Eva Cassidy fans, listen up – there’s something interesting going on in The Netherlands, it’s an Eva Cassidy tribute CD and tour by Dutch vocalist Margriet Sjoerdsma. And there’s an important twist with the live tour: it features brilliant violinist Dan Cassidy, Eva’s brother. Check it out here:
I just learned of this tour this morning. If you happen to be in Rotterdam tonight, you can check out their live performance at the Lantaren/Venster theater.
Or tomorrow night at the Junushoff.
Margriet’s official website lists upcoming shows here.
Here’s some more video, this was taken during the making of the CD:
Dutch news site Muziek Theater Paradijs published an article on April 15 about the tour:
* Here is the original Dutch version of the article
* Here is the same article translated into English using Google Translate.
Margriet does a great job and the stamp of approval from Dan Cassidy, a brilliantly talented musician in his own right, is a strong endorsement. Some of you may recall that Dan Cassidy performed in the past with the legendary Eva, Larry Melton, Todd Bauchspies, and others.
It’s been a while since I’ve posted something here at Skere9, but it’s not for lack of material, it’s just really busy here!
Best wishes to you all for a meaningful Good Friday.
