Tonight Show(with) Jay Leno… It was really cool. We had, like, 35 people in that room because we travel with a huge posse and our boys have all got to be there. So, we did that and it was great.”

Launch.com talked with Evan & Jaron’s Jaron Lowenstein about his Thanksgiving plans where he joked that he’ll be at a soup kitchen not to help people out but, “Family’s gone, I got no one here, and I think I’m just gonna head down there for a quick bite.” Jaron said, “Not to be cliche but I guess this Thanksgiving I’m proud to be an American. Any time you go through a hard time people seem to come together and it seems the country’s finding its collective heart. And I’m proud.”
