Evalina Everidge
Her love for jazz started from the crib when her uncle serenaded her on trumpet with jazz ballad lullabies! Throughout her childhood she performed songs at parties and family gatherings from the Great American Songbook and Blues and Big Band records that filled her home. By the time she was a young adult, you could find her in coffee houses from D.C to Berkeley, NYC to Amsterdam, performing folk tunes and music of the times; she subsequently joined an all-girl R&B/Rock band.
Ms. Everidge went on to express herself in musical theater and worked for a decade as half of a Roots and Blues duo in South Florida. After an extended hiatus she has at last come full circle, back to her first love, embracing once again the timeless music of the Jazz and Blues Divas. You can find her performing at venues throughout WNC and bringing her audiences along in the celebration!
