Eva Cassidy was born 2 February 1963. Growing up in a
musical family on the outskirts of Washington, DC, she sang
as a small child and later learned to play the guitar. Even
then as a child she had an amazing gift for perfect
harmony, and on family outings, she would sing, harmonising
perfectly with the music from the car radio. Her father, a
teacher of children with learning disabilities and a
part-time musician, formed a family band with Eva, her
brother Danny, on violin, and himself on bass. She endured
school, preferring her own company and, whenever possible,
being involved with music and painting.
In 1986 she did the art work for a projected album by a
band, Method Actor, led by a friend, Dave Lourim. She was
asked to sing on the album and was heard by pro More...

------ About artist/band Eva Cassidy
How is this angel not a household name across the world! I am a 44 year old man, and just 10 minutes ago was tesaring up like a little girl! I am a musician, and I want to go on record by saying that Eva Cassidy was right up there with aretha, whitney, and all others that when listening to them, you drift off to wherever they take you, and she had the voice to change a mood, that is very rare! I just wish to God that I knew her. Even after 13 years of not having her here with us, she is still in my thoughts, and I will forever inform people about her. Rest in peace Eva, and know that we miss you dearly!
Thank you Eva | Reviewer: Rob Andrews
------ About the song Danny Boy performed by Eva Cassidy
the music to Danny Boy was my school song music, I have forgotten the lyrics, but who would want to remember them after hearing Eva Cassidy singing Danny Boy, no other artist can come close to the heart felt passion and love that Eva imparts so effortlessly on this classic song. "A real tear jerker" This will be my number one funeral song, if they don't cry for me ..They'll cry for Danny and his love.
I first learned of eve when I saw her on when A
television show was doing a small piece and then
played Eve's cover of Over the Rainbow. The beauty of Eve's voice brought me to tears. I couldn't believe the soft clarity and then the power that she brought to that wonderful song.
When I learned her full sad story my tears were flowing again. Sadly I only own one of Eve's CD's but tomorro I'll go on a quest for more.
I love you Eve

two hearts--hers and God's | Reviewer: nancy
------ About the song I Wandered by a Brookside performed by Eva Cassidy
I get a different take on this than the one posted. The two hearts were hers and God's. It seems to depict her walk through life with only the beating of her own heart but at the end she felt the touch of God and their two hearts beat as one. A good illistration of God taking us into eternity.
My mum and I listen to Eva all the time. We really love her voice and realy apeciate her. Eva is a true insperation to everyone who has heard of her or he music. I have a real passion for dance and as i am still in scchool I choose dance as one of my subjects,as a big part of my G.C.S.E in dance I have been asked to create a dance to music of my choice. I am strongly concidering using Eva Cassidy's life and her music for this and will most probly end up doing so. R.I.P Eva love Dee Dee xxx
This is the most heart felt song I've ever experienced. I just shared it with my wife we both just listened and cried. I only knew her after she was gone. But she is beautiful and her brief time here with all of those who knew her truly was a gift from God. I wish I could have known her to. As a muscian i sit and play her songs for hours they open up a new insight on the life that surrounds me and blessings in my life. My wife and children and my grand children.

------ About the song I Know You by Heart performed by Eva Cassidy
The lyrics are alive in my mind and heart even at 87 years ...and speak for ALL of the true loves I have ever had the priviledge to experience, Evas' voice creates an aura of an Aurora Borealis in my memory bank.

------ About the song Fields of Gold performed by Eva Cassidy
I honestly thought Sting was the writer, but this song seems it was written to someone special preparing for a departure, always loved Eva's haunting melody and such beautiful voice. God Bless Her
When i heard Eva's version of "Over the Rainbow" it was, as with many of the songs she sings, a revelation. I love the way she explores the harmonic potential of a song and reveals beauty that was latent there. Yet not only is she a genius with harmony, but also with the way she regulates the power of her exquisite voice; sometimes soft and delicate -- almost a whisper, then powerful, as needed for the interpretation of the song. And if that's not enough, she has a sincerity in her delivery that's rare -- she feels every word she sings. It's this sincerity that has often brought tears to my eyes listening to her music.
The first time I heard Eva Cassidy sing is a moment I'll never forget. I listen to her recordings often and and each time they touch me deeply. Her life certainly does "live on in endless song" and I feel fortunate that I was given the gift of having her beautiful music.

------ About artist/band Eva Cassidy
We got a cd of Eva from our neighbours with the comment, don't ask just listen. We never heard of her before. As we started listening we were kind of surprised for we felt some emotion coming up somewhere. Only by listening to her great clear voice we experienced that music had an extra dimension which we never felt before.
No other artist is capable of being so close to you when you listen to her music, she even touches you while she's singing.
Really breathtaking.
Thank you Eva

------ About artist/band Eva Cassidy
I have never heard or listened to any voice like that of Eva Cassidy. She amazes me, the compassion that is transferred from her to me as she sings the words. It's as if she knows something about my soul. I sing, but I do realize it would be impossible for me to ever think I could even come anywhere near close to her vocals; style, quality, depth, & again, that "feeling transfer" she has of making you feel the way you do when you hear her. I am sure she must be with God's angels looking after all of us. We can only thank God for angels like Eva. ~ God rest your soul until we meet again ~

------ About the song Yesterday performed by Eva Cassidy
An emotional song from a truly inspirational artist. Her performances of all hers and other artists songs have been absolutly outstanding... though in my view this is one of her best songs as the lyrics show the vulnerable side of her life.
