WONDERFUL WORLD– This is a second anthology album featuring selected songs from the albums LIVE AT BLUES ALLEY, TIME AFTER TIME, IMAGINE, and AMERICAN TUNE, released in 2004. One can view it as a companion to SONGBIRD. Refusing to bend her music to the industry's conventions and expectations, Eva was known only within the DC area during her lifetime. She left behind one live album, a duet album, and various studio demos and live recordings. In these intervening 16 years, Eva's music has proven timeless and universal. Crossing all boundaries – musical, cultural, geographical – her voice survived and is finding new listeners every day in every corner of the earth. Born on February 2, 1963, at the Washington Hospital Center in Washington, D.C., [3] Cassidy grew up in Oxon Hill, Maryland, and later Bowie, Maryland. She was the third of four children. Her father, Hugh Cassidy, is a teacher, sculptor, musician, former army medic, and world champion powerlifter of Irish and Scottish descent, while her mother, Barbara ( née Kratzer), is a German horticulturist from Bad Kreuznach. [2] [4] [5] From an early age, Cassidy displayed interest in art and music. When she was nine, her father began teaching her to play the guitar, and she began to play and sing at family gatherings. [4]

The desire to use her live recordings from the 1996 concert meant that technology was required to make her voice clear and separate it from the noise that would be happening in a live club. a b c d e f g Dalphonse, Sherri (May 1, 2001).

[6] This band performed in a variety of styles at weddings, corporate parties, and pubs. Due to her shyness, she struggled with performing in front of strangers. [7] While a student at Bowie High School, she sang with a local band called Stonehenge. [4] During the summer of 1983, Cassidy sang and played guitar six days a week at the theme park Wild World. [4] Her younger brother Dan, a fiddler, was also a member of this working band. She enrolled in art classes at Prince George's Community College but dropped out after finding them unhelpful. [8]
