Eva Gardner is a second-generation bassist born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. Her father, Londoner Kim Gardner, was an integral part of the British Invasion of the 1960s and 70s. He was part of influential British bands such as The Creation, The Birds and Ashton, Gardner & Dyke. His musical cohorts included the likes of Ron Wood, Rod Stewart and Eric Clapton. It only felt natural for Eva to follow in her father’s footsteps and she began playing bass at the age of 14. She attended the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts and continued her studies at UCLA, earning a degree in Ethnomusicology. Her professional career began in 2001 when she toured and recorded as the original bassist in The Mars Volta. Since then, Eva has performed with numerous artists worldwide, including P!nk, Gwen Stefani, Cher, Tegan & Sara, Moby and Veruca Salt.
