Message: I just recently came across Eva’s songs. WOW! Her songs really “speak” to me. My sister-in-law was battling colon cancer and someone gave my family a CD. It gave us such support to listen to such a beautiful voice from an amazing person! Sadly, my sister-in-law, Penny Dunker Polek, lost her battle with cancer too at age 35. I hope Eva’s family knows what support and happiness her music gives families that have a loved one battling cancer. Her voice is such a comfort.

Message: One day in 1999 my best friend Connie called me and said “just be quiet and listen.” By the time Eva’s “Over the rainbow” was finished I was weeping. NEVER have I heard anything so beautiful or moving. This year on March 30 (my birthday) my best friend Connie died of brain cancer. Eva’s “Over the rainbow” was requested by Connie to be played at her funeral. A beautiful song for a beautiful friendship that lasted for 60 years. Thank you Eva for the pure beauty.

Message: If you have just now heard of Eva, you have been missing one of the all time greatest singers this world or any other world could have ever known. To think that there are still ignorant people who don’t even know of her and absolutely wonderful voice and pitch perfect delivery is a real, real shame. She actually really is the greatest ever and we all DO LOVE EVA!!!

Message: One more post. I try not to be too delusional in my old age. I know I never knew Eva, but reading about the kind of person she was, it’s what all musicians should strive to be.
Whether we live to be 33 or 103, our time on life is short. Oh, how I wish I could go to Blues Alley and see her tonight. She would probably think I’m a crazed stalker, as I wait to tell her how she touches me.
I love all the pics here. My favorite one is of her and Laura when they were little girls.

Message: It’s nice to see so many people still remembering Eva on this guestbook.
I chose Kathy’s Song because it was the first time I ever heard her voice, as this song was used as background on a tv show. I waited until the end credits to find out who had this amazing voice, then did my research. I had no idea who she was, and was saddened to see she had already passed away. Thank goodness the family has enabled us to continue to enjoy her amazing talents. To all the family, and especially to my friend Margret, I wish you all a Very Merry Christmas, and Peace and Love in the New Year!

Message: Hello Laura and family and friends of Eva Cassidy. It has been 5 years or so since I have posted but my regard for Eva, her music, her family, her band and her friends has not diminished. When I first listend to the Songbird CD it set in motion a long journey of discovery and also created a need to understand and express the amazingly complex set of emotions that exposure to this talent and this life lived created in me. Finally after quite a bit of effort to put it all in perspective I wrote a little poem about Eva. Obviously I could have waxed effusive ad infinitum but my goal was to keep it simple stupid. I posted the poem back in 04 but I thought the newer folks might like to see and enjoy it. She was and is, simply, THE BEST. So, here goes. “Like the most gentle flower in the spring, Eva bloomed, then faded. Many just walked by but, you and I, saw the beauty that she had created. Unlike the flower that’s gone, Eva left her image in a song, for those who could hear to see. Although I am certain that she, would strongly disagree,to me, Eva surpassed the flower.”
Ya’ll have a Merry Christmas!

Message: As a devout Eva fan since 2003, I regularly try to introduce her music to the “unknowing”. Here is an example I hope you find worth reading. Yesterday, I was having my hair cut and Laurie, the hairdresser, initiated a discussion about getting ready for Christmas. To make a longer story shorter, I mentioned that my wife carried most of the burden; that I only had to select and buy presents for my brother and sister and that was easy as I got them the same thing every year – cd’s by Eva Cassidy (I just received my order of cd’s and notecards from the evacassidy dot com website). Laurie said she had never heard of Eva Cassidy and asked her co-worker to google the name. She did this on her cell phone and after a brief discussion brought up Eva singing “Over the Rainbow”, which we all listened to while proceding with my haircut. They were very impressed with Eva’s voice (“surprise!”) and proceeded to listen to “Time after Time” and were listening to “Fields of Gold” when I left. After leaving, I went to my car and retrieved a spare “Somewhere” cd and took it back to the studio and handed it to Laurie-so they could hear a much higher quality sound. In about 6 weeks, I will return to the Guestbook with an update as to what has transpired since yesterday.

Message: I vividly remember the moment I first heard Eva’s voice, even though it was many years ago. It touched me so deeply, and I went out and bought every CD of hers that I could find.
She is one of the greatest female voices that ever graced our planet. A voice from the heavens. Her delivery of tone and lyric are unmatched, in my opinion. From subtle near-whispers to soul-awakening wails, she is pitch-perfect and always clearly focusing on the story-telling part of singing. She didn’t just sing to show off her chops, she sang to tell the audience, “Here’s a story and an emotion that we all share as a human family–it’s okay, it’s beautiful, see?”

Message: I was so very saddened to hear about the passing of Elizabeth Edwards yesterday…..
I knew she had been battling cancer for several years, but still—it came as quite a shock to hear that she had finally succumbed to this devastating disease….
My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends today—especially her beautiful children.
Regardless of one’s political affiliation, I think we can all agree that Elizabeth showed amazing strength, courage, and grace throughout her life……
She’d endured the loss of her 16 year old son, the dissolution of a 30 year marriage, and finally–the return of her cancer.
Losing a loved one is so very, very painful…..especially during the Holiday season.
My heart goes out to Elizabeth’s loved ones…
May God be with them today, and in the days to come……
And to Elizabeth….
You have truly been an inspiration—to ALL of us!!!

Message: I have been blessed to have been an Eva fan for many years. I discovered Eva when Nightline highlighted her to the American public. I used to listen to Eva so much of the time. Now I reserve Eva for special moments. So the other night, as I was driving to work, I put the CD: American Tune on in my car. I really had not listened to it in a long time. I am from New Jersey originally and grew up near where the Rutger’s student, Tyler Clementi, took his life. As you may recall, his roommate videotaped him having sexual relations with another man. His death was so tragic as are the deaths of so many young folks who have been bullied or felt too isolated due to their life style. So, while the CD was playing, I again heard Eva singing “True Colors.” This should be an anthem for all youngsters who need to know that they are really lovely people.

There is a video on youtube of “Tears in Heaven – Mary Ann Redmond & Eva Cassidy singing Eric Clapton’s “Tears in Heaven” – From a 1995 performance at Fleetwood’s in Alexandria, VA.”
Does anyone know if there is any recording anywhere of this? Without all the noise? I LOVE HER VERSION SO MUCH and this song is the memorial song for my brother’s death. I was hoping to get a copy of it somehow onto my computer. I’ve searched but don’t see it anywhere for Eva or MaryAnn
Thanks all.

thank you for such great songs you left for us to enjoy.

