Music is supposed to be an emotional outlet. For the last few years we have been bombarded with radio friendly 'rock' which exists for no other reason than to make the already convoluted music scene a nightmare to sift through. There are people out there that still believe music exists on a different level, one where we can connect with each other on a basic level of raw emotion and common ground. These are the countless like-minded people that have inspired us to create 'Eva '. While mastering the art of truly emotional music with a slant towards the melancholy, this five piece female fronted band captivates you with their energetic and utterly entertaining live show. To feel what it's like to share someone else's raw emotion is seeing Eva.
Based out of Long Island, New York, Eva was formed in 2003 by long time writing partners Rebekka Carol and Brian Lupo. Through the last few years performing acoustic at just about every venue on Long Island and completing two independent CD's, they decided to expand the aural sound scape they could bring to their audience. With the able abilities of Steve Goldstein on guitar, Chris Petchonka on bass guitar and Eric Rucker on drums, Eva was born.
While being the vocalist, lyricist and acoustic guitarist, Rebekka has been inspired mainly by her experiences on the road as a young runaway. Playing since she was twelve years old and having been influenced by bands such as Pink Floyd, The Cranberries, Tori Amos and local heroes Dearly Departed, she still focuses on her originality with writing partner and acoustic/electric guitarist Brian Lupo.
Now finishing up their first CD, Eva captivates their audience with honest and creative emotional music. Having shared the stage with such bands as Sponge & David Johansen (a.k.a. Buster Poindexter), they are currently engaged in an east coast tour.
