Meet The Eves, the Scottish pop duo featuring Marissa Keltie and Caroline Gilmour, widely regarded as one of the UK’s most promising emerging acts in pop. Their standout singles, "Big Love" and "Brand New Day," have garnered substantial airplay on BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio Scotland, and BBC Introducing, while also making waves on regional and online playlists worldwide.

"Brand New Day" spent an impressive 5 weeks on the BBC Radio 2 playlist, moving from "New to 2" with Ken Bruce to the B list, and featured on popular shows like The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show, Claudia Winkleman, and Rylan on Saturday. The track also reached No. 6 and No. 15 on the iTunes pop and main download charts, debuted on the UK Official Charts, and even appeared on an episode of The Kardashians on Disney Plus and Hulu in the U.S.

"Big Love" was adopted as the anthem for Scottish Women's Football's 2022/2023 League Season, marking The Eves' first co-written release with Jim Duguid and producer Lewis Gardiner. This track also made a splash on BBC Scotland’s Off the Ball show, with hosts Tam Cowan and Stuart Cosgrove.

On the live music scene, Marissa and Caroline have opened for major artists like Belinda Carlisle, Sister Sledge, and The Shires, and have shared stages with Wet Wet Wet, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, and Heather Small at festivals like TRNSMT and Country to Country. They’ve also performed at prestigious events like the Guinness Six Nations rugby match at BT Murrayfield.

Beyond their music, Caroline and Marissa are also recognized for their solo achievements. Caroline’s EP Electric Waterfalls topped the UK Vinyl Singles Chart on Record Store Day 2016, while Marissa’s piano piece "River and Reign" reached No.1 in the iTunes Classical Music chart. Additionally, Marissa is a successful voiceover artist and commercial model with clients like Universal Music Group and Bentley.

In the charity sector, Caroline serves as Patron for 6VT Edinburgh City Youth Cafe, while Marissa supports the charity through music workshops. Together, they run the UK side of Pico’s Pack, an organization focused on rescuing dogs in Serbia.

Excitingly, The Eves will release a new 4-track EP Both Sides on November 8, 2024, with lead single "We’re On Fire" already out as of October 11, 2024. This EP, co-written and produced by Dan Gautreau, promises to bring more captivating and memorable pop tracks.
