    Eve Selis (Saturday, May 31, 2014)

    Image description
    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).

    "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.

    Thanks, and announcing Maia Sharp at frogstop (August 16)

    Thanks to everyone who attended our 2014 season opener last night. As always, Berkley Hart delivered the goods. Couldn't have been better!

    Last night we announced an exciting addition to our 2014 lineup: Maia Sharp will join us here on August 16.

    Several of you mentioned seeing Maia open for Bonnie Raitt. Maia's songs are extraordinary, and have been recorded by a range of artists including Bonnie Raitt, Keb' Mo', The Dixie Chicks, Lisa Loeb and Art Garfunkel. And her own performances are as strong as the songs. As noted by the New York Daily News, "Bonnie Raitt often covers Sharp's songs, and no wonder. She writes melodies wide enough to let singers show their range, with lyrics that cut to the bone. Here Sharp proves she has the goods to do all that on her own."

    We really believe you won't want to miss this one. Much more information is available on the Maia Sharp website.  For reservations, go to frogstop reservations.

    "Maia Sharp conjures the allure of yesteryears Brill Building luminaries....Sharp wields her crisp, alluring choruses like a temptress; listeners will surely be ensnared. Her tear-soaked lyrics and high-cresting melody conspire for a finely crafted lesson on invincible pop."