Message: I am so distraught. I just read that Eva passed away in 1996. I heard Songbird recently and her voice, harmonics just took me over. I started lilstening to hers songs and fell in love with her. As someone mentioned, why is it that we never heard of her. Clearly one of the very best artists in a long time. If radio stations and record companies would only listen to some talent sometimes instead of putting on the crap we hear today.
Not too many singers have the rythm and harmonics in ther voices like Eva had.
Funny, because I hear Chrystal Bowersox (American Idol) in some some songs, so wondering if Chrystal was a fan of Eva.
Eva, the music world will miss you, but I will keep playing your songs.
A huge Fan

Message: I have come across the words of a man of wisdom which helped me “understand” why Eva’s music is so magical.I apologize if this will look like a dissertation, it’s just that all he said applies so well to her music. And I meant this to be a tribute on this special day, to an artist who touched me more than anyone else :
” When is art true art ?
First, let us be clear about what art is. The producer of art is, I would say, in a thanking position. I say a thanking position because he thanks for being allowed to be. Being allowed to be in this joy, in this equanimity, brings him to produce art and to share this joy with others. So art, in a certain way, points directly to our real nature.
The science of creating art is to free our expression from the material part. By this I mean that the creation should take us beyond the five senses.It must free us from matter and also from ideas. Art must be conceived in such a way that it meets the observer. To do this, to come to this meeting with others, there must be room for the observer to participate…This coming together is the goal, if we can speak of a goal, of the work of art.
…….There must be space in the work, and this space can only appear when the artist as an “artist” is absent. When the artist puts himself into the work, it ceases to be art and becomes a piece of self-expression, often suitable only for discussion on the analyst’s coach. When there is no one writing or painting, there will automatically be an economy of expression….
If we can give an example from the theatre ….?
It depends what kind of play you present. But, in any case, the actor must take the audience with him. He must not dominate them with his personality or his technique. It belongs to the high art of the actor to give the right amount of stimulation. If he gives too little, his role is bland like a tasteless dish. If he gives too much, the audience is nauseated. The actor gives the audience the opportunity to be creative and to complete it. In completing it there is the joy of creating together. So the member of the audience finds himself in a passive-active state. He listens and at the same time he completes what has knowingly not been revealed. Art is to express the inexpressible. ”
(Excerpt from Jean Klein , “Open to the Unknown, dialogues in Delphi” )
I believe that what Eva has created is a brilliant example for this last sentence. May God bless her soul.

Message: 2nd Nov, 2010
As in the song…”Today is a Special Day, an Anniversary…” 14 years today since the sad passing of dear Eva.
Already in Australia it’s Tuesday and I have been thinking of Eva constantly. I could not miss this chance to make my first entry in the Guestbook.
I’ve read through many of the comments posted by others, both in the current page of the Guestbook and the first three pages of the Archives. I’m working through them slowly and intend to eventually read them all.
So far, I have not come across any mention of I thought I had about the song she sang: “I Wandered by the Brookside”. The words of this poignant song describe the transition of passing from our world to the other side. There is the feeling of moving through a beautiful green countryside by a stream. I wonder whether this is something like Eva actually experienced on her journey. If she did, I think she would have felt quite at home as she loved to be close to nature.
If there is such a thing as Heaven and an afterlife, I like to think that God would have been there personally to welcome her, just as in the song:
“And silent tears fast flowing,
as someone stood beside.
A hand upon my shoulder,
I knew the touch was God…”
To Eva’s parents and family, and all who knew and loved her, my thoughts are with you at sad this time. I hope there are lots of happy memories mixed with the sorrow.
Kind regards,
Christopher (a great fan)

If you want to learn more about Eva and get some great insight into this fascinating person I highly recommend you pick up the book “Eva Cassidy: Songbird” by Rob Burley, Jonathan Maitland, and Elana Rhodes Byrd. You can find it by searching “books” on Amazon.com. Be sure to use the Amazon link from this website because part of the proceeds will be used for melanoma research. I first heard Eva over 10 years ago and am just as inspired by her as I was then. A truly amazing person on so many levels.

I wished I could find more about the person she was. The internet has posted stories about how she had bouts w/seasonal depression. Is this true? I also hope that a movie based on her life would soon be made. I have fallen completely in love w/her voice. Her death is a reminder of how you never know who you may encounter.

Message: I recently discovered Eva when listening to Pandora’s selections of ‘Kate Wolf’ music. I have it in the background on my computer as I work at my desk. When I heard Eva singing Fields of Gold, I had to stop what I was doing and click on Pandora to find out the name of the singer. Her voice pierced through my concentration on my work and made me sit back and listen. What a joy! I’ve been a fan ever since.
If ever you wish to comtemplate an Eva Cassidy Music Festival – like we have our annual Kate Wolfe Music Festival out here on the West Coast in Northern CA, let me know. I’d be thrilled to help organize one. This is a weekend event with camping included. Kate Wolf also died young of cancer, and was another special soulful singer and songwriter. She hailed from my part of the world in Sonoma County, CA. Her memory lives on each year with the music festival. That would be a lovely tribute to Eva, too.
I have only heard a few of Eva’s songs, however I am now a fan for life. I look forward to hearing the rest of her repetoire.
I’m so grateful people have shared their information about Eva so fans like me can learn about this spectacular woman. Thank you!
All my best,
Judith N.

Message: I just learned of Eva Cassidy today and cannot stop listening to her incredible music. I have severe hearing loss in both ears from close exposure to small arms fire and explosives. Eva’a music somehow gets through fourty five years of this deafness. With my volume very low, Eva’s music is crisp and clear and when I listen intently to the detail of her voice, this terrible ringing leaves me. Thank you for giving me such a gift. Because of this deafness I never studied music and I can’t play even one note. Today however, Eva taught me that it’s time I begin to learn God Bless you Eva for what you left here for us, I will look for you in Heaven.

And reading through the postings, not enough has been said about the band. Chris Biondo, Keith Grimes, Raice McLeod, Lenny Williams, Chuck Brown, these guys were as good a band as any. Fabulous players, and need it be said that Brown toe-to-toe with Joe Williams. Eva and these guys made the best music you can hear on Earth. I suppose if God gave you a chance to play along with Eva, you sure as heck would play your heart out every single time.
I can only believe that her voice was just too Divine to be confined to those of us she left behind.

Well, that night I went and bought everything of hers on Itunes and looked up videos on youtube. When I watched the live version on “You’ve Changed” at Blues Alley, I was in tears by the end of it. What a beautiful song and moment. It gave me chills and to watch her sing it was amazing. I definitely think her music and story will put her in the realm of many other greats who left too soon: Janis Joplin, Billy Holiday, Patsy Cline…

Message: Almost 3 Years ago I heard a Katie Melua Album that Impressed me – “Call off the Search” – & I noticed she was influenced by Eva Cassidy – I made a mental note to check Eva out, but never got around to it – when a year later I came upon a used CD called Moods IV.
I brought it home to listen to it with a friend of mine. The Cd had some nice stuff on it – But, when we heard Eva’s “Fields of Gold” we knew that was special – just something that makes you full inside and then forces you to empty out your emotions with tears. I wish I could explain the feelings better. But, I don’t know how.
I think there was some kind of synergy with my coming across that CD & since then my friend & I, have purchased 7 of her 8 solo CDs as well as Method Actor,the Blues Alley DVD & The Songbird biography
Thanks Laura for providing this very special place of both tribute & emotional comfort

Message: I cannot begin to tell you just how Eva has touched my life. I just learned of her less than 2 months ago through a special man in my life…since then I have been so fancinated with her and cannot stop listening to her. It is so difficult to explain but I feel so connected to her. It’s a strange and wonderful thing. I tell everyone I can about her and her music. I see out anything I can find to learn more about her and her life. Her voice is angelic…and she is AMAZING…I thank God for her and her music and for allowing me the pleasure of listening to her day in and day out. I simply cannot hear her enough!!

I cannot hear Over the Rainbow without wishing everyone else could as well. It is incredible. Her voice makes us think of songs in totally new and much appreciated ways.I am so, so sorry she died so early. Thanks for the gift she left us.

Message: I just performed a successful concert here in Denver on October 8. I titled it “The Music of Her Life: A Tribute to Eva Cassidy”. I shared words and many songs from Eva’s repertoire that reflected her life and her contribution to the world as a creative artist and caring human being. It was a joy to educate and enlighten my audience, AND myself, as well. I even shared some of her sketches and paintings from her book, and encouraged people to buy the book. Perhaps I will send the concert recording I did for myself to Eva’s family so they can hear how it went….

