LATEST NEWS: IE Releases New Album!

About Me


Inventing Eve's fresh sound is a derivative of an eclectic range of influences from various genres of music, including Ray LaMontagne, Beth Hart, Nichole Nordeman and Van Morrison. It would be a difficult task to put this music into a box. The genre it best occupies is acoustic/folk/pop.
New York duo Inventing Eve, fronted by identical twins Sarah and Jennifer Ray, has made its mark on the music scene since 2003. They have been featured at some the city's most famous events including MeanyFest and The Bitter End's Chick Singer Night, and performed regularly at venues such as CBGB, Sidewalk Café and Arlene's Grocery.
In early 2007, with the success of Inventing Eve's self-titled debut album they began touring Europe, performing regularly in London and in other cities such as Venice and Rome.
This certainly is not your average female duo. In summer 2007 the twins armed with only a guitar, keyboard, and their harmonious voices held their own against an array of heavy rock bands, and went on to be named top group at Jar Music Group's Emergenza UK Festival.
Through their unique writing style, Inventing Eve approaches mature subjects with catchy but potent lyrics which range from lightheartedly humorous to hopeful to bittersweet and breathtakingly beautiful. All at once sharp, solemn, reflective and refreshingly original, Inventing Eve's unique lyrical style, flawless harmonies and memorable melodies are a breath of fresh air in an industry desperately searching for something different.
Most recently, Inventing Eve has begun pre-production on a new five-song album which is scheduled to release mid to end December 2007 and is in discussions for a major publishing deal. Meanwhile, the duo continues play bookings in New York, California and across Europe.

Sounds Like:"A collection of 10 original songs including fan faves Caterpillar Eyebrows and 3.000 Miles From California, this feel-good menagerie of tunes that range from bluesy to pop to rock will make you want to open the blinds, grab a glass of your favorite bev, prop your feet up and sing along. Inventing Eve has the soul of Joss, edge of Alanis, and groove of Sheryl. I may even dare state that with Inventing Eve, a new musical genre has been born: that of Positive Pop."
-Millennius Entertainment/San Francisco, CA (November 2005)

"When I heard this music and these voices, I couldn't believe that it was possible to be so fresh. It is all so involved and alive. The reality of its simplicity--never predictable--absolutely hits you in the face. The entire work is very homogenous and coherent...the layering, placement and harmonies of the voices, the acoustic guitars, and the Hammond organ confirming tradition [are] excellent! Can Europe have you, Inventing Eve?"
-Paolo Bolla, PG Time/Italy (January 2006)
