Eva Schubert is a singer and songwriter based in Vancouver, Canada. Inspired by jazz greats like Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, and Nina Simone, blues icons like Etta James, and — perhaps improbably — Leonard Cohen, she writes in a diverse range of styles. Her first album, “Songs for a Ladies’ Man”, is full of songs with a classic jazz appeal. The album represents a partnership with producer Paul Claxton, whom she credits with a significant degree of mind reading, and a great deal of creativity.
Her second album, “Borderless Sky”, is another original collection featuring songs with a solid jazz profile. The track “They Say” is influenced by Nat King Cole, and “Traces of You” has classic jazz trumpet. There is even a bossa nova track. Other songs branch outside of classic jazz into a more folk experience, inviting the listener into an evocative soundscape of acoustic guitar, cello, and mandolin.
The third collection of songs, called “Hot Damn Romance”, is a collaboration with producer Bryant Didier. Sizzling trumpet, strutting guitar, and rhythmic bass grooves combine for a jazz experience that swings and soars.
Eva Schubert’s fourth album, The Feel of Your Love, produced by Bryant Didier, is a sultry, sometimes hypnotic collection of songs that effortlessly shift the colour of your mood. Languid piano stylings, guitar riffs and saxophone grooves combine to create a sound that is both classically appealing, and uniquely her own. Her sound has been compared to the intimate, seductive style of Julie London and Sade.
In addition to these albums, Eva has recorded a number of singles and covers.
