Back by popular demand - Tanja Storm pays tribute to Eva Cassidy.

Eva Marie Cassidy was an American singer known for her interpretations of Jazz and Blues.   She

was practically unknown outside her hometown, until her posthumous recognition...  

Somewhere Over the Rainbow, Fields of Gold and Songbird were but a few of the songs she

delivered so beautifully, until her passing in 1996.  

 

Tanja Storm is a multi-talented and skilled vocalist, instrumentalist and musical director. She

released her debut album in 2009, with her first music video, “Tevergeefs”,  being broadcast on

KykNet. Recently returning to a recording studio after years of successful projects with various

cover bands and theatre work, numerous of her latest singles have hit number 1 on our local SA

music charts. Her much anticipated second music video, Môreson”, was also broadcast on

KykNet and her new album, titled "Ek is Oppad" was released in July 2019. She has shared

stages with some of SA's top artists and now she pays tribute to Eva Cassidy.

The Eva Cassidy Story is a heart-tugging tribute and live concert experience that journeys

through Eva's incredible catalogue of work. This show features all of Eva's greatest hits

performed by the diverse Tanja Storm and fellow musicians, Charlie Winter & MoT.

Sit back and allow yourself to be transported back in time on this nostalgic journey.


Reviews:

"A very special, multi-faceted and talented young lady who is driven by a love for what she does

-and it shows. She also has a magnificent voice and knows how to use it whether rocking flat out

or crooning a gentle balled. Miss her and miss out!"

"Well presented and put together. Trio worked well together with humour coming through. Eva

Cassidy is very hard to emulate as she had such a unique range and style."

"It was the first time that I listened to Tanja Storm - and what a pleasure it was, especially her

renditions of Eva Cassidy's wonderful type of singing. Also, her simultaneous accompaniment on

the piano was top-class. I also am a pianist of sorts and can assure you that she could have

embarked on a career relying solely on her pianist skill - and to accompany your own singing is

no mean achievement."


Audience Responses

It was a truly memorable show and I enjoyed to hear the Eva Cassidy songs and story again! Tanja Storm & her "helpers" were really great. The one speaker on the right of the patrons were crackling and quite irritating. We also struggled to find your new door ... sat parked outside your old unit for 15 min until someone else came to tell us that you have moved. You need to put a sign up on your old location, please

Excellent show by very talented people! (I had fun putting together a 40min video - for my own use only - of the show. If the artist is infested in getting a copy for themselves feel free to contact me)

didnt think she had a particularly great voice and the sound was a bit "Thin"- maybe it would have been a bit better if I had sat in the middle. Just my opinion

Personally I didn't think her voice suited Blues/Jazz style music. There was not enough depth and "soul" - however, i did enjoy her last 2 songs which clearly are more her style, she was much more animated and enjoying the songs.

Tanya could have performed as a soloist without guitar support. She has a beautifully controlled vocal range.

As title suggested "story" -we expected more facts/stories about her life - and less music But show was great and we really enjoy singing and guitar music!

It is the first time that I listened to Tanja Storm - and what a pleasure it was, especially her renditions of Eva Cassidy's wonderful type of singing. Also, her simultaneous accompaniment on the piano was top-class. I also am a pianist of sorts and can assure you that she could have embarked on a career relying solely on her pianist skill - and to accompany your own singing is no mean achievement. Her singing was great; for me she ranks as one of the very best South African artists. Her two guitarists were also excellent and provided suitable accompaniment. Finally, compliments to the owner/organiser of the Drama Factory for providing a great venue and for bringing excellent entertainment to Somerset West.

Stunning. Tanja's voice was perfect for the tribute, and her backing musicians complimented her perfectly. The atmosphere and ambience of the venue was superb and we will definitely be back in the future. Thank you.
