Hey everyone! See the video? The time has come. You can now buy my brand new album “Above the Sky” in the new “STORE” section of my website. You can choose to have the physical CD shipped to you for $12.99, or you can choose the “download only” version for $9.99. In either case, you will receive the new CD next Tuesday, November 24th!
But here’s the kicker: when you purchase “Above the Sky”in either format, you will immediately receive FOUR FREE SONGS that are ONLY available through my store at www.evanwickham.com!! The FOUR FREE SONGS include acoustic versions of “Heavenlies” and “He’s Alive” -- which can be found on “Above the Sky” in their full glory. I also did an up-close and personal version of the old hymn “Be Still My Soul.” What a gorgeous and rich song! Always wanted to. Had to do it. Finally, I decided to release a love song that I wrote for my wife Sandy. It’s called “You Are Mine.” It’s a live-in-studio recording that I did with my producer Pete Kipley on bass and my friend Brandon Lozano on drums at Big Fish studios here in San Diego. It turned out pretty cool I think. Can’t wait for you to hear it!
So that’s the deal guys. Buy the 12 song record, get the 4 songs free. Just be sure to click the “My Account” link after you buy. You’ll see the “Evan Wickham Download Extras” in there. Yee haaaawww!
I love fall. I especially love November. The mornings are crispy cool. The leaves do that really cool color change thing everywhere else but Southern Cali. My wife and I celebrate our anniversary in November. Our middle son Jadon was born in November. We eat things like oyster casserole atop cranberry studded turkey and green beans amongst kindly kin while expressing our deepest gratitude to our Savior for all He has done for us. Not to mention Christmas is closer. As if these weren’t enough reasons to love November… there is a great big new reason. November 24th, that’s two days before Thanksgiving, my new CD “Above the Sky” will be available for purchase. My Producer Pete Kipley and I have been working on these 12 songs for over a year now. So you can imagine how ridiculously awesome it feels for me to make this announcement to you!
Soooo, to celebrate the upcoming release, I’ve put TWO of my new songs up on my myspace for your sneak previewing pleasure – “Our Deliverer” and “He’s Alive.” I would absolutely love for you to check them out! ”Our Deliverer” is a simple song of praise that exalts the Rescuer of humanity. ”He’s Alive” is a slight adaptation of the old hymn “I Know That My Redeemer Lives” by Samuel Medley and John Hatton hundreds of years ago. I took two stanzas from Samuel Medley’s timeless work and made them the verses of “He’s Alive”, then I wrote a brand new chorus that puts a big exclamation point on the main theme – we love and serve a Living God. Lift your eyes today everyone… Jesus is alive!
So glad you’re here. I’m really excited right now. A fully reworked website has been launched to accompany the release of my new album “Above the Sky.”
My hope for this website is simple – that each page would lead you to the music, and the music would lead you to Jesus. Here on my blog, I plan on posting regularly about things such as songwriting, theology, and the daily benefits of caffeine consumption. The Lord has been working so much in my life lately, and I can’t wait to share it with you. I’m very much looking forward to those conversations with you all.
One really cool thing I’d like to point out right now is the “songs” section of this site. When the new CD “Above the Sky” is released, all the song lyrics will be available there for your downloading pleasure. Most of them will have free lead sheets too. But here’s the coolest part – instructional videos. Right now you can click “songs” and find two videos that walk you through the songs “King Forever” and “Heavenlies.” Underneath each video you can download the lyrics and lead sheets for the songs in each lesson. I plan on adding to the “Instructional Video Series” over time. Hey, by the time you’ve read this post I may even have some more stuff up for you.
So go ahead and click around the new site. I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Want to be notified when the new album is available for pre-order? Just add your email and we’ll let you know when it’s ready. We may also have a few surprises for you as well!
