    Default Eva Holbrook and Shel. Live at Lightning 100.

    JazzMando What's New - It's been almost five years since we saw the lovely Holbrook sisters from the band SHEL live in Omaha, Nebraska. We caught up with the Colorado Springs ladies, Sarah, Hannah, Eva, and Liza in this terrific live acoustic radio performance captured by WRLT radio in Nashville between recording sessions.
    Eva has been one of our favorite young talents, her writing and vocal skills, creative instrumental orchestrations, and of course her dynamic electric mandolin prowess is legendary.

    And you get her album for $189.00.

    Bet that's supposed to be $18.90.

    Love these kids.

    In the interest of accuracy, I believe they are from Fort Collins not Colorado Springs. Not a huge deal except for those who live in Colorado and know the difference. :-)

    All here at the Cafe, at least some of us from Illinois, Ohio and Florida, who have read the thread "Women with Mandolins" know they are from Fort Collins. Right Ed and Journeybear.

    I clicked all the way through on the price and it didn't change. The third party seller has it listed as used with only one available. I wonder if it some kind of artist's special or studio edition or something? Also, it looks like the seller (Jenson Books) specializes in rare and out of print editions. Interesting...

    Thought I would like her CD. But at that price you can have Eva design three top hats.

    Wish I could get a good view of what Eva is using for a pick. If you stop the vid on 0:29 it almost looks like an eraser, thick and square.

    Wow, "Tuscany" by Eva on the random MP3 today. Just awesome playing.

    And she plays just as good live. Saw and talked to her at a concert in December.

    SHEL on NPR radio now in Wyoming. http://tunein.com/tuner/?IgnoreStrea...gramId=49438&#



    Neat.. Sang 4 songs. One new song titled "Freckles". Would be great to be at the University of Wyoming student union tonight at 8 for their free show.

    Thanks for the link, Rodney. Wonderful stuff!
    Eva Holbrook's mandolin playing is tasteful, precise, smart, joyous, and first and foremost serves the songs.
    In my opinion, our wonderful little instrument would be much more popular if it were used like this more often.
    Fantastic.

    I'm still amazed with her playing. No way these arthritic fingers of mine will ever come close.

    Just downloaded SHEL's EP "The Dragon Came Down". It's available in itunes along with their "Mad King"-EP. If anyone is interested. NFI for me. Just love the dynamics (and the mando) in their songs and think others will too.

    They are now members here in the Cafe and have posted some of their performing dates on the Cafe Event Calender. Hope they took the "Folk Alliance International" this last weekend by storm.

    Eva's solo CD is probably out of print. I recall that she put her solo career on ice when it started to look as though her band was going to get signed to a record deal.

    You can hear Tuscany and one other cut from the solo CD at Eva's MySpace page:
    http://www.myspace.com/evaholbrook/music

    Glad I got a copy of the solo CD when I did.
