The website is awesome! Congrats! Your songs are so lovely, I play them for my daughter in the morning and she just smiles. You have an undeniable spark that draws people to you, that, paired with your musical abilities -- the sky is the limit for you my dear. You make MN proud! Keep it up!

My donation campaign is OFFICIALLY OVER and this page has been
converted back into a typical merchandise page!
I was able to meet my financial goals through your kind donations
and sponsorship and will now be able to complete my album
successfully and without delay! If you'd still like to donate, you are
more than welcome to through my donation buttons on the website,
but I would much rather for you to support me by staying in touch and
spreading the word about my music!
Thank you for your support and help in this process.
Stay tuned for all the exciting moments to come as we get closer
to the album release!
Due to illness, and general bad timing, and bad luck and whatever
you wanna call it- the show at Mayo Street Arts in Portland, ME which
was scheduled for tonight has been postponed.
Sorry! We'll reschedule soon- so get excited!!! :)
Love,
Eva
Now I'm EVERYWHERE on the interwebs!
Hey, internet! I'm HEEEEEEEERE. Trying to get people to notice you
on the internet these days is like waving hello from mars. I'm not sure
how I came up with that analogy, but I'm rollin' with it. So, in order to
maximize my internet resources, I've created a few new pages where
you may, or may not, wish to follow me. It's getting to be a lot for me to
manage, but if it means I'm introduced to ONE MORE PERSON than I
knew before as an artist on the web, it's worth it.
So click all the buttons with logos to the left. I now have facebook,
bandcamp, reverbnation, youtube, twitter, and don't remind me about
my myspace. I greatly dislike myspace. Don't even bother looking at
that page, even though I have one of those, too.
There are goodies on EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE PAGES. So,
if you're as obsessed with me as I am (jk), now you have 3 more pages
to stalk me on. Actually, I hope you're along the ride for my music,
not to stalk me...
Love you guys!
Album update!
Yo! Check out my blog for a brand spankin' new album update, fun
photos and FACTS. Cold, hard FACTS.
I come to you all in a time of GREAT NEED! Putting together an
album is expensive! I now find myself nervously checking my
bank account every day, eating cereal for dinner, and searching
for cheaper places to live. I know I'm not the only musician out
there struggling to make ends meet and start a career in music,
but I believe in myself and I believe you will love my album
IF I CAN AFFORD TO FINISH IT!
I'm doing this because it's been my dream to put this album out
for you for YEARS. It's finally happening, because it HAS to, but
my savings have disappeared and I need your help to finish
what I've begun!
This is where I turn to you. You've always been there for me and
I'm not about to let you down. I'm working with amazing people
and we're already making huge progress on what's going to be
my BIGGEST RELEASE YET!
So, here is where you come in: I need help making
this happen! EVERY CENT YOU SPEND ON THIS SITE GOES
STRAIGHT TO MY ALBUM. Whether it's a donation, or a purchase in my store, it all goes
into the album, which will in turn go back to you!
I have a flow chart included here to help you visualize how this
will work:
* $5 gets you a bumper sticker & a personal thank you note
from me!
* $20 gets everything listed above PLUS an mp3 of an exclusive
original song that has NEVER been released. An exclusive track
for you!
* $50 gets everything listed above PLUS a t shirt
* $100 gets everything listed above PLUS an EXCLUSIVE PRE-
RELEASE download of the album when it's complete!
* $200 gets everything listed above PLUS a dedication on youtube!
All song suggestions will be seriously considered.
* $250+ Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!If you donate more than $250, you're
crazy, but you'll receive EVERYTHING listed above PLUS your own
personalized ukulele!
Understand that these things will take a little time to procure for you
(especially the t shirts!), but I'll do my best to have them to as soon
as possible! So, all you need to do is go to my "SHOP" here and
select the package you want!
WORKING ON AN ALBUM!
I've been a little shy about publicizing this because it seemed too good to be true and much too awesome to believe, but it's time to tell you... or to sing it to you:
I'M MAKING AN ALBUM!
I'm teaming up with my friend Josh Cohen at the Black
Hat Music Studio, who is a talented engineer and
musician and generally just an all-around good guy to
make the songs you've been hearing from me into
THE REAL DEAL. So far, working with this rockstar
has been a dream come true and everything is
sounding better than I ever could have imagined!
I'm still doing fundraising for the album through this site
with soon-to-be revealed incentives!!! But in the
meantime, if you donate, just know something good
will be coming your way! Your kindness will not go
unrecognized!!!
Much, much love!
♥Eva
ATTENTION! Release of embarrassing photo!

