Evan recently completed a European tour which took him to Dublin, Amsterdam, Madrid, Seville, Valdepenas, Valencia, Granada, and Cadiz , where he performed / collaborated with some of Spains top flamenco players. Upon returning to the United States in July '06 , Evan then went on a tour of the Middle East / Southwest Asia (Kyrgyztan,Afghanistan,Djibouti,Kuwait,United Arab Emirates, Qatar ) Evan's versatility as a guitarist is shown on upcoming album entitled " THE MOSAIC" which is a collection of original compositions, most of which are with his band...a stark difference from his previous album. These new songs have a sound that has been compared to a mixture of Carlos Santana / Jimi Hendrix. THE MOSAIC also features several songs with vocals and studio production all performed by Evan. Although Evan is an extremely talented music producer / songwriter, his strength is in live performance. Evan's incredible talent is being recognized throughout the music industry! " Evan Christian, the leader of a great trio, is one of the most versatile guitarists I have ever seen. Christian's flamboyant guitar work is a mix of Jimi Hendrix and Prince and he has the stage presence to match. He played the guitar with his teeth and was exceptional at playing solos with the guitar behind his head. It would have seemed appropriate for him to burn his guitar at the end of the show." www.onmilwaukee.com For more information please go to www.evanchristian.com
