Eve Goldberg

A trademark mixture of folk, blues, country, bluegrass, old time, and jazz. www.evegoldberg.com

…a pure and pleasing voice and a performance style that knows no bounds.”
Toronto Star

“If you enjoy [Cathy] Fink’s music, or that of Mary Chapin Carpenter or Terri Allard, then give Goldberg a listen.”
Dirty Linen Magazine

Imagine a kitchen party where Mother Maybelle Carter, Ella Fitzgerald, Mississippi John Hurt, Bessie Smith, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, and Patsy Cline show up, and you begin to get a sense of what it feels like inside songwriter Eve Goldberg’s head. Never one to restrict herself to one genre of music, Eve has performed her trademark mixture of folk, blues, country, bluegrass, old time, and jazz in venues ranging from small house concerts to the prestigious Kennedy Center in Washington DC since 1990.

Eve was born in the Boston area but has called Toronto, Ontario home since 1981. As a child, she was dragged to folk concerts by the likes of The Weavers, Doc Watson, Arlo Guthrie, the Watersons, and countless others. Eventually it sank in, and as a teenager she began to devour all kinds of contemporary and traditional roots music. She began performing in 1990, and hasn’t looked back since. Along the way she’s earned the respect of legendary musicians like Peggy Seeger, Geoff Muldaur, and Penny Lang.

Her watercolour voice and solid guitar style has become a favourite at festivals, folk clubs, and concert series across Canada and the US. With an equal passion for traditional music, and for the art of songwriting and interpretation, Eve’s performances are intimate and relaxed, moving effortlessly from folk classics to original gems, all wrapped up in her clear, pure voice and dynamic guitar playing. She has released two albums to widespread acclaim — 1998’s “Ever Brightening Day” released on her own Sweet Patootie Music label, and 2003’s “Crossing the Water,” released by Borealis Records. Her instrumental tune “Watermelon Sorbet” was used for years as the opening theme to the popular CBC national radio show “Richardson’s Roundup.”

Her new album “A Kinder Season” is due to be released in September on Borealis Records (US Release: Jan 9, 2007). Recorded in the months after her mother’s death, the album is a remarkable personal testament to the joy and hope that lurks somewhere beyond the heartache, and the sweetness that can be found even in the bitterest seasons of life. Produced by Ken Whiteley, “A Kinder Season” features twelve new originals that firmly establish Eve as a compelling and thoughtful writer whose songs draw honey from the rock of human experience. “As far as I’m concerned, Eve Goldberg is on the verge of riches. Big name folks would want to get hold of this stuff!”
Geoff Muldaur, musician

Reviews

Sing Out!

“If you enjoy [Cathy] Fink’s music, or that of Mary Chapin Carpenter or Terri Allard, then give Goldberg a listen.”