Message: ASTONISHING music. Words cannot adequately describe or define it. What is different about her music is, it isn’t just music; it is as though the music has a HEALING LIFE or quality of its’ own that comes out through it. I feel better, am strengthened and encouraged when I listen to it. Someone has said that her music is a conduit-a channel for the Divine. A record producer said she wasn’t just an outstanding talent, but that she had the “hand of God” on her head. I believe she was an instrument that God is using, through her musical talent, to help heal a sick world. A quote from Psalm 107:20 says: “He (God) sent forth his word and healed them”. Thank you Eva, through your songs, I am enjoying my “healing”!

Scroll to the bottom of the page of thumbnails and see (hopefully), around 8 rows up from the bottom on the right, a picture of David Arculeta with Minnie Mouse (?! Yeah, I know, but stay with me) click on the image which opens the Arculeta fan site where the page contains a piece written by someone who got to see Eva live by accident (at Fleetwood’s) and emerged forever a fan. It’s a great tale that made me sigh with wistful envy

Message: First of all. I do not want this to be another post you already read before. So, when that is written, I am a man, 32 years old, that have struggled a lot to find my own identity and my place, in this world. You all know, that the world is really big. And we. Are really really small. It is hard to feel good when you see everyone feeling better. But that is an illusion. Nobody is really good all the time. We have a heart, we have a soul, and if you run away from it you will hit the ground with a bang. Eva Cassidy, lived a pretty short life, but she found many things in herself, that many never will find. She found her own voice. My first experience with Eva Cassidy was Time After Time. I heard that song before, but never felt like I did when she performed it. At that time when i heard her singing it I was really sad. And that song, made me cry. I felt really good afterwards. It was like a little piece of myself was finally finding the way into the world again. A little piece of my soul. And then I picked up the rest of her stuff, it was really good. It was amazing. And everytime i listened to her songs, I felt I was growing inside me. Now I am older and I have a wonderful girlfriend and two wonderful kittens, and life has turned out really well for me. I am loved. But most of all I love myself. Like never before. I am not the typical person you probably met before and find easy to understand. But I am a piece of the world now. And I can speak. From my soul. If I had the voice of Eva I would sing too. But maybe it is for the better that I leave that to other and more experienced singers/songwriters 🙂 Many thanks Eva Cassidy for helping me through this big big world, and this big big life, with your songs and your wonderful voice. Now I do not feel so small anymore!

Message: I first heard one of Eva’s songs playing on MySpace around a year ago. I was touched in a moving way. I could feel the heart and soul in this artist’s song. Absolutely incredible. Yes, indeed, touched by an angel. Then I looked up her music and I listened and listened, couldn’t get enough. Shortly after then, I came to find out that she was no longer with us and I found it heartbreaking. Tonight I have been sitting spending some one on one time with Sweet Eva, as she has serenade me through some painful hours. I had to come here. This is my first time here. I had to pay respects. Surely, Heaven is blessed with her music and talent there. I look forward to meet her one day and listen to her in person. I didn’t have that golden opportunity in this life. I have a real love for her.

Message: I only discovered Eva and this website this week and left a message yesterday on this message board but felt that I needed to add another – Firsty I am amazed how many people like me have just “found” Eva’s wonderful amazing voice and her music, I want to thank everyone who has been kind enough to share their heartfelt feelings, I’ve so far read through several hundred and both share everyone’s grief that Eva has been taken from us but also thrilled to see the love and affection Eva is held in. I thought I had heard them all before I had heard Eva: Yearwood, McBride, Streisand, Krauss, Carey, I’ve been lucky enough to see most of the above, all great no question but Eva, I put you above all of them and I’ll always be very sad I’ll never be able to see you on this earth but I know you are in heaven. And finally, Laura, you have all our love and thanks for all you hard work over the years for giving us this most cherised of website, thank you xx

The intro to Fields of Gold comes up at just after 24 minutes in, so scroll forwards. Michael (who is a talented actor/singer and London West End star) describes the track as, ‘one of the most beautiful recordings ever.’ And to think Eva didn’t want to release the album!

Message: We listened to Michael Ball’s Sunday show on BBC Radio 2 yesterday morning.
Michael has a feature on his show which is called “better than the original”
Listeners are asked to suggest cover versions which they consider to be better than the original recordings.
Yesterday one of Michael’s listeners said that Eva’s version of “Fields of Gold” was the better version!
Well, we all knew that didn’t we?
Michael played Eva’s version of “Fields of Gold” and said that he felt that Eva’s arrangement was VERY moving.
It is always nice to hear Eva on the radio so let’s all keep sending in the requests to the radio stations around the world 🙂

He is already showing talent playing the piano and singing .I am due my second child next week and i have Evas cds packed already in my hospital bag. I only wish I could have gotten to sit in an Irish pub here and hear her play. She has this amazingly familiar quality that makes the listener feel that they are there listening to her sing. Godbless Eva ,Heaven must be full of your song.

Message: I came across Eva’s music while searching for a song on the internet. I live a life that is too fast for my spirit. I catch myself seeking activities that help me slow down. I saw the title for ‘Danny Boy’ with Eva’s name beneath. I’ve heard the song many times and wanted to listen to Eva’s version. Her voice suspended me in a quiet place, it still does. I downloaded every song on the playlist and listen to it everyday so far. I wish I could have listened to her and the band play live. I happen to be one of the people who seek out live music and I always buy a cd if they have one. I taught my sons to do the same. There are female vocalists who have a gift that can reach other females. Through song, lyric, and voice, I have listened to two…Joni Mitchell and Eva Cassidy. I wish I had a friend like Eva.

Also a special note on Over the Rainbow – I liked the original Judy Garland version – But, Eva’s version made it seem so new & emotionally fresh that I had a totally new appreciation for the Song.
Also Eva’s Over the Rainbow was once again played at the Philadelphia 4th of July fireworks in 2009.

I introduced Eva’s music to my brother and his partner at his cabin as the sun was rising and the breakfast was cooking. I first heard Eva back when the Terry Wogan played her on his morning show and everyone wanted to know where to find her album. Songbird is my go to albumn when I just want to chill out. It makes me so thankful for the short time she was with us and the songs she left behind. When ever you have a chance, share her music with a friend, they will be eternally grateful. Eva lives on and on and heaven and earth are better for it. Grace and peace to you all, Mike

Message: hi roby
re ” Dark Eyed Molly “…was written by Archie Fisher a Scottish folky singer ( 60’s / 70’s era )…it was on an album called ” The Man with a Rhyme “.
the song was ” based on a few lines of Gaelic poetry and the tune of a Basque lullaby. The slow ballad is on a pair of Gaelic themes : unrequited love and strong drink ”
( things a lot of us can relate too maybe !!! )
Eva’s version is so lovely, check out the Fairport Convention / Sandy Denny version too.
regards…

I’ve begun to “collect” Eva’s songs and as many have said on these pages, I can’t believe she is gone now that I have just found her.

Yup, there was Eva’s “Songbird” cover right underneath! That’s what I call staying power! Still, the greatest female singer ever.

Message: Being a music lover, I have been a fan of Eva’s since I heard her in the 90’s. I was very sad in her passing.
It wasn’t so much that her voice was outstanding, it was the strength of emotion & expression she exuded into each of her songs. Very moving ! I believe there is a reason for everything, as is in her leaving us too early. The men who make movies need to make one of Eva’s life so as to share the music she wanted people to hear. Alison Lohman would be a good actress to play the part.

