Eve Selis is one of our favorite performers, giving her all to each performance. And Eve is one of our favorite people as well, always ready to lend her support to a worthy cause. We count ourselves fortunate to be welcoming her back to frogstop this year.

"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."
BBC Radio Legend Sir “Whispering Bob” Harris

"The most requested local artist in the history of our station."
Robert Hughes, Station Manager, KPRI, 102.1FM San Diego

“The Eve Selis Band erupted in an acute explosion of Americana, wailing and twanging and thundering and throbbing, conjuring demons and angels alike. Damn, that woman can sing!”
Buddy Blue - Blue Notes

“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 power of Selis’s voice can arc-weld material from almost any genre into a personal manifesto.”
John D'Agostino - Taylor Guitars On Review.

This is one of our most well-attended concerts each year, and with good reason: Eve Selis is an exciting presence on stage, bringing great songs and outstanding musicians to each show. This year Eve will again be accompanied by bandmate and songwriting partner Marc "Twang" Intravaia, and we think we'll be seeing another member of the Eve Selis Band (just can't say who quite yet).

We've scheduled four concerts as our 2014 season series, and we'll be keeping an eye out for opportunities to host additional special events. The concerts are:

We'll post additional information as each concert approaches, but in the meantime you can make reservations from our reservations page, or just visit our home page. Look forward to seeing you at frogstop in 2014!

The first year Eve Selis was here at frogstop she performed with her songwriting partner, Marc "Twang" Intravaia. Last year Eve and Marc were back, along with the band's other guitarist extraordinaire, "Cactus" Jim Soldi. This year we're excited all over again, because Eve, Marc and Jim will be joined by bandmate Sharon Whyteon keyboards, accordian, and vocals. (And yes, we're hoping this means one year we'll see Rick Nash and Larry Grano here, too!)

As those of you who attended know, last night's concert was fantastic. (Thank you, Eve, Marc and Jim!) But I want to praise the attendees. What a wonderful group of people! Cathy and I are always impressed by the great folks who walk in the door for these house concerts. And last night was as good as it gets; everyone was so supportive and helpful. One guest took it on himself to get a balky patio lamp working (he wasn't even sitting by the lamp himself); and everyone cleaned up and stacked chairs as they left (without being asked). I found only one tiny scrap of paper in the yard this morning. Anyway: a pleasure.

We also had a couple of people ask about helping out at future concerts. I'm sorry to say I didn't stop to write down names, so please feel free to remind me if you're still game.

Shout-outs to Chiara Sutton (our teenage stage lighting control wizard) and to Erica Brucia, last night's indoor organizational goddess.

We last hosted Eve Selis here at frogstop in 2008 (our inaugural year!), and we are so excited to welcome her back this year. Eve will be joined by her songwriting partner (20th year anniversary this year!) Marc "Twang" Intravaia and "Cactus" Jim Soldi (ex-Johnny Cash band), two of the finest guitarists you could hope to see onstage together. Eve and the band’s recent UK tour was highlighted by a performance at the legendary Abbey Road studios.

We flew out of town the day after the concert (a pleasure trip), and returned a few days ago to finish the clean-up (an activity that generally falls somewhere below the pleasure line). So this is the first chance we've had to update the site.

But what a terrific concert! Eve is such an outstanding singer, and Marc is just immensely talented. And such great songs!

One of the big post-concert pleasures for us is hearing from folks who attended. This time, from J&K:

Eve and Mark's concert was fantastic! The sound system, lighting, seating, and every last detail was handled perfectly. We'd like to thank you for opening your beautiful home to us for the evening and for all of the hard work you obviously put into the preparations and refreshments. We hope to have an opportunity to do it again!Cathy managed to get a few photos during the concert (go to the Gallery to see these), and a very short (35-second) video:

Looking forward to seeing you all at the next concert. Stay tuned!

We had hoped to be able to have Eve Selis at frogstop, and our hopes have been exceeded. On Saturday, August 16, frogstop  presents a very special show: Eve Selis and Marc "Twang" Intravaia (Eve's songwriting partner since the early 90's) will offer an intimate evening concert. We love the full band and will go to see them again and again, but we think this is a rare opportunity to hear these outstanding artists perform as a duo.



A gifted songwriter and electrifying performer, Eve Selis is well-known both to the San Diego music scene and to those lucky enough to have seen her on tour. Her voice is regularly lauded by critics as nothing short of a masterpiece: passionate, melodic, raspy and sweet, with a phenomenal range rarely heard in pop music.

This multi-award winner has headlined coast to coast, from the House of Blues in Hollywood to the legendary Bitter End in NYC. She has shared the stage with such notables as B.B. King, Albert Lee, the Doobie Brothers, Joan Osborne, Crosby, Stills and Nash among many others.
