Set list: Eva — tales from the life of Eva Cassidy
UPDATE: My review for The Australian is on-line, here.
UPDATE: Production photographs added.
Apparently 1000 tickets sold to this show before it had any press whatsoever. Clare Bowditch fans would follow her anywhere. And, hell, why not? She’s a brilliant choice for a show like this... a born story-teller and a great great voice. And she has a ball. It’s her karaoke show!
Clare Bowditch channels Eva Cassidy
The show opened last night at the Athenaeum. My review’s on the way. (You’ll have to wait until it’s in print. Probably Monday.) In the meantime, here's a run down of the Cassidy songs performed by Bowditch, Ashley Naylor and the ‘Blues Alley Band’.

Fantastic! Beautiful! Inspiring! Moving and just Brilliant Claire embodies Eva like I don't believe anyone else quite could, with her own quirk and stamp on the song stylists classic renditions Claire gets the balance of imitation and originalit Absolutely spot on! Thankyou!
You went as an Eva Cassidy fan rather than a Clare Bowditch fan? Either way, I couldn't agree more.
Someone like Melody Gardot could do some of Eva's repertoire superbly, but I can't think of another singer who could do the entire range. :D
One of the most brilliant shows I've ever seen. Did justice to Eva's story, with wit, passion and sensitivity. And an incredible range of songs, originally and beautifully interpreted by Eva, were simply wonderful in Clare's hands also. Well done!
