Someone once said, “The purpose of the artist is to bring light to the human heart.” The songs of Don Eves spotlight the lives we live and the lives we imagine. With life being a mixture of heartbreak and ecstasy, Don’s songs deeply reflect the many-sided prism of the human experience.
 

From the time he learned a few chords on the guitar, he immediately started writing songs. The songs are forged from whatever the “inspiration” is at the time. He writes western songs, spiritual songs, country songs, feel good songs, feel bad songs, and even songs for the hopeless romantic. (Or hopeful romantic, depending on your perspective).

Up until 1994, music was something Don created privately for his own enjoyment and a few close friends. This all changed when one of those friends talked him into entering one of his songs in a songwriting contest. His song “No Daddy” won the best country song award and kindled a fire in him to share his music with the world. This song has touched the hearts and minds of many; is always requested wherever he performs.

Don has a unique style of writing, enhanced by his deep baritone voice. There is no greater compliment to him than when someone tells him that one of his songs spoke to him or her in some way. Once again, "The purpose of the artist is to bring light to the human heart." His song "For the The Promised Land" was performed while entertaining our troops in Illisheim Army base in Germany and was very honored to learn that it was played at Arlington National Cemetery in memory of a soldier who died while serving our country while serving in Iraq.

Don's newest cd is deeply introspective and conducive to ones spiritual walk. "Within the Stillness" is a pathway of light into the very soul of a person's being. We are all spiritual beings and at our deepest core we are the pure essence of good. Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "Speak to the heart of a man and he (she) becomes instantly virtuous." "Within the Stillness" will not only speak to your heart, but will also summon your own heart to speak within you in a brand new way. The Spirit of God, the Great I Am of which the scriptures speak, will speak to you "Within the Stillness."

Don has two albums, “Taste the Wine,” and his newest work, “Common Ol’ Cowboy. With the exception of “Streets of Laredo,” all songs on the albums were written by Eves.
