Event information
We have promoted Eve many times in the past and she has always given us a 100% brilliant performance with no holds barred. As one leading American critic put it, “Eve Selis isn’t just a 'singer' — she’s an emotion transducer who converts country, R&B, blues, folk, and rock ‘n’ roll signals into a megawatt zap that galvanizes everyone in its path. The cauterizing power of Selis’s voice can arc-weld material from almost any genre into a personal manifesto.”
As winner of 7 San Diego Music Awards in Americana and Adult Alternative, Eve Selis is no stranger to Roots music. Her newest album ‘Family Tree’ features 14 sturdy tracks drawn from the dark, rich soil of American music. From the swamp-rock of "Rubber and Glue" to the plaintive country heartbreaker "Don't You Feel Lonesome" to Leonard Cohen's majestic masterpiece "Hallelujah," Selis and her band dug deep to create a towering opus of interconnected musical branches, all dripping with Selis's indelible "honey chipotle" voice.
The recording of the CD was financed entirely by fans of the Eve Selis band via the crowd funding web sites Kickstarter and PledgeMusic. A video appeal on both sites asking everyone to be a part of her "record label" brought in donations from $10 to $10,000. This allowed Selis to not only record at Big Fish with Churchyard but to hire renowned musician Albert Lee, described by Eric Clapton as "...the greatest guitarist in the world." She also brought in acclaimed sidemen, Dennis Caplinger on fiddle, mandolin, dobro and banjo and Rick Schmidt on steel guitar.
Mastering was done in Nashville by Best Engineer Grammy® Award winner Richard Dodd, known for his work with The Dixie Chicks, Big and Rich, Martina McBride, Brooks and Dunn, Tom Petty and many more.
As Bob Harris says, "Eve is a deeply creative, caring artist who gives everything to her craft. As a live performer she is awesomely powerful, as a recording artist she is both sensitive and strong. I love her spirit and I love her music. She deserves to shine."
