Her latest project, Queen of the Night, is her most ambitious yet, comprising 14 original songs on the universal theme of sleeping & dreaming, each teamed with its own specially created video, by turns meditative, whimsical and humorous.

Evelyn performs the collection as a self-contained, immersive & entertaining show, specially created to suit small, intimate venues, which is being well received by audiences who love its soothing & relaxing qualities, & welcome escape from everyday worries.
