“Throughout the last few years, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to write, produce, and arrange songs for major network Christmas films,” shares Anthony Evans. “It was working on those songs that spurred the idea to make my own Christmas album and incorporate new arrangements of some of my all-time favorites along with a few fun originals."
Produced by Evans, Darrel Walls and Max Stark, The Greatest Gift showcases Evan's incredible vocals on songs like "Joy To The World" and "Mary Did You Know" as well as his original works "My Holiday" and "He is" as a powerful choir backs him.
He adds, "Some of my most favorite memories include the holidays and the music associated with them. I hope that this album brings joy to whoever is listening as well as reminds them that through the birth of our Savior, we truly have been given The Greatest Gift."
This year, Evans released his newest Billboard Top 10 Gospel Album, Revive, which featured a mix of inspiring new original songs and soulful worship songs he drew on to survive a time of immense trials. He will wrap his time on Kirk Franklin's "The Reunion Tour," where he has continued his philanthropic work with Food For The Hungry in major markets across the country.

ABOUT ANTHONY EVANS: Anthony Evans’s deep faith has been the foundation of everything he has set out to accomplish in his life and ministry. Growing up the son of influential pastor, Dr. Tony Evans, among siblings Chrystal Evans Hurst, Priscilla Shirer, and Jonathan Evans, all of whom have become impactful speakers, authors, and spiritual leaders themselves, Anthony’s path is unique and all his own. From Billboard charting artist, worship leader, producer, author, and actor, everything Anthony does comes from a heart of faith and his desire for that faith to make an impact inside and outside of the four walls of the Church.
As an accomplished vocalist, Anthony has produced 11 solo projects, two of which have hit the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Gospel Album chart. His newest release, Revive, is infused with Anthony’s refreshing re-commitment to God after a devastating, extended period of loss, unanswered questions, and heartache. Sustaining him through dark times, Anthony has learned to be grateful for the opportunities God has provided him to share his talents in unconventional ways not normally afforded to a Christian artist. Opportunities like performing and starring in Disney’s Hollywood Bowl Production of “Beauty and the Beast,” appearing as an artist, and later becoming a talent producer for NBC’s hit show, “The Voice,” and producing and arranging music for major Hollywood networks and production houses. In addition to his music, ministry, and global travel as a worship leader, Anthony has authored/co-authored three books, Unexpected Places, Divine Disruption, and When Faith Meets Therapy.
In everything, Anthony desires to share his life and authentic faith with transparency and honesty, “...being confident of this, that he who began a good work in him will carry it out to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” Phil 1:6
