INO Records’ singer/songwriter Anthony Evans Jr. has not stopped since his debut project, Even More, released last summer. With tremendous media coverage, constant touring and radio airplay, Evans is continuing to make his mark into 2005.

This past year, Evans garnered cover stories in Today’s Christian and Christian Single magazines as well as being featured in Billboard, Christian Music Planet, CCM, Charisma, CBA Marketplace and upcoming issues of YouthWalk and New Man. Here is what people are saying about Anthony Evans, Jr.:

  • “This is not one of those CD’s a person buys for just one or two standout songs. It’s the sort of release that can be played from start to finish, simply because Evans’ makes it so pleasant to listen to.”

  • “Evans’ lyrics will touch your heart and his voice will soothe your spirit.”

  • “True to its title, Even More, exceeds the expectation building around this singularly gifted newcomer.”

  • “Even More possesses warmth and personality that should serve Evans well on future releases – and he has a future indeed.”

Along with numerous one-off dates with his father, Dr. Tony Evans or with Kirk Franklin, Evans is set to join FFH for their spring tour, which starts in Bellevue, Nebraska Feb. 3rd. The tour will be in venues such as Greenville, Louisville, Charlotte and Atlanta.

He is also scheduled to perform at the Tsunami Relief Show, a Nashville event, on February 9th. After the recent Tsunami disaster in Southeast Asia, numerous Christian recording artists announced plans to perform at this special benefit concert to be held at Rocketown in downtown Nashville. Evans is proud to participate in the event and join other artists, such as Avalon and Rachael Lampa. All proceeds from the event will go to Operation Blessing.

Evans’ just completed taping two sessions for the successful student Bible study from Lifeway called Fuel: Igniting New Life with God’s Story. Especially created for today's teens, Fuel: Igniting New Life with God’s Story includes videos and music from today's popular Christian artists, all used to draw students into the essential stories of the Bible using today’s technology.

Evans’ next radio single is “Fearless,” and will be released to radio in early February. “Restore Me” is the next single that will release to INSPO radop. His first single, “Here's My Life,” went top 10 on AC radio.

There is definitely more to look forward to in 2005 from this amazing singer/songwriter. In between his touring commitments, Evans is currently writing for his sophomore release to hit later this year.
