Her latest album, Winter Song, captures the magic of the holiday season, offering fresh, soulful interpretations of classics like “All I Want For Christmas Is You” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.” Co-produced with Ottawa-based engineer Steve Foley, the album also features an original track, “Winter Song,” penned by Evans, which reflects the serene beauty and emotional warmth of the season.
