Eva Rose King grew up in Orange County, California, but has since lived everywhere from Vermont to Australia, chasing jobs, dreams, and people.

In her upcoming album, After Tale, she explores the consequences of this wayward journey — lost friends, weakened ties to home, and biting loneliness. “After tale” refers to a post-script or, in this case, things said too late.

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 was recorded at Tank Studio in Burlington, Vermont and touches on themes of dreams and perception, resilience, and pining.

Eva also released Complex Feelings (EP) in 2023, which was produced by Corey Wright in Fort Collins, CO. This EP consists of playful, pop-jazz-R&B songs and features a more soulful side of Eva’s voice.

Eva’s first instrument was the viola, which defined much of her childhood. You will often hear the viola in Eva’s songs, which she performs herself.

Apart from being a musician, Eva also works as an environmental scientist, where she studies land cover change, agriculture, and environmental justice.
