EVAN WICKHAM

"Evan Wickham has created one of the best worship albums I have heard in years. He truly has a gift for leading people to the throne." - Bart Millard, lead singer for MercyMe Worship leader. Artist. Seldom have the two labels blended as seamlessly as in the music and message of multi-instrumentalist singer/songwriter EVAN WICKHAM. His debut album, Mysterious Things, released in 2006, is a tour-de-force collection of intimate worship, heartfelt expressions of joy and wonder at God's blessing, and a celebration of the redemptive power of salvation in Jesus Christ. "Keeper of the stars, Lord of time and space," Wickham sings on the album's gorgeous centerpiece, "Hallelujah Jesus." "I will live my life lifting up your name." These lines are clearly the heart of Wickham's music and ministry. In November 2009, Evan released his long-awaited follow-up CD, Above The Sky, a 12-track collection that expands on the mission of his debut to equip the church with songs to sing loudly to the Savior. Songs like "Now Unto The One," "King Forever," and especially "Our Deliverer" all accomplish this goal in fresh and vital ways. He and his wife, Sandy, reside in the town of Vista, amidst the sun-drenched hills adjacent to the surf community of Oceanside in North San Diego county, Calif. Evan and Sandy lead worship with the kind of closely intertwined vocal harmony that can only come through years of experience together with Evan fronting the band from guitar and keyboards. A unique, one-of-a-kind musical talent that is highly recommended for guest worship, concerts, outreach, or special music. |
