(June 13, 2008 – Nashville, TN) — Anthony Evans released his third studio project, THE BRIDGE, earlier this week on June 10th. Produced by Evans and Nathan Nockels and the first time to partner with EMI Gospel, THE BRIDGE continues to showcase that Anthony Evans is certainly like no other. His unique soulful voice is well-displayed in this worship-based project, encompassing well-known worship songs (“Here I Am To Worship,” “Blessed Be Your Name,”), with his own penned tunes (“The Way You Love Me,” “Meaningless”). The first radio single, “Glory To The King,” has been impacting CCM and Gospel radio since April.
THE BRIDGE, following his first two projects, Even More (2004) and Letting Go (2005), was birthed from Evans’ struggle between the crossroads in his spiritual life. “This record came out of pain,” he explains. “When I got to the end of myself and surrendered to the concept of what I was created to do, I realized I wasn’t made to figure it all out. I wasn’t put here to see the big picture clearly, or to glimpse what is ahead. I was created to worship.”
Averaging 100 dates each year, primarily at churches, Evans is continuing to tour across the country promoting THE BRIDGE. Upcoming tour stops include: Amarillo, TX (6/14), San Angelo, TX (6/15), Upper Marlboro, MD (6/22), Jackson, TN (6/26), KLTY’s Celebrate Freedom in Frisco, TX (6/28), North Port, FL (7/5), Durham, NC (7/9), Aliso Viejo, CA (9/12-13), and many more throughout the summer and fall.
In addition to his numerous live performances, Evans is confirmed to appear in the coming weeks on such popular programs as FamilyNet’s “Every Day With Marcus & Lisa,” Life Outreach International’s “Life Today,” and Gospel Music Channel’s “The Kitchen Sink.”
What Does The Media Say About THE BRIDGE?:
“Evans offers…enjoyably soulful versions of contemporary worship standards, as well as a couple of meaningful ballads about why we worship…he admittedly does it well.”
