NARDIA -Etta James meets Eva Cassidy Tribute
Friday, October 9 @ 8:00 pm
| https://alvasshowroom.com/event/nardia-etta-james-meets-eva-cassidy-tribute/
$35.00
ETTA JAMES MEETS EVA CASSIDY
Two iconic voices. One unforgettable show.

Internationally acclaimed Australian singer-songwriter Nardia brings together the raw soul of Etta James and the breathtaking beauty of Eva Cassidy in a powerful live celebration of two of music’s most unforgettable voices.

Etta James Meets Eva Cassidy journeys from the fire, grit and swagger of rhythm & blues to the intimate, haunting storytelling that made Cassidy’s performances timeless. Featuring much-loved songs including At Last, I’d Rather Go Blind, Something’s Got a Hold on Me, Songbird, Fields of Gold and Over the Rainbow, the show gives audiences the opportunity to rediscover these classics through Nardia’s distinctive voice and commanding stage presence.

With a sound spanning soul, blues, R&B and jazz, Nardia is an award-winning singer-songwriter and performer whose career has taken her from Australia to stages across the United States.

In 2025, she became a Top 5 Finalist at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, emerging as the only female artist among the finalists from a field of hundreds of acts from around the world. Her original music has also gained international recognition, with her single “Is It You” reaching #1 on the Urban Influencer Independent R&B/Soul Chart in the USA and receiving Grammy consideration.

Nardia has performed extensively throughout Australia and the United States, including appearances in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Memphis, Nashville and Chicago. Career highlights include supporting legendary bassist Marcus Miller in Las Vegas, performing at Chicago’s iconic Buddy Guy’s Legends, and being invited to perform in the VIP lounges for Beyoncé and Adele during their Australian tours.

It is this background that makes Etta James Meets Eva Cassidy much more than a traditional tribute show.

Nardia doesn’t attempt to imitate these extraordinary women. Instead, she honours the emotion, storytelling and musicianship that made them iconic bringing her own vocal power, vulnerability and personality to their songs.

From the aching vulnerability of I’d Rather Go Blind to the soaring beauty of Songbird, audiences are taken through an evening of love, heartbreak, strength, longing and soul.

Etta James Meets Eva Cassidy is a celebration of timeless music, extraordinary women and songs that still have the power to stop a room.
