Christine Evans has just released to Canadian radio, her great version of the seasonal hit, Mary Did You Know. Response is positive and it stands a good chance to chart at AC radio this December. It is also included on the Warner Music Christmas compilation. The track will be available digitally in Canada on November 29th on Puretracks and, because of the US Thanksgiving, on iTunes by December 6th. The cost will be $0.99 and Christine will donate $0.50 from each sale to Kids Help Phone, for which she very actively remains an Artist Ambassador.
Christine says, "It was definitely a lot of fun to record Mary Did You Know and I think some pretty cool ideas came out of the process. I tried to give the song a little more energy than the previous versions, while still remaining true to the original and the beautiful story it illustrates. I want to thank you all for taking the time to listen and for supporting the Kids Help Phone."
"We continue to be impressed with Christine''s talent and generosity," says Meghan Reddick, Kids Help Phone''s Manager, Youth Marketing. "Thanks to her efforts, young Canadians are learning they can turn to Kids Help Phone''s professional consellors for whatever they want to talk about, 24 hours a day, seven days a week."
2005 has been quite a year for this very talented young singer/songwriter from Victoria, B.C. Since the January release of her debut recording, Take Me Home, the album, a collection of songs expressed from a teenager''s viewpoint, has made waves with both industry and the general public. Two singles, Take Me Home and I''m So Alone, charted on radio and the video for Take Me Home spent a record five months on the MuchMoreMusic playlist. Christine, who, in May picked up an Island Music Award for Song of the Year for I''m So Alone, also received a nomination for Best New Solo Artist at this year''s Canadian Music Week Radio Awards.
In September Christine returned to the Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan for her sophomore year after a most exciting and productive summer spent working with her band, Brandon Foreman, Kevin Fox, Tony Rabalao and Ben Spivak. They toured across the country throughout June and July and, in August spent three weeks, traveling by tour bus along with Keshia Chanté, Amanda Stott and Cassie Steele, in a special summer concert series presented by Solo Mobile and eckored. The tour, originally conceived by Christine Evans to raise awareness for Kids Help Phone, proved to be hugely successful making stops in British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec. The young women gave more than 25 concerts in clubs, arenas and malls. Along the way Christine and her band made a ton of new fans.
In October Christine welcomed another player on to her team - veteran manager, Frank Gironda. The Los Angeles-based, Sanctuary Group VP brings a wealth of experience and enviable successes in artist management. He has assumed management duties to move Christine''s career forward.
