Eva Westphal + guest Poppy Prescott

EVA WESTPHAL

Eva Westphal, a singer songwriter from New York city, writes purpose driven pop that connects with audiences everywhere. From her vulnerable songs like “Adult” and “Belong” to the queer anthems “Loud,” “Understood,” and “Proud of Me.” As a result, she has amassed 5M+ streams across DSPs and a dedicated following across platforms like TikTok and Instagram.

She is humbled by the support she has received throughout her career -- from being featured in the 2023 Converse Pride Campaign, to a sold out headliner at The Mercury Lounge, to editorial support from Spotify (the cover of Noteable, Fresh Finds Pop, and features on Next Gen Singer Songwriters and GLOW, to name a few), SXSW 2024 performances, and being awarded the Music Forward/CITI 2023 LGBTQ+ Emerging Artist Award.

POPPY PRESCOTT

Hastings born singer-songwriter Poppy Prescott draws any crowd to silence with her soft soulful vocals and folk-style storytelling.

Growing up surrounded by musicians, Poppy begun performing live long before she was allowed to be hanging around music venues. Fast forward, some of her highlights include headline performances at The Troubadour London (Sold out), Pizza Express Jazz Club Holborn & Printworks Hastings, as well as festival slots at WOMAD, Hastings Fat Tuesday and support slots for Keane & Barbara Dickson.

Alongside her folk guitar playing, informed by Adrianne Lenker and Nick Drake, are eclectic accompaniments for fans of Radiohead and Sam Amidon. She's accompanied on stage by an exceptional band of collaborators Dan McConkey (saxophone), Myra Brownbridge (double bass), Keir Tyson (guitar), Liam Talbot (keys) & Josh Walker-Martin (drums).

Two self-written and released EPs later - both played on BBC Radio 6 - she's writing new material and playing around the UK having the time of her life.
