With sold out tours across Australia and New Zealand, Bloom is highly applauded as “one of Australia’s finest vocalists”, some even placing her in the same company, vocally, of those very artists she pays tribute to in her stage productions ‘Adele & Amy Winehouse Songbook’ and the ‘Stevie Nicks, Carole King & Linda Ronstadt Songbook’.
Bloom, also a recording artist in her own right, now extends her focus toward another soulful musical powerhouse – Eva Cassidy. Eva’s soul-stirring voice came to prominence in 1998 after her renditions of “Fields of Gold” and “Over the Rainbow” were released… two years after her passing, succumbing to Melanoma at age 33.
Sadly, her inability to be signed by a record label, unsure of how to market her eclectic repertoire, meant Eva only released one solo album in her lifetime – Live at Blues Alley – an album she recorded and self-released in 1996. It wasn’t until 1998 that her posthumously released recordings would pique the interest of the small West Coast folk music label Blix Street Records. Her first posthumously released album, “Songbird”, became a major international hit and earnt the songstress subsequent #1 albums across the globe, selling in excess of 12 million sales worldwide.
This September, Bloom will once again enthral audiences across the country with her incredible all-star band to bring to life all of Eva’s hits including “Songbird”, “Time After Time”, “Fields of Gold”, “Over The Rainbow” and many more.
Cassidy’s story is an emotional journey that is both heart-warming and fascinating. Bloom will have you mesmerised by an artist who was quietly the perfectionist and one who toiled in relative obscurity, but whose body of work is timeless and continues to thrive to this very day.
