HOLLY TAYMAR SINGS EVA CASSIDY

In this brand-new show, Holly Taymar captures the magic of Eva Cassidy, whose breathtaking versions of Over the Rainbow, Fields of Gold, and Songbird have touched hearts worldwide since her life was tragically cut short in 1996.

Born in Wakefield and having studied in Leeds, Taymar has been winning over music fans for 20 years with her smooth vocals, accomplished guitar playing, and heartfelt original songs. Beyond her solo work, she is an in-demand session songwriter and vocalist, much like Cassidy, known for her versatility in folk, jazz and blues.
