He has performed throughout the United States and in Malaysia, Singapore, Spain, and France and has played with the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra, the Miami City Ballet Orchestra, the University of North Texas Symphony and Concert Orchestras, the UNT One O'Clock Lab Band, and the University of Miami Concert Jazz Band. Evens is a certified teacher of the Alexander Technique, holds an MA in Jazz Piano Performance from the University of Miami, and a DMA in Performance, major in Jazz studies (composition emphasis) from the University of North Texas.

The Wrong Waltz is an album of original compositions for piano trio, featuring Lynn Seaton on acoustic bass, Ed Soph on drums, and Gabe Evens on piano. The wide variety of styles reflects a love for jazz from its inception through bebop, hard-bop, fusion, and modal genres. The music is lyrical, takes unexpected twists and turns, conveys a strong mood, and feels great.

Grammy award winner bassist Lynn Seaton and Percussive Arts Society Hall of Fame drummer Ed Soph are master jazz musicians who infuse the music with their creativity and positive energy. Their confident and sensitive accompaniment gives a distinct, interesting flavor to each composition.
In his sixth album of original jazz, Gabe Evens creates something enjoyable for all music lovers.
