In my spare time I am working on writing my memoir Dancing through Life with one Broken High Heal while living my life on my own terms . Trying to hold grudges against those who  wronged me and focusing on the sweet cherries not the sour ones.  And oh yes I have a new SUV which I just love and look forward to all the adventures we will take together listening to incredible music of the artists I love and assist !

Myrath is Coming to USA in 2017 !!!

First let me start with the most exciting news my artist Anis Jouini bass player for Myrath, the band is coming to the USA in 2017 for ProgPower USA, the artists I work with live in distant corners of the world so always great when I get to meet them face to face. Here is the full roster for the Concert. There is a lot happening with Anis these days, endorsements, interviews and touring with Myrath read full details at his update blog.  
Below from ProgPower 2013.            
Umair continues to win the heart of fans around the Globe.

Umair's newly re-launched main site is becoming a fan favorite with visitors from as far away as Kenya visiting ! 

The Saudi Gazette recently interviewed Umair, it really is so true that music unites us all regardless the genre or language spoken it is all about the emotion and the passion !  
 
Umair has performed two songs on Coke Studio S9 you can check them out for yourself when you stop by his site and remember to sign the guest book. 
Yossi Sassi Band Roots and Roads Album submitted for Grammy Review.
I was thrilled to be able to submit one of my favorite artist Yossi Sassi and his Band for Grammy consideration for his album Roots and Roads, I really hope you take the time to read the entire post right here and yes I finally have my replacement CD that I had to submit to Grammys but this one is much more special with a message from Yossi, now time to take it on a road trip  !  The band is on tour and you can find out all the details on the band's main site. 

In Closing....

Picture
I just finished the 1st  decade to devoting time to helping artists around the globe, it is long story how it all began and you can find the tale on this site. 
I worked with dozens of artists for numerous years,the breakups of the bands  hit me hard. I questioned my sanity why do I donate so much of my time, I can't quite answer that it just is something I know with all my heart and soul I was meant to do.
The past couple years have been tough but what is taken away is given back two fold if you ride the storm out. I could not be happier where  the road less traveled is taking me these days and grateful for all I learned and know that my passion and determination is stronger than ever!

Anniversary Wishes to Anis Jouini & More....

Anis Jouini 

First and foremost let me congratulate my latest Artist Anis Jouini as he celebrates his 10 yr Anniversary with Myrath !  I am learning about a genre I knew very little about Oriental Metal and must say both Myrath's album Tales of the Sands and Legacy have been on constant play on my extended commute to the office. ​I am officially a lover of Oriental Metal. 
​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.  
Would love you to check out his main site with so many nooks and crannies for Anis's and Myrath's fans and do sign the guest book  as well  read the latest tour photo diary when Myrath opened for Megadeth in  Bucharest  Romania.  
​
Be sure to check out upcoming Myrath Tour Dates and Anis Jouini Official Fan Page  on FB. 

Umair Jaswal 

My artist of 5 years Umair Jaswal Facebook page is on fire, with Umair himself doing his best to interact with the over 750,000 die hard fans that visit the page multiple times a day.
Umair is always one to keep you guessing what he is up to next here was a recent surprise ....

Yossi Sassi 

Picture
Yossi Sassi is one of the artists I highlight on my site and have tremendous respect for his music and his beliefs that are kindred to mine that music unties us all.

You must check out his facebook band page with the reviews and articles coming in from the globe for his latest release Roots and Roads , I truly hope the album receives the International acclaim it deserves.

Right is just one of the many tour schedules you will also find on the Yossi Sassi Band Page.

Also view the Master Class Page I put on my site for any event organizers that are interested I would love to help connect you to Yossi and his management. 

Eva Dowd 

Working 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.

If you been following my sites you know I am highlighting Yossi Sassi  who's own bio  pens him as  "Oriental Rock Bouzoukitarist, Founder@Yossi Sassi Band, Composer/Producer/Co-Founder of Orphaned Land"

Being a new fan of Oriental Rock I am having a great time learning from both the fans and the musicians of the genre and I may I add interacting in emails with Yossi is a joy... the man is really uplifting and his message of Uniting the World through Music makes us kindred spirits :) but enough of that on to the just released video Palm Dance featuring Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal from the soon to be released album "Roots and Roads" my copy promised to be on the way, yes I not only promote but support Indie Artists, you can read the review here and even better support here , only you can keep Indie Music alive and well so support the artists you love and who's message speaks to you !

Many of you may well be familiar with Yossi Sassi pioneer of Oriental Rock  but I was not and that is great thing about this virtual world it allows us  to discover amazing established artists form around the World  for the 1st time. Yossi was the co-founder of the well known progressive  rock band Orphaned Land for many years before creating the Yossi Sassi Band more insights here on my finding about the man and his music.  

I will be posting more updates on Yossi soon but lets start with his latest album Roots and Roads which you can preorder in advance of the late May release as well as his prior  work and some very cool t-shirts with great imagery .So do check out the shop.

Yossi is all about Uniting  the World Through Music which makes him a kindred spirit even though I never met him I feel I know him though his Ted Talk. 

I will keep this short and be back soon with more about Yossi but in mean time watch and listen to the upcoming promos from Roots and Roads Album. You can also follow his band on
Facebook.
