About Me

Eva’s DEBUT ALBUM, Sweet Melancholy, IS NOW FOR SALE in Finnish record stores, on iTunes & at CD Baby!! The album was released in Finland in December 2008. According to reviewers "All the tracks are winners with a clear hit potential" (Mats Liljeroos, HBL), and "The early Joni Mitchell is not very far away" (Pekka Nissilä, Muusikko).Eva Pohto is a Finnish singer-songwriter, whose acoustic-based music contains shades of pop, jazz, and folk. With her steady, yet sensitive voice, she leads the listener into her own world. The lyrics - about love, life, and travelling – tend to be thoughtful and melancholic, whereas the music, by contrast, is often warm and sparkling with joy.Eva has performed her music around Finland for the past ten years, playing solo, in smaller constellations, or with her band, The Bonobos.

Sounds Like: We've striven to create an enjoyable, individual entirety that would stand the test of time. The overall sound is tinged with nostalgia, and has close ties with music from the 1960s and ‘70s. This is the kind of music we love and miss in today's hectic world. Peace and love, let's all just try to get along!(;
