REVIEW
A pure and pleasing voice and a performance style that know no bounds. -- Greg Quill, Toronto Star

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Eve Goldberg sings music that feeds your soul. Known for her "watercolour voice" and her solid guitar style, Eve performs an appealing blend of folk, blues, bluegrass, swing, jazz, old-time, gospel music. With a mixture of her own songs, songs by other writers, and traditional material, Eve combines a heartfelt respect for the music of earlier times with a love of contemporary folk styles. Audiences love the rich musical texture of her performances, as she sings a quiet ballad one minute, picks a guitar instrumental the next, belts out a blues the next, and tops it off with an uplifting a capella chorus. But more than anything, listeners respond to Eve's music because it is about the everyday lives of ordinary people - their joys, hopes, struggles and triumphs.
