Eva Stehelin's Bio
Eva Stehelin was raised in a singing family with a father who had a beautiful
Irish Tenor voice. Instead of bedtime stories, her father sang for all of the
children. She was born in Edmonton AB. Her father was in the RCAF, and as a
result her young years were spent traveling all over Canada.
At the age of twelve she moved to Nanaimo, and spent her teenage years there,
where she was very involved in music. Her major musical mentor was Jim Johnson,
choir master of the Nanaimo Sr. High School Choir. She did solo concert work,
and was active in both the madrigal group and the Legend Singers, (a folk
singing group).
After graduating, Eva went on to Notre Dame University, where she met her
husband of 36 years, and then went on to University of Alberta in Edmonton,
where she became a teacher. During this time she remained an active singer in
the folk houses of Nelson and The Kootnays, and also in and around Edmonton.
Prior to moving to the Yukon, she had her own local TV show with CBC called
"Eve In Song".
Eva and her husband have lived in Whitehorse Yukon for 35 years and have been
active primarily in business, however Eva never lost her love for singing, and
has throughout those years been involved in early hootenannies, and has been an
integral partner in creating them. She participated in many of the musical
festivals of the territory, although not so active in latter years. In that
sense "LifeSongs" is a musical re-entry, and an accumulation of Eva's musical
history and experience.It embodies new songs currently written, plus a
sprinkling of Brazilian Jazz and Mexican music, thrown in with a touch of
Blues, and some old English Ballads. To describe it in one word, it is
ECLECTIC.
Eva has four children, and four grandchildren, and brings her three sons,
Emile(Mitt), Bernard, and Erin to the CD on back-up vocals.
