Apples & Eve

Having recently been played on BBC2, BBC6, XFM and many other national radio stations Apples & Eve are really excited about the future and are currently in the process of writing an album due out early 2014. Originally formed as a duo with Eva Howells on Lead vocals, Guitar and Accordion & Francine Perry on Drums marked the beginning of Apples & Eve's journey. After discovering each other’s passion in creating and performing music, It wasn’t long before Apples & Eve started to create a buzz in their hometown Brighton. Since then they have been joined by the wonderful; Lindsey Oliver on double bass, fiddle player Tim Cotterell and Lead Guitarist Gar Rock. Apples & Eve are now a formidable outfit who have gained a strong reputation for their live performances as well as being a talented, committed, and extremely hardworking band. Apples & Eve’s variation on Alternative Folk has been influenced by artists such as; Devendra Banhart, Coco Rosie, Fink, Grizzly Bear, tUnE-YaRdS, Laura Veirs, Beirut, The Moulettes, Angus & Julia Stone, Billie Holiday, Laura Marling, Mariee Sioux, Nick Drake, Grimes and Paul Simon which has helped to create their distinctive and endearing sound. As much as music takes a lead role in Apples & Eve, the band are also extremely creative and enjoy designing and creating original pieces of art work for the band. The ‘Dionysus’ EP for example has been individually hand printed using a wood cut on recycled wallets to create an original and natural feel. This is something that is very much at the heart of Apples & Eve’s philosophy with regard to making music. Apples & Eve are an Alterative, Folk, Gypsy band from Brighton mixing sounds of Accordion, Violin, Acoustic Guitar, Double Bass, Drums, Electric Guitar & Haunting Harmonies to create their unique sound.