NEW COVER VIDEO ON YOUTUBE!

NEW COVER VIDEO ON YOUTUBE!
Christina Perri may write some funny lyrics, but her songs still cut to the core. Here's my version of "Jar of Hearts". Enjoy!

my shows & on this site! Get excited!

How YOU can give back!
Friends:
(I address you as friends because you are ALL my friends in music, whether we've met or have yet to meet in person...)
*ahem* So, friends:
The time has come. I have added a donation button to my website. That's right, I'm asking for your $cha-cha-cha-change$.
I have a job that pays my bills. This money is not to pay my bills (when I start charging for my albums is when you'll know I need the money to pay my bills- someday, I hope my music can pay my bills). No, this money is meant ONLY for producing more music for you all!
So, this is how it works: if you are willing and able to make a donation, EVERY CENT that is given goes into music that will in turn be given back to you. So, if you like what I do, it's really a gift for yourselves and all your other friends through this music. I make music for the passion of it, for the fun of it, because it's what my life is about. I do it because I want to. But things cost money and while I can currently say I make music without expecting pay nor reward, the music business cannot say the same. While music is pumping through my veins, money is pumping through the system and in order to participate, I gotta pay up.
I know I've been promising an album for awhile, but I'm hitting a snag that I think ALL musicians have to deal with today: the cost of producing a professional album is staggering. It makes me want to start an "only ramen noodles for dinner" policy whenever I think about it.
(Before I forget: the donation button is on the "Freebies" page of this website along with all the music I'm offering for free download!)
More than anything, I want people to be able to listen to my music. That's why it's here for free. If you have the means, donate $5 or $10 and make sure I KNOW about it. I want to thank you personally. If that's something you really can't afford, trust me, I understand. Just do me a favor: enjoy my music, come to my shows, and make sure you share my music with someone.
... just pass the love along. :)
Love,
Eva

NEW COVER VIDEO ON YOUTUBE!
This is the kind of song that makes me lose my voice when it comes on at the bar. Might be my favorite new song from a new favorite band of the year. Check out my cover!
EVAPALOOZA- September 13th on Mass Ave.
Out of some divine coincidence, I'm able to announce that there will be one night in the near future where you can see me perform with EVERYONE I regularly collaborate with here in Boston! I'm so excited to share this night with you guys, so come hang out and see three AWESOME acts, all with ME!
First we'll start out at The Cantab Lounge on Mass Ave. @ 8:30 pm for their ridiculously popular Bluegrass Night! I'll be playing with Hickory Strings, a truly inspiring crossover bluegrass band who likes to groove and have fun...
Then, we'll just walk a couple blocks down Mass Ave. to The Plough & Stars for TWO sets where I'll be singing and playing! The first set will be a short set with Steph Barrak, my musical soulmate and one of my favorite songwriters on the face of this earth, and the second longer set will be with My Politic (the band), who writes mesmerizing tunes for guitar, fiddle, and three part vocal harmony that folks your face off.
The timing is going to be perfect, so set aside one evening for three awesome musical acts and be prepared to have a wonderful time! It'd be so nice to have your support that night for... EVAPALOOZA!!! ;)
So. Just a recap:
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2011
The Cantab Lounge (upstairs) @ 8:30 pm w/Hickory Strings
The Plough & Stars @ 10:30 pm w/Steph Barrak & My Politic
