Tracy Drach & Eve Goodman @ Back Stage Bar

Although rooted in the folk tradition, Eve's music has a distinctly modern twist. There's a plain-spoken realism to her lyrics. Rendered with an eye for detail and an empathetic heart her songs bring a universal quality to personal musings while her lyric edge is underscored by a feel for well-shaped melodies. What brings it all home is Eve's exceptionally fluent and powerful 6 and 12-string acoustic guitar work, combined with her resonant and expressive vocal style. She'll mix her originals with a well-chosen covers, from a Ledbelly blues to a standard like Pennies From Heaven. Her performances are intimate and unaffected, letting the honesty and eloquence of her music do the talking.
