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.  In my never ending passion to unite the world through music I share music from Pakistan, Israel and Norway so let's get on with it already!

Everything About You was directed by Ray Kay in Cape Town and I just loved watching the band promoting it on their facebook site leading up to the launch. Jermiah as I fondly refer to him as is a long time friend and I think I am one of the 1st people to hear him sing almost a decade ago and I am so proud of him and really looking forward to future releases!  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 !
