CD Release party in Berkeley

Hello everyone!!!

We had a huge successful evening for our CD of "To Eva With Love" release in Berkelely, CA at The Jazzschool! It was overly sold out, standing room only and the venue was turning people away.

Many of the people who came were Eva Cassidy fans and of course our friends and family were all there! It was such a warm and enthusiastic audience, really touching. Eva Cassidy fans came up to us after and said that we captured the spirit and essence of Eva with out it copying or sounding like what she did. That was the biggest compliment because that is what we meant to do.

We had an Eva alter at the front of the room with her picture and some candles and flowers. We also had a picture of her on stage that Ami and I could see as we sang. We sang all the songs from the "To Eva With Love" with the original band, Wayne Wallace, John Santos, David Belove, David Flores, Simon Rochester and Vince Mellone.

Highlights of the day were being on the front page of the Datebook in SF Chronicle, being mentioned as the #1 thing to do on NPR, selling out the show and meeting Eva Cassidy fans we had never met before. We sold lots of CDs and autographed them. It was a wonderful night to remember!

Next show is in Santa Cruz at Kuumbwa 1/29/11. Hope to see you there!
