Eva Cassidy - an Eva Cassidy Story

In 2013, Lauren steps into the forefront as an artist in her own right as she presents a special tribute to the late, great Eva Cassidy - an artist who has had such a significant influence on Lauren's career and her character. With a talented group of musicians, Lauren features in this special show, "FOR EVA: an Eva Cassidy story" performing some of the great original and cover interpretations left behind by this beautiful, influential artist!

 

An American Singer & Guitarist, Eva Marie Cassidy was well known for her interpretations of Jazz, Blues, Folk, Gospel, Country & Pop classics. Born in Washington D.C in 1963, she was virtually unknown outside of her home town. She officially released only two albums during her life, one of which was the popular "Live at Blues Alley" released in 1996 the same year as her untimely death. 

 

Keep your eyes and ears open in the coming year as Lauren heads into the studio to prepare her first full album release as a tribute to Eva Cassidy. More details to come!
