The time has come for Angela Evans to make her mark.  And not just on a musical note.  “I think there’s a time in life when you start to feel as though you have an opportunity to use your voice in a positive way and I feel like that time is coming for me now.”

With the launch of a new album in March and fresh look on life, the Lively native is set to tour with a message of hope.  The award-winning folk musician has turned her focus to motivational speaking.  It was a natural fit for her, as she transitioned to the adult contemporary genre.

“I think it’s always been there in the distance,” Evans said about launching a speaking career.  “I’ve always talked more than most between songs.  At least this way I can talk about the songs and incorporate them into a show.”

Her new album, Still Hope, is a culmination of work dating back from 2008.  Since then her music has matured, as has her voice, both in sound and message.  In the title song ‘Still Hope,’ Evans repeats the phrase “May I always be one of the millions who still believe.”  This positive message has led her to be on the same guest list as America’s highest-profile people.  Recently, Evans was invited to the Global Woman’s Summit in Washington D.C. to perform songs from her new album.  The summit includes guest speakers like Barack and Michelle Obama, and Oprah Winfrey.

Now, she will be playing for us on June 13 at The Arts Station.  Don’t miss out!

Performing on the same bill is Ben Sures. Showtime is 8 p.m. and tickets are available at The Arts Station, Freshies, Carosella and www.theartsstation.com
