Special Guest, Eva James
“Unquestionably one of the most captivating new voices in contemporary dark pop,” (Guitar Girl Magazine) Eva James delivers her debut album Earth To Eva, produced by Paula Cole, as both a confessional and a rebirth. A stunning exploration of the human condition that has since surpassed 100,000 streams, the album is darkly anthemic and unapologetically honest — delving into mental health, chronic illness, anxiety, and the labyrinth of toxic relationships.
Winner of the Gloucester 400th Anniversary Singer-Songwriter Challenge (2023) and recipient of the Eastern Front Songwriter Grantfrom Club Passim (2025), James has earned acclaim from WHYTT, Authority, and KALTBLUT Magazine. Critics hail Earth To Eva as “catharsis pressed into sound” (New Music Alert) and “awash in memorable dark pop surfaces and Eva James’s sorceress voice” (Ink19 Magazine), cementing her as a dark-pop force with a story that testifies to survival.
With a growing audience and an undeniable presence, Eva James continues to carve out a space uniquely her own.
