When the band SHEL visited Glasgow in 2013 Eva played this piece that she had written. She gave Jan and myself a special performance that I will treasure forever.
I recognize this place, being from Fort Collins myself. Can't wait to show this to my daughter who is ten and plays mandolin. Eva and her sisters are fabulous and so inspiring to the many young musicians around Fort Collins.
Stylishly shot too, looks like some kind of mall-space closed for the day, finally being afforded the dignity it seldom sees... until Eva plays there again.Really liked the whole piece
There is that crisp,beautiful bell like tone from the Weber mandolin that I've come to expect.Eva is a wonderful player and knows how to get the note separation that lets you hear how great these Webers are.
By far my most favorite Meditation upon a Mandolin since it came out! I’m so pleased to be able to see her play this and get a feel for what she is feeling as she performs...She plays on a level sublime....it reminds me of Evan Marshall in virtuosity and style...a feat not many can accomplish by desire let alone possess by innate talent... Eva Holbrook is world class! Would love to see and hear her compositions with Evan Marshall in duo style!
Beautifully played. First time I've come across Eva. The mall acoustics really show off the Weber, I've been hesitating on upgrading to a Weber myself.... Now I'm convinced.
Eva did a wonderful solo version of Zeps Going To California sitting on her bed, very mellow, soothing and a beautiful piece of music aspiring mandolinists could learn from .. and someone got all upset and had it yanked from the internet ... I can't believe Zep would care so what's the big deal ? I want that wonderful piece back online ... ty folks ... love to hear why ??
I love to come back and listen to the purity of this and marvel... makes me feel so small of a mandolin player.... I vote for liking the spin around at the 2 minute mark.
Eva and your sisters "SHEL" you girls are out of this world, no words suffice to express how you blowm me away all the way .... Is it please possible to have the transcription of this awesome piece, or I will have to get it out by ear ....... Thanx very much.....
This sounds incredibly close to “Chop Suey” by System of a Down. Not surprising as Darron mentioned he used a Bozouki to record one of the layers of the intro.
That is the best mandolin playing I've ever heard.
I'm yelling at my mandolin right now: "Hey! Why don't YOU sound like that??!!" Oh, well, such is life...
😂
She's like the Eddy Van Halen of the mandolin.... Doesn't mean you can't play.... 🤙
Wow. What a sound. This woman is a brilliant mandolin player ❤❤❤
Eva,
My heart. Ida Presti would be proud. Thank you
I’d like to see Eva share the stage with Sierra Hull.❤️❤️
I've been watching this video for years and it always take my breath away. One of the finest mandolin performances of all time.
Ms. Holbrook, you are a true virtuoso on the Mandolin! Thanks for sharing your amzing gift.

Hey youall beling in the appalchian moutains..with all the gals up thar...
Born with a mandolin in their hands...
Well done jam!!
Such a distinct tone. As a mando player I give respect as a fan I gotta show love
This is still one of my favorite UA-cam videos of all time.
The composition, and the way she playes it - so full of nuance, dynamics and without scratching notes- amiracle, so beautiful!!!
This piece of music sold me on the mandolin...
Me tooo, thats the reason to decide to give the mandolin a try and I love it :D
I was so enraptured by the music that I nearly overlooked the great cinematography and the setting. The second time through, I noticed both.
Stylishly shot too, looks like some kind of mall-space closed for the day, finally being afforded the dignity it seldom sees... until Eva plays there again.Really liked the whole piece
Amazing. For 3 1/2 minutes, heaven came down to earth.
Fantastic!
omg my soul is stolen away on such a talent. play forever please.
Far beyond the realm of ordinary flat mandolin music. Celestial.

Very very interesting
Inspiring stuff - beautiful playing
Incredible performance 🙏
She is phenomenal!!
Beautiful, Eva. Absolutely breathtaking. Thank you!
Has anyone seen my face? ...it melted off during this video
Such a dramatic performance. Very moving!
God, I knew she was good but she’s MUCH better than I thought 😳

I love how you become one with your song and get lost within the instrument like I do. You have a gift Eva.
Words fail me. Simply amazing.
What a lovely find. Thank you so much Eva

I've been looking for a video with mandolin like this! I recently picked up the mandolin as a second instrument to guitar and like it better!
Eva did a wonderful solo version of Zeps Going To California sitting on her bed, very mellow, soothing and a beautiful piece of music aspiring mandolinists could learn from .. and someone got all upset and had it yanked from the internet ...

Finally it's back on. Going to California by Eva, check it out, it's so good.
Absolutely stunning.

Sarah, I'm terribly sorry, make no mistake you are amazing. But this is the best version of this song.
Wow!!!
So Talented !!! OMG My niece plays the viola and is getting a mandolin. I sent her this video because it was so beautiful.
That was fascinating. Thank you very much.
Wow. Beautiful.
I love to come back and listen to the purity of this and marvel... makes me feel so small of a mandolin player.... I vote for liking the spin around at the 2 minute mark.
straordinaria !
That's beautiful! :)
Stunning!
I like how you picked that glass marble space to get a beautiful room sound.
Absolutely amazing! I was so touched by this performance. Thank you so much for sharing this deeply moving piece.Brilliant.
2024 ❤
Spectacular. !
Just wonderful!
Yes, dynamics are extraordinary!
Amazing performance. And an amazing instrument. Those old Webers are like the Stradivarius of mandolins.
Incredible player beautiful sounding instrument.
Would you please make a whole album of this kind of music...soon.
Very nice. Found you and SHEL via Mandolin Café. I am enjoying your work. Blessings to you and your talented family.
wwwwooooh amazing talent ...love it . YOU Rock.
Magic fingers. That was gorgeous.
Absolutely Beautiful Playing and Tone
This is amazing. SHEL wasn't my thing, though. Would love to see her solo stuff.
Astonishing. Best technique i've seen on mando by a huge margin.
This is a pretty standard way of playing classical mandolin technique, albeit Eva’s technique is very well refined
Very skilled and musical playing. Amazing that as of today, 5 sad people have given this a thumbs down.
Eva and your sisters "SHEL" you girls are out of this world, no words suffice to express how you blowm me away all the way ....
Is it please possible to have the transcription of this awesome piece, or I will have to get it out by ear ....... Thanx very much.....

It ’s like when I first heard Vivaldi ’s Winter from The Four Seasons, shock me lot. and she is so pretty.
Great playing.....wow and a gorgeous player too. wow
Goddess! She rocked the Taste of Colorado like it was the original Woodstock.

Amazing.

Eva is a singer, song writer, plays mandolin and cello and much more. Belongs to the band SHEL. Check out their station for great music.
I hear some Aquilus (band) and Mochalova vibes. I love it.
Mandolin players, we've got the TAB: jamalongtranscriptions.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Tuscany-apb-played-Eva-Holbrook-mandolin.pdf
