EVAN WICKHAM

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!

Talk to you soon,
