Known simply as Evie, and with a sweet
voice and excellent musical arrangements by Lennart
Sjöholm and Pelle Karlsson, “....the girl who sang
her songs for Jesus Christ” became the most popular
inspirational Christian recording artist of the ‘70s and
early ‘80s.
She was born in the United States. Her
parents were Norwegian immigrants.
Her career began as a young teenager after
a friend made an arrangement for her to appear on a popular
late-night TV talk show in Norway one night. After that, the
invitations to perform poured in from around Scandinavia.
Evie has recorded over 30 albums in
English and various Scandinavian languages. Her first album in
the U.S. was released by Word Records in 1974.
In 1979, she married Pelle Karlsson, a
pastor and musician in a church in Stockholm, Sweden.
