Music for your Sangha, Congregation, or Spiritual Community
Eve Decker comes to your sangha, church, or synagogue to share uplifting, spiritually-themed, acoustic music.
An internationally known performing artist and songwriter, Eve is a founding member of the band Rebecca Riots (www.rebeccariots.com), dubbed "Best Band with a Conscience" by the San Francisco Bay Guardian in 1998.
In 2006, Eve released a solo CD, Commentary on Perfections of the Heart, ten original songs based on Buddhist scripture. Tricycle magazine stated that "Decker's melodies, and her luscious, inventive phrasing, give her songs the power of a transmission."
Eve has performed her solo material to sold-out audiences at the venerated Freight and Salvage Coffee House in Berkeley, California, as well as for sanghas and congregations at Spirit Rock Meditation Center in Woodacre, California; the Berkeley Vipassana Buddhist Sanghas; the Insight Meditation Center in Redwood City, California; the Gay Men's Sangha in San Francisco; the Women's Buddhist Sangha in Berkeley; the Occidental-Laguna Sangha in Sebastopol, California; the Fellowship of Unitarian Universalists in Berkeley; and others.