Message: I discovered Eva Cassidy’s music a few months ago. Danny Boy has been recorded by many many artists, but never have i heard one like this. i’m a person who seldom cries. even during the worst times of my life i couldn’t cry…but this song makes me ball like a baby. As a musician myself, i think it has a beauty that can’t be compared to anything. it is exactly as the song should be and i’m very thankful that one sleepless night i stumbled upon her songs. many think its a shame she was never signed to a major record label. i think it’s very fortunate…although it may be a bit selfish of me to say. if she HAD been signed, would we have been left with the beautiful music of her own choosing? or would we have been left with generic pop hits that would have faded away?
one things for sure…eva was extraordinarily talented and i’m glad i’ve had the honor of listening to her voice. its as though her soul was exposed in each recording.

I loved her version of “The Rose”, since hearing part of the song on a BBC biographical piece that was done a couple of years after she passed. In the BBC version, the audio quality was very good and Eva sang all the vocal parts. If anyone has that recording of the entire song they would be doing “Evamaniacs” a great service by posting it on youtube.
The video can be acessed by going to youtube and searching Eva Cassidy Method Actor “The Rose”.

She was taken away too soon…… If she was alive today, she would be putting many of the other “pop” female vocalists to shame….
Thankfully, she recorded several songs so we could hear her today….

Message: I just happened upon her when listening to Pandora last week…..Songbird stopped me in my tracks, and I said out loud “who is THAT???”
I found out she had passed years ago, and honestly wept bitterly. Not only did she have a “one in a billion” voice, but the same kind of heart put behind it.
Eva, I wish I had known you. I will treasure your music and legacy the rest of my days.

Message: It started with Eric Clapton’s version of “Over The Rainbow”. I liked the way he did it. I’m a bass player, but I can strum and pick a little. I went on line to find the cool jazz chords that clapton uses. I kept cominig across people chatting about Eva Cassidy’s version. I started to become intrigued, and wanted to hear something. Wow! I couldn’t believe how good she sounded. I thought “How come I haven’t heard of her”. Then I found out she passed away more than ten years ago. What an emotional pendulum that was. I was so excited about finding this wonderful new artist. Then, within minutes, I learned she had passeed. I was very saddened. I’m in the process of collecting all her cd’s. A true natural talent of the mind, heart, body, and soul.

Message: 14 yrs ago I was driving, with my then 4 yr old, and heard Eva sing Over The Rainbow and was mesmerized. I didn’t catch her name then, but have searched since then for her. The other night I was working at home, listening to internet radio on Pandora, when I was suddenly stunned to hear that same Rainbow song once again. I almost fell off my chair with elation! I saw WHO that artist was and now have YouTube’s collection to listen to until the CDs I ordered arrive!
I’ve lived my life, all 57yrs, as a woman who dances to her own drummer, as apparently did Eva. At times, it’s made life a bit more difficult, but I’ve never been more happy to be WHO I am than now. Impossible to pigeon-hole just about says it all, to me! Life just can’t get much better now that I’ve been blessed by finding Eva…again.

I stopped and sat spellbound listening to her, her voice was magic and brought tears to my eyes. Who was this girl with the voice of an angel. Terry went on to talk about her life and the tragedy of what had happened. I was hooked and now have all her CD’s. I cannot listen to People get ready without shedding a tear.

Message: I totally agree with Don from Lincoln, that Crystal Bowersox would be the best choice to play Eva when a movie is made. When watching Crystal perform, I have noticed (and others have too) that there is something very Eva-like in her stage presence and performing style. Ms. Bowersox is a wonderful singer, but I believe that Eva’s voice should be dubbed in. Hopefully she will not be overlooked when it is time to cast this film.

I was dreading June 30 (the last Wednesday of June 2009). I spent the day listening to Fields of Gold which is hauntingly beautiful. So beautiful. I love her music and thank God that Michelle Kwan skated to it or I would never have found out. It is not healthy, most likely, but listening to Fields of Gold gives me such a sense of peace. God bless Eva and her wonderful talents. She should become as famous as others, but I get the sense that she sang from a love of her heart and talent, rather than wanting to hit the top 40. I truly hope her family and loved ones find peace.

Message: Laura,
Once again, David Archuleta is praising Eva. His book, “Chords of Strength” just came out June 1 and it is already #15 on the NY Times bestseller list! David says on pg.196: “I realized she was someone special and that I wanted to learn to sing like she did. I wanted to be able to feel the range of emotion she demonstrated in each song she sang”. On pg. 197 “Of all the performers I have listened to, Eva Cassidy best represented the style and level of artistry that I would most aspire to. She had the whole package: She had tone, pitch, range, dynamics, and control, and she could sing any type of style from blues to folk to pop. You could totally feel her spirit when she sang and I hope someday to learn how to sing with as much expression and mastery as she did.”
When David first sang “Imagine” on AI I immediately thought of Eva and was amazed at this young man who reminded me so much of her.

Thanks for the hint. I found my old guestbook entry again. I wrote it 5 years ago, and I still love Eva’s music just as much. I guess that will never change.
It amazes me that I still find new Eva gems on her CDs all the time. I always listen to my favourite songs for a while and skip the others which I don’t like that much. Then, at some point, I suddenly feel how great the songs are that I’ve skipped in the past. Then I can’t believe that I didn’t like them from the start and they become my new favourite songs 🙂
Maybe some songs need a while to unfold completely, or they just sit there, inconspicuous, waiting for the right moment to blow someone away.
Perhaps there are still some gems hidden somewhere in the vaults of Blix Street Records, and we’ll get a new CD some time. That would be marvellous 😀

Message: Hello,
I’m a newbie when it comes to Eva Cassidy.
I only became aware of her a couple of months ago.
Unlike many of your guests, I have not acquired all of her CD’s, only “Live At Blues Alley”(I intend to add to my library,ASAP!).
I love music recorded live… live in the moment……at this moment, “Autumn Leaves” is my favourite.(Even though it isn’t mid-June yet!)I love green, but red, yellow,green and gold….sweet!
I can’t express the impact Eva’s voice and art and force has had on me, but I intend to explore.
Sincerely,
Lori Broadhead

Message: Years ago I was working on a roof and Fever came on the radio,it was a lovely view and being a Peggy Lee fan I stood up to listen to another attempt on her classic yet within seconds I had goose bumps and when she hit the top notes I was very nearly blown away.I didn’t hear who it was after and for years looked out for it.
Years later I was listening to Terry Wogan and his colleague told this story about this beautiful song and singer and they played it , of course it was “Somewhere over the rainbow” and at last I had a name for that beautiful voice.
I’m not religious but one thing I’m certain of , there is a beautiful place because that’s where that voice came from.
Lovely tribute to Eva, Thank You.

