Earth to Eve books Higher Ground for March 4

The protest-minded pop songwriter behind Oversharing on the Internet brings her first headline run here to Williston Road on a Thursday in March.

Somewhere between the last Phish-lot leftovers of fall and the first mud-season thaw, Higher Ground has slotted in a show that looks a little different from the usual winter bill. Earth to Eve — the project of songwriter Eve Weisberger — plays Higher Ground on Thursday, March 4, 2027, a date that went up on October 22.

The details from Higher Ground's own listing: doors at 7pm, show at 7:30pm, all ages, tickets $20 to $50. Our data puts the show in the Ballroom, the bigger of the club's two rooms on Williston Road, which holds about 650. An early start and an all-ages door make this one easy to fit into a school night, and easy to bring someone younger to.

Who is she? Earth to Eve's debut album, Oversharing on the Internet, came out this year, and the title says a lot about the songs. In an interview with LADYGUNN, she described the record as a balance between the personal and the political, built to capture the "emotional whiplash" of scrolling a feed — her own trauma dumping on one side, news about politics and society on the other. Most of what she writes, she said, deals with either mental health or collective political struggle.

The sound pulls from hip-hop, jazz and alternative pop, with roots in 1960s protest folk; she has named Labrinth, Nina Simone and Amy Winehouse as influences. Singles from the record include "First Generation Degenerate," whose video she discussed with Detour, describing music as a way to share information she thought people needed to see.

Her songs, she said, deal with either mental health or collective political struggle.

The route here wasn't the usual one. Weisberger studied economics at UC Berkeley and worked at a San Francisco venture capital firm before leaving her degree behind and moving to Los Angeles to make what she calls socially conscious music, a story she told at length to B-Sides. This summer she took the album on the road through rooms like Minneapolis's 7th St. Entry, Chicago's Beat Kitchen and San Francisco's Brick & Mortar Music Hall.

That makes March a step up in scale, and an all-ages Thursday with a 7:30 start makes it easy to say yes.

Tickets are on sale now through Higher Ground. If the record has been on your phone since spring, this is the chance to hear what those songs sound like in a room full of people who've been reading the same feeds.
