Evi Vine

Evi Vine is a singer/songwriter emerging from the UK’s underground music scene. She has been inspired by such diverse artists as Leonard Cohen, the Cocteau Twins, Arvo Part and Nine Inch Nails. Raw and emotive, Evi’s powerful, but minimalist narrative style is very much her own. Her voice is variously described as haunting and other-worldly; her lyrics tell of isolation, sex, death and alienation, but it is her potent and mesmerising performances that really draw you in. Few performers can consistently deliver such an impassioned, emotional and hypnotic show as Evi Vine.