Message: Hi to Eva’s family and all her friends 🙂
I already wrote into the guestbook some years ago, but the old posts seem to have vanished.
Some years ago I randomly stumbled upon a private webpage which used “Fields of Gold” as background music. I remember the page itself was already somehow sad, but the song was what really moved me. I had never heard it before. I only knew Sting’s version. I instantly fell into love with her voice.
So that got me googling and googling for hours. After that I had ordered all her CDs and felt as if I had known her personally. It was so sad to have found out about her only after she had passed away.
Since then I’m one of her greatest fans and collected nearly every release there is, including promotional CDs, radio programmes and the original Method Actor LP.
There’s no other artist who made me crazy like that 😉
Whenever I want to give something special to a person I like, I give them a Songbird CD as a gift. And it’s always the same. After the mandatory “Who’s that ?” they’ll call me two days later just to tell me how amazed they are and that they ordered the other CDs, too 🙂
Most artists I know are either great musicians or great painters. Eva was equally gifted in both domains.
I’m really sad I never got to meet and hear her in person.
She’s got many fans here, and I’m constantly creating new ones 🙂
Much love from Germany to Eva’s family…

The words, the vocals are totally awesome, and I can FEEL the emotion in her voice. What a shame that the world had to lose such a great talent at such a young age. Her music will live on, however, and we are all better off for it.

She has a great voice and like Eva she knows who she is musically. I liked it that she very capably stood her ground when defending her song choices to the judges. I only hope that those who produce her cd (who more often than not, impose their will on Idol finalists to record the type of “commercial crap” that Eva so loathed) just let her do her thing.

Message: The way this women used dynamics was remarkable! I never got the chance to see her in concert, but I knew she had a huge desire and love for music by the way she spoke her words! She used her lyrics to tell a story in every single song with the melody as her accompaniment.
She was extremely familar and comfortable with her range, and vocal quality/tone. The way she used syncopation and repitition of words was just phenominal.
Eva had such an amazing talent with covering songs such as Wayfaring Stranger and Fields of Gold! Simply amazing and breath taking.
Her use of dynamics “made” all of her songs let alone her beautiful voice!
This woman has inspired me musically beyond all compare! I sang her version of “Autumn Leaves” for my college audition.
Like many other fans, I had no clue of her existence until after she had passed away. the first song I heard her do was “Fields of Gold”. As I wiped the tears from my face and paused the computer after the song, I had a dying urge to see her live. Later that week, I was told of her tragedy and how she fought hard against breast cancer. She is an inspiration!
Not only is she an amazing vocalist, but an amazing piano player!!!!!! Wow!!!! 🙂
Thank you Eva Cassidy for inspiring many people, including one of your biggest fans, me!

Message: This has been a revelation! One of my favorite songs is “Autumn Leaves” and by chance I found a few days ago Eva Cassidy’s version on YouTube, as I was searching for Yves Montand’s.
Then I listened to all other Eva Cassidy songs – many times. The purity of the voice, the intensity and the raw emotion were overwhelming. My favorites now are “Over the Rainbow” and “Fields of Gold”. They are unmatched.
From what I read she was a good person and a fiercely uncompromising artist. Yes this is not at all what produces that mesmerizing and arresting sensation when listening to her songs (each note matters and I catch myself holding my breath for fear of losing a note). Rather, it is her music alone. Though I listen music very much, I am a scientist, not an artist – yet listening to her takes the dross away from my mind and brings memories that I had long forgotten.
Clearly, she was a musician of the highest caliber. It is a great privilege and chance to be able to hear her music.

It is an ugly disease that holds no prisoners. Melonoma will have it’s way. Thank goodness she left these treasures of song. I listen to her and think of my brother and she brings me joy. I think this is what she would have wanted.
To the parents, I know the pain never goes away. But remember what a gift you had in you daughter.
Thanks for Eva and her ability to move people.
Sincerely,

The show was about Eva and her life; that was the first time we heard her sing “Over the rainbow” and we were hooked. I can’t do anything but sit and drink in the pure beauty of that song when she sings it. It always brings me to tears. I recently brought it to work and played it for one of my patients and we sat and cried together. What a beautiful voice, what a beautiful heart. She has to be singing with the angels. God wouldn’t want it any other way.

Message: Very rare indeed that a voice can stop you in your tracks and compel you to search its origin. Such was the case for me in 1997 during a trip to Cape Cod and an early morning coffee stop in one of its northern town cafes . Was the only customer inside at the time and the store clerk was playing her music on their system. I honestly don’t recall the actual song that was playing at the time but remember very vividly how I literally stop pouring the coffee, set my cup down, turned to the clerk and said “WHO IS THAT” when I heard her voice. Had previously considered myself in sync with a wide array of music and one of my favorite female vocalist until that day was Patti Labelle. Favorite musicians have been Pieces of a dream since the early 80’s. I had never before heard or encountered an artist who stopped me in my tracks. Left the coffee shop and walked up the street to a music store that was still closed. Waited at their front door until they opened and purchased my first Eva tape.Come to find out….she sang on my favorite groups album years back…(Good bye Manhattan-Pieces of a dream) I am only a huge Eva fan and share her music and story with others I come across who express a true interest in music and musicians, but through her voice, most immediately and surely I have always known her soul. Happy to see so many others have come to know and love her voice and arrangements.

Message: I am one of those folks who had not heard of Eva or her music until yesterday. Heard this song on WGBH Celtic Sojourn and I was stunned and intensely moved and had to listen again and again. Then came the internet searches and YouTube. I listened to every Eva recording I could and read many of the articles about her and was so amazed to find others who felt quite the same upon hearing her sing. Her phrasing and vocal quality and range are incredible but what touches your heart is the emotional power of the melody and words that she channels and completely makes her own. I am so grateful that her music is out there to be appreciated and experienced and that it did not stop with her passing. Bless her family and her friends for sharing her special gifts with the world.

“…you came my way
And a feeling of unkown shook my heart,
Made me want you to stay
All of my nights, and all of my days.
Something gotten hold of my hand
Dragging my soul to a beautiful land,
Something has invaded my night
Painting my sleep with a colour so bright
Changing the grey,and changing the blue
…..
I got to know if this is the real thing
I got to know it’s making my heart sing,
You smile and I am lost for a a lifetime
Each minute spent with you is the right time…..
(Gene Pitney & Marc Almond -” Something’s
Gotten Hold Of My Heart”)
And a completion: Eva IS the real thing.I echo Ed’s message :what have I done to deserve such beauty ?

I will disregard with contempt anyone’s attempt to say otherwise. 🙂 Eva has a voice that makes you feel guilty – Do I deserve to listen? What have I done to deserve such beauty, and at such a pittance?
Even though I doubt Eva was as shy and sweet as some would like us to think, I don’t think she had any idea the true level of her talent, making her even that much more special to me.
RIP my love.

Message: I first heard Eva’s recording a couple of years ago, and found this website tonight. There are many talented people in this world, many great singers, but this one stands way out of the crowd.
The voice is fabulous, but I believe there’s more to a great singer than a fantastic voice; there are a lot of fantastic voices. It’s the depth of the soul and spirit. This shines through Eva’s voice. I can tell, just by listening to her recordings, that she had a depth of understanding and a spirituality far beyond her years.
I sincerely hope that her family has great joy and comfort when they listen to her songs. You truly had a gem among you.

Message: I had never heard of Eva until hearing one of her albums while visiting my sister-in-law in Seattle a couple of years ago. I was mesmerized! Now I probably listen to her more than any other artist. Such a loss at such an early age.

But now I heard Eva singing it (with Katie Melua) and I began to cry, because it was so beautiful! I have never heard such a beautiful, angelic voice before. It’s…Wonderful.

Message: I never thought anyone had the right to sing “Over the Rainbow” but a young Judy Garland sitting in a black and white Kansas barnyard. When I heard Eva sing this classic song, I had tears in my eyes – and I am not a sappy person. I do believe this song sung by Eva is the most beautiful song I have ever heard in my life.
Thank you Eva, may God grant you peace as you live forever with Him “over the rainbow”.

