Eva Rose King is a Colorado folk artist using rich vocals and acoustic tones to dig deep into memory and vulnerability. Like the clarity of a slow morning, her songs pay homage to the subtle and the beautiful, awakening feelings that had almost slipped away.
Eva is currently releasing singles off her upcoming album, After Tale (releasing February 2025), which explores feelings of loneliness. Drawing on experiences during COVID and from a decade away from home, these songs represent words said too late – a postscript of nostalgic musings and love letters. This album evokes the styles of Gillian Welch, Leonard Cohen, and Norah Jones.
After Tale was produced by Courtney Hartman and recorded during a cold, rainy week in Eau Claire, Wisconsin at Hive Studio. The tracks were largely recorded live and this fresh energy and organicness is clear throughout the album.
After Tale will be Eva’s second studio album. She released On the Other Side in 2021, which touches on themes of dreams and perception, resilience, and pining. Eva also released Complex Feelings (EP) in 2023, which consists of playful folk-jazz-pop songs and features a more soulful side of Eva’s voice. Notably, Eva found her way to music through the decade she spent playing the viola in symphony orchestras, a background which still influences her music today.
Eva has warmed the stage for Willie Watson, Old Crow Medicine Show, and Sunny War, and was a finalist in the 2024 Telluride Bluegrass Festival's Troubadour Competition.
Eva also holds a second career as an environmental scientist, where she studies biodiversity, climate change and environmental justice. Her passion for nature and equity ring loud in all corners of her life.
