Anis and I have been working closely together with creating the vision for his social media sites, I may create and manage the many sites while he focuses on the more important use of his valuable time of making music for all of you but trust me Anis is very involved and cares deeply for his fans and is as active on the social media sites as time permit.

Eva DowdWorking with so many dedicated musicians makes me realize how much time they sacrifice to share their art with all of us, it may appear glamorous and so "Rock n Roll" but they give up so much of time traveling , their personal life's and even money to fund their passion.
Being a full time musician is not for the faint of heart and that is why I give them so much respect and donate my time to few kindred spirits I have met on this road less travel I chosen for myself. PS: My own main site Eva Dowd International has been totally been revamped hope you like the new look and you are always welcome to connect with me on FB or LinkedIn. |