I just found Eva by listening to Pandora radio online. I love Al Stewart, and had set up a station to listen to his historical-themed songs. Pandora plays similar music, and I started hearing all these other guys… and one girl’s voice. It was Eva. I kept asking myself everytime one of her songs came along, how did I miss her?
I will add Eva and you and your family to my prayers of thanksgiving. Peace,
Jamie

Message: For someone like me,who came to know Eva’s music and story thanks to internet and this wonderful website, it is hard to imagine that a talent of this scale, the art of such a powerful communicator (as Mr. Keith Grimes has stated) remained hidden from the large public during the life of the artist.Why did it have to be this way?-this question may naturally occur. Personally, I was even more moved when I listened to these lyrics, because I felt like I’m receiving an answer:
“Flowers cannot bloom until it is their season,
As we would not be here unless it was our destiny.”
And with her phrasing, her achingly beautiful voice …it’s magic.
“..you can only be you…i can only be me…”
Thank you for being you, dear Eva.I can only be enriched by the beauty you left on earth.

I am stunned, dumbfounded, and angry that I am only now learning of her unique and special gift. I feel like I have a hole in my heart, I am sorry I didn’t get to know you.

Anyway, this past winter has been a dark time for me. Maybe that is because I live in a cold, sometimes dark climate. I am not sure. But last night, after a hiatus, I played Eva’s music again. As always, I was reduced to tears. At the same time, I cried like a baby and, amazingly, feel so rejunated. Eva is not just genius, she is also great medicine.

Eva belongs to a rare group of true artist. Just as she painted wonderful pictures with oil and brush, so did she with lyric and tune. If you are new to hearing her, take the time to search out a video of one of her live performances. What you will experience will change you. Just as she shared her soul in sound, she does so in expression as well. Thank you Eva, for the joy, the peace, and the beautiful pictures you left for us to enjoy.

Ever since I found this website I have been going to live music (starting with the Bluemont series). It is amazing what good musicians there are out there. You just have to go find them.

Message: I’ve been an Eva Cassidy fan for years – I absolutely love her and was moved to tears the first time (and many times thereafter) that I heard her voice. Last night I went to see Mary Ann Redmond at the Harp and Fiddle in Bethesda Maryland. I’ve been meaning to do that since I first heard Eva and Mary Ann singing Tears in Heaven (see video on you tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYzrUpGSR48 it is wonderful). It was so fantastic – Mary Ann is absolutely a fabulous singer and a wonderful person. Very entertaining to watch. I encourage anyone who can take some time to go see her perform to do so – she is really great!
Thought I’d post this to 1) encourage everyone to see local music as Laura always says, and 2) tell people who might not know about that Tears in Heaven duet because it really is wonderful.
Thank you Eva and thank you Mary Ann!

Message: A truly beautiful singer. My friend introduced me to Eva’s songs almost seven years ago. I’ve smiled and cried as i’ve listened to them, not only for my own memories, but also for the fact that such a talent has been taken away too soon. Eva can soothe your soul with the emotion she puts into her songs. Maybe thats why she was put here in the first place , if only for a little while. She has left a legacy that no-one can surpass……she helps to heal the broken-hearted with a voice that calms and heals the torment in your mind…….she’s done that for me at least…..THANK YOU EVA

Dave (#3,371) – Many thanks for the ABC link – really enjoyed this mini-portrait of Eva’s career. Good to see Paul ‘Dr Wally’ Walters, too. Paul not only introduced Wogan listeners to a number of relatively obscure though brilliant artists like Eva, but was a gentle, amusing and charming contributor to Terry’s show. He, too, was sadly taken from us by cancer in 2006 at the age of 59.
God rest you both, Eva & Paul

Message: I am sad to have to tell you of the death of Matt Warne, a long-time Eva fan. He often used the screen name “Devolution.” Matt passed away suddenly in November, 2009, from an aortic aneurysm. He was 29.
Matt was the first to register the domain name “evacassidy.org” and he generously signed it over to my use in 2001, and even paid for the registration and renewals. He was a former music industry executive and cared fiercely about the need for independent music. Matt also founded a spiritual discussion forum called Spiritual Forums.
Since “Over the Rainbow” was his favorite Eva song, if you were his Internet friend, please play that song today and think of him. Here’s a link to a page of his favorite quotations: http://synergyrecords.synuk.com/users/mw/quotes.htm

She truly had the most angelic, effortless voice – and her arrangements were beautiful, inspiring, touching. I cannot for the life of me figure out how any music industry folks who heard her did not get behind her and get her the exposure that would have gotten her talent in front of the world sooner. Thinking of all the “no talents” that were being promoted at the same time. Something is not right! Thank you for this site – and everyone for keeping Eva’s music on the airwaves… and available to us via download or CD… Voice of the ages…

It’s great to see you on here. Wonderful job on Stormy Monday, by the way, and the rest of the “Live on Blues Alley” CD. Also, want to mention my step-daughter, who is at a Children’s hospital right now in Dallas. She 10 years old, but only 9 months mentally developed. She’s been through much in her life. She’s tube fed, blind, non-verbal, weighs about 35 pounds and is already past her life expectancy with the issues she has.
She’s now been there for 6 weeks on this visit and is really struggling with things that many people take for granted every day, such as digesting food. To soothe her, I like to play Eva’s music. It has a very calming affect on her and even if she is upset and crying, I will play Eva for her and she quiets down and listens to the beautiful sound of her amazing voice. Eva is one of her favorites and to make this connection with her at the hospital to remind her of home is priceless.

Message: Hello All,
My name is Keith Grimes. I played electric guitar in the Eva Cassidy Band. Because I only recently became computer literate, I was only dimly aware of the “wonderful world” of this website, and want to express my gratitude to Laura Bligh for establishing and maintaining it. ( I’m sure I have plenty of company there amongst the Eva enthusiasts.) And looking at the guestbook, I am overwhelmed by the generous, open-hearted and perceptive comments that so many of you have expressed. As some of you are aware, when we were out there playing with the band, we didn’t have a large audience, and I used to wonder why it wasn’t obvious to many, instead of just a few, how powerful a communicator Eva was. But, reading the comments of those who treasure this music has really brought home to me, in a way that reports of record sales never quite did,that the message was and is being received. So thanks, to all of you who share your thoughts and feelings in this guestbook. May you continue to do so for many years to come.
Blessings,
Keith

Message: Hi Folks,
I am writing today to express appreciation for Kent Wood, who contributed musically to several of Eva’s records. His keyboard talents were special. He had a knack for creating parts that sparkled,simultaneously enhancing and complementing the arrangements. Eva and Chuck Brown were both happy to have him as an accompanist.
Kent passed over a few years back as a result of an auto accident, and I’ve been meaning to say something about him ever since, but I’ve been hampered by not knowing, until recently, how to use a computer! Anyway, I just wanted to say that everybody in the band liked him and was glad he shared his talents with us.

