Eva Porter
Cork’s newest singer-songwriter, Eva Porter, has just released her debut album, “Heart on My Sleeve”. The busy mother of three made the decision to record some of her finest tracks after some encouragement from her six-year-old son.
Eva has been writing songs since the age of twelve and has always had a passion for music but never took it further than home.
It was only when her then 6 year old son told her on a drive home one night, after they had been singing along to a song Eva had written, that he thought his mum should make a record, that Eva decided to give it a go.
18 months ago the journey from singing her songs to her children to sharing them on her debut album “Heart on my Sleeve” began in earnest.
It started with a phone call to Eva’s uncle, Cork singer and soon to be co-writer, Joe Corbett. Over the next year, Eva and Joe collaborated on the songs for the album.
Brian Connor, Belfast keyboard player and producer whose credits include albums for Freddie White and Albert Niland, heard Eva’s demos and signed on as producer. Brian played keyboards on the album and assembled a line up of Ireland’s finest musicians to join him – Johnny Scott, guitarist, Rod Patterson, bassist and Danny Byrt, percussion. The album was recorded in Sonas Studios, Glenflesk, Co. Kerry in December 2009. The album was engineered by Tony O’Flaherty of Sonas Studios and mastered by Ruairi O’Flaherty.
Eva’s music reflects her wide range of musical influences and love of folk, country and soul.
“Heart on my Sleeve” was launched on Thursday 17th June at the Boardwalk Bar & Grill, Cork. You can find out more about Eva at her website www.evaporter.com.
