Grab a tissue or two, because this Brunswick Ballroom show is set to hit right in the feels.
Revisiting Eva Cassidy brings acclaimed vocalist Julie Walter to Brunswick Ballroom on 9 August, paying tribute to a true musical icon.
The show promises to be a warm, honest celebration rather than a straight-up impersonation.
Julie has spent 30 years singing alongside touring bands and artists across Australia and further afield, and along the way she’s grown used to a particular comparison.

People have long told her that her voice echoes that of the late, great Eva Cassidy – a remark she’s always treated as high praise rather than something to live up to.
Cassidy’s gift for sitting inside a song, resisting the urge to oversing or perform for performance’s sake, has shaped Julie’s own approach to music for decades.
Revisiting Eva Cassidy leans into that influence, offering a sincere return to songs that have soundtracked celebrations, losses and quiet everyday moments for listeners the world over.
Backed by a tight, sympathetic band, Julie approaches the set with the same care for space, story and simplicity that made Cassidy’s own performances so quietly devastating. It’s this restraint, rather than any attempt at vocal fireworks, that fans of the original recordings tend to respond to most.
It’s now three decades since Cassidy’s untimely death and the wave of global recognition that followed it, and her songs continue to resonate with new listeners and longtime fans alike. There’s no ego or industry gloss attached to the material, just songs that meet people exactly where they’re at.
Revisiting Eva Cassidy offers Melbourne audiences the chance to experience that connection live, in a room built for exactly this kind of intimate, unhurried listening.