Message: Wow!, what a voice. I was just listening to music on youtube and as I listened to the different artists singing bridge over troubled water, Eva’s name came up. I played her version and the rest is history. She has that thing that singers have that exalts them into greatness. that ability to summon something from within their soul and give it to the world. Only a few can find it, but you can’t teach it, she had it, she has it. Its like discovering an unknown Monet, what a masterpiece

I wanted to play Over the Rainbow at my dad’s funeral but was outvoted by my 7 brothers and sister’s. Listening to it always brings a tear to my eye, but Fields of Gold is an absolute classic and the video is stunning. A very sad end to a incomparable talent. RIP Eva Cassidy

Message: Message to Stan in Chicago: I was introduced to Eva’s music by a former co-worker and have introduced her music to many others since. Her voice has such a sultry blend of clarity, and compassion and tends to haunt the listener forever. I would like to suggest a listen to a Louisville native singer songwriter, like Eva passed long before his time. Tim Krekel, was born here in Louisville but is very well known in the circle of Nashville singer songwriters. He toured with Jimmy Buffett in the 70’s, he’s recorded 9 albums both on his own and with the groups The Sluggers, The group the Groovebilly’s and finally the TKO Band (Tim Krekel Orchestra). I knew him personally, he was a giver, not a taker, he loved his hometown of Louisville, had tremendous following and could express a deep routed fun for life , love and family. I don’t mean to take anything away from Eva, because she can make me cry almost every time I listen to Fields of Gold, Wonderful World, or Over the Rainbow. Someone stated on the website to get out and support your local artists, buy their CD’s and that’s I’m trying to do, you never know where these great artist and songwrites will end up. God Bless!

I decided to send Eva’s version of “Fields of Gold” – a song I was so moved by when I heard played on a local radio station a few years ago. My friend’s family was also profoundly touched by Eva Cassidy’s voice, so much so they’ve decided to play the song at the end of the memorial service today. Thanks Eva – and thanks to her family and friends for enabling so many people to share in the beauty of her voice.

What a gift from God! As soon as I knew of her premature death. reading her biography, I wondered and answered myself about the unfathomable plans of our Heavenly Father. I am convinced that Eva is where she belongs. She belongs to the Kingdom of Heaven. Her brief passing among us, makes us connect with Eternity. May God bless her family, especially her parents.

Message: Turning 64 on the 9th was just another day for me. That is until a friend emailed me an amazing group of animal pictures with Somewhere over the Rainbow as background music. I did not recognize the singer, but had to know who had outsung all others, so off to Limewire I went. With a tad of detective work I discovered Eva, a songstress I was unfamilar with. And now this morning I find she has left us. I am now on a mission to discover more of her works. Time after time, Fields of Gold, Songbird, each of them and more can actually bring me to tears, tears of joy though. As well as sadness that she is gone. But not totally as her music lives on. I hope no one will be offended by this statement, but Patsy Cline left us at such an early age, and now I am learning and listening to Eva. There are similarities. Amazing voices just for starters. They are doing a duet I suspect up above!!!

Message: I first heard Eva’s angelic voice about 6 years ago on the “Love Actually” soundtrack with the song “Songbird”. I was so moved by this pure voice that I had never heard before that it brought me to tears. Her voice and the lyrics of the song together, captured the deep love I have for my husband like few other songs had ever done before. When I looked at the singer’s name, I had no idea who “Eva Cassidy” was, and, I don’t know why, but I didn’t investigate it.
Then just today, I heard “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” and I recognized that angelic voice! This time I had to find out who she was. I looked at the Love Actually cd to find her name and I googled “Eva Cassidy.”
How sad I was to discover that she had passed on at the young age of 33. So much life yet to live… such a gift taken from the world.
To Eva’s family and loved ones, please know that her voice has moved me in a way that few others have. And her passing at such a young age, reminds me how grateful I should be to have reached the age of 36. Eva has inspired me to live more fully… and her songbird voice lifts me up.
Thank you, Eva

Having completely stopped to listen I asked them, “Who is that?” As if to proudly induct me into the fan club they said “Eva Cassidy” I was so disappointed to have discovered her as I suppose most of us have, posthumously. It is hardly a wonder that her stature continues to grow. Thank you Eva for leaving us such a loving legacy.

Message: Happy Birthday to Eva!
It’s good news that “Fields of Gold” will help the Haitian relief effort. She surely would have helped if she were here. The themes of some of Eva’s recordings are very much in the spirit of “We Are The World” – “Imagine” and “Golden Thread” immediately come to mind. Hope is the greatest gift!

Message: Happy Birthday, Eva! Because of you and Laura’s suggestion I have been supporting live music for the last 7 years and it has enriched my life. There are many local musicians who are very talented and will never be well known, but they can still make a living and enrich people’s lives. “There will never be another Eva Cassidy but there will be someone else”! Whenever I can, I tell people about Eva and how she has changed my life.

And when I wake up in the murky light of the coming day, I am crushed with disappointment that you’re not here, you’re gone. I wind up spending the entire day thinking about your uncommon beauty and how your last note you ever sang is eternal, a beautiful sound that echoes thru out the universe. And I’ll be thinking about your birthday being a real moment of celebration for the beautiful music you brought into this world, about how lucky we are to have received your gifts. Yet, in the words of Richard Brautigan, I remain haunted by all the space that I will live with out you. These are just words of mine, tossed out into the vastness of cyberspace, with the desperate hopes that you could actually read/hear our messages.
Happy birthday, Eva.

Message: Since first hearing Eva sing in 2003, I have been a devout fan spreading the “word” whenever possible. Over the years, I enjoyed entries in this Guestbook when new fans shared how they learned of Eva’s music and/or other Eva related stories. Here are a couple that hopefully will be of interest to you.
Over the last few months of 2009, I have made innumerable visits to our vet. with at least 1 of our 3 cats and 1 dog. The visits ended over a few short weeks before Christmas when 2 cats and the dog had to be put to sleep. It was an emotional period for us as well as the vets and technicians as they have contributed to their care for 6, 18 and 8 years respectively. I thought a gift for them would be appropriate. What better gift then introducing folks to Eva’s music! Fortunately, when I placed my last order with Margret and Anette at evacassidy dot not org., I ordered several extra cd’s. So I wrapped a “Songbird” and took it to the vet. clinic.
When the young vet on duty opened it, she gave me a look which I expected was a “who is this?”. How wrong I was. She said that Eva was her dad’s favorite and, in fact, had named his new cat “Cassidy”. She said this would be an opportunity for her and the whole staff to become more familiar with Eva’s music as they would be playing the cd over the clinic’s sound system. I will be checking on them about that.
When I go to my haircut appointments, if Eva isn’t playing when I arrive, as soon as they see me someone runs to the cd player and puts Eva on. Several years ago, when I suggested that they should play Eva’s music (I had brought a cd with me), I was told they already had one of her cd’s that they enjoyed regularly. So now they make sure its on when I am there.
I am committed to “spreading the word” at every opportunity. As Eva fans, you already know that it is not a chore and the reward is priceless.

And all my friends from my band become fans of Eva Cassidy! I Spent lots of time listening music from all kind of bands, and when I get beeing bored with the quality of the new songs that become to the market! I stop and listen Eva Cassidy. It works like a therapy.
A lot of musical quality, joined to a voice soft and sweet but extremly strong.
For me Eva Cassidy voice is one of the voices that make my skin become like we say arround here “chiken skin”. She deserve to be admired and has his name in the stars.
Eva Cassady tanks for pleseant us with your talent! You are eternal!
P.S. Sorry for my english.

Message: First let me say Thank You, for maintaining this site, bringing her to the world. Her voice is amazing! She touches my heart everytime I listen, I feel as if I know her. Sometimes I sing her songs to her, in the hopes that I can make her feel half of what she gives me. If I had one wish, it would be that I could look her in eyes and say “thank you” then rap my arms around her. For those of you that knew her and love her, I am sorry for your loss. She was a gift sent from God and He called her home. With Love and Peace, Joyce.

Message: A friend gave me “Live At Blues Alley” for my birthday. Until then I had no idea who Eva was. Now she’s one of my favorite singers. What a tragedy she is no longer with us, but what a tremendous gift she left us all. Thank you for building and maintaining this site. I’m going to go spread the word!!

The first time I ever heard about Eva and her music was on the television – I believe it was a documentary. I heard her voice and it touched my heart.
Thank you for taking the time to create this website and give us information about her, the band and her life.
All of you who knew her were blessed and we are blessed to hear her music.

I would like to thank Chris Biondi & the band for their heartfelt completion of the song “Somewhere”. The Bagpipe element was especially moving. The emotion of Eva & The Band shines. I can’t even imagine how hard that session was for the Band. I hope you felt Fulfilled by the result. Again a special thank you to the Band.
Also, it was great to hear the solo songs on the album. I hope to learn how to play her wonderful version of Summertime.

I’m loving ALL of Eva’s songs- wishing for more~
Haven’t posted here for a few years… but I am glad to see that this Eva site is still going strong and that new fans are still coming to Eva and her band’s wonderful music.
Special thanks to YOU Laura for keeping this site up and running and adding fresh material from time to time. Would be nice to have a few more pictures of Eva and friends once in a while… and maybe some updates on what’s going on with Eva’s family and friends…
( like Dan- or her folks, or members of the band. )
Anyhow- keep up the good work…
And folks- remember to GO OUT, and listen to some live music- while there will never be another Eva, there are a LOT of good musicians out there- all offering their musical talent for us to discover.
Blessings~ as we listen and remember.

Hello. I just discovered this wonderful site and am exited to share my thoughts about Eva with all. She has been a wonderful inspiration to my daughter over the years. My daughter Meg and I discovered Eva about 8 years ago as Meg loves singing standards and covers. Meg was 15 at the time. She is a very accomlished singer in her own right and has sung Songbird at many many Weddings and concerts. She will be doing an Eva Cassidy Tribute Concert this winter in this area and I’m sure more than once after people hear the music. I am proud to say the Eva Cassidy is fairly well known in our town now since Meg has introduced Eva’s music to this area.

I know that this is not a political site and I respect that. As an Eva fan, my heart goes out to the residents of Haiti who have suffered far more than any people should. God bless them in their recovery from this horrible disaster. I do believe that Eva would have sent them similar wishes.

I was reading some fanficiton a couple years ago and the author included a few lyrics from one of Eva Cassidy’s songs (and mentioned her as the artist) so I looked up the song and instantly loved her voice. I really enjoy listening to her mellow voice. If I’m in a good mood it keeps the smile on my face and if I’m not in a good mood it either calms me down or makes me feel like it’s okay to shed a couple tears. It’s such a tragedy that she’s no longer around to make new music, but I can be content with just loving the stuff she made while she was here.

I first hear Eva’s beautiful and powerful voice Christmas 2009 because my mom was given “Songbird” as a gift. I was curious because I had never heard of this person with this amazing voice that gave me chills! It was only when I opened the inside of the cd to find out more that I learned Eva had passed away. I was so sad that such a talented young woman lost her life at such an early age. But I am so glad I discovered her music! I now have 2 of her cd’s and love them both!

I heard Eva for the first time, while visiting friends in Salt Lake City last month. My friend Colleen, played this song for me and it touched my deepest soul. She then told me about how her hairdresser turned her on to Eva. How Eva had passed at such a young age, and how her parents had found a way to get her music and her spirit to the masses. This comment is to her parents. You raised any incredible human being. Thank you for recognizing her contribution to the music world and to us the music lovers. I am forever a fan of yours, for sharing your wonderful gift with the rest of us. Eva will live forever through my family…

Having watched her for the first time ever on You Tube tonight, it was with great sadness when I read in a bio page that she had passed away many years ago. In listening to her voice, it was as if the world was cheated because of the short time she was here on earth. A one of a kind voice you only hear once in a lifetime…heartbreaking.

My brother in law died in 1999 of colon cancer. My wife and I were going thru some of his things after his death and we found the Eva CD with this song on it. We immediately became avid fans. When ever I play this song I think of Allen and the joy he brought into our lives. I listen to Eva’s music often, but his song moves me the most. I think of Allen and how he left in Autumn. It always brings tears to my eyes, but they are tears of joy. Thank you Eva.

I fell asleep a few weeks ago listening to Pandora Radio on my iPod. I was awaken out of a deep sleep by Eva singing “Fields of Gold”. It was as if an angel had visited me in the night. I bookmarked the song and went back to sleep.
The next morning I downloaded from iTunes. Eva’s message to me from heaven was to live life to its fullest. Don’t let fear stop you from doing the things you love. Don’t let your fears stop you from loving your love with everything inside you.
With tears in my eyes I thank you Eva Cassidy for visiting me from heaven. I knew it! Angels do have beautiful voices.

I too am a “grass roots” fan – my D.C. area niece got me hooked on Eva several years ago, sending me “Songbird” – and warning me to listen first, then read the liner notes. I became a true collector, and have everything I can get my hands on. I read the entire screenplay…I was dubious, but admittedly I was riveted – and I loved it. Still crying my eyes out. I miss my fellow Aquarian…but she lives on through song, memory, and the love of throngs of us who have been so touched by this brilliant soul.

I have been playing this song over and over and over again for many days (off of youtube first entry) and just overwhelmed by Eva’s voice — especially these words:
When you’re down and out
When you’re on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
Cathy Bryant and all please listen to this live version and let me know if there is (are) other such moving moment as Eva voiced “when evening falls so hard”? I want to embrace her literally.

I have been listening to Eva Cassidy since 2001 when I was pregnant with my first child. I heard “Over the Rainbow” on the radio. The DJ played the song and asked listeners to please call in with their thoughts, he said she had the most beautiful voice he had ever heard. With tears streaming down my face, I couldn’t help but agree. A moment later he was saying she had passed several years prior, and boy, did the tears really start. I then bought Martha Stewarts “Baby” cd because it had Eva’s recording of “Over the Rainbow” on it. Then I found “Live at Blue’s Alley”. I have shared it with my children, friends, family and students. Listening to Eva sing brings me a calming feeling, fond memories of anticipating my first son and a slight sadness for those of you who really knew her. I can’t imagine what it must have been like for you to listen to your friend sing like that. She will not be forgotten. I will always listen to Eva.

About 7 years ago my lovely wife Rachel introduced me to this song and Eva’s story. We were drawn powerfully not realizing that a few short years later Rachel’s life song would also end early with cancer.I am sure God made Eva our friend to help me survive the loss.The world lost Rachel at 39.She left a song like Eva did,his name is Jacob and he is 5.They are powerfull women who live on and I’m sure they are friends.

Our local radio played this song yesterday. An it was strong emotion for me to listen it.
You recognizes by your heart, at once, that it is so good and beautiful, cristal-clear. I started web searching to find out who is the singer, owner of this angel’s voice, and then I’ve red, that she’s not with us. “He whom the gods love dies young”, sorrow remains.

i discovered eva’s music 5 days ago. i found her by accident doing a search on amazon for torch songs. all i can say is “where have you been all my life?!?” i cannot begin to tell you how much i love her. her voice is utterly amazing. i have sit and cried over several songs, they have touched me so deeply. i cannot believe she has gone for so long in america without the recognition she deserves. all i can say is i am so glad i found her. now i want to own everything she has done. i am buying her book today. eva, i wish you were still with us, but thank you so much for what you gave to us while you were here. i want to share her music with everyone i encounter. i’m sure there are plenty more like me out there who haven’t heard her yet, but will be so glad when they finally do.
