Bio:
Growing up in a large musical family, Monica was influenced by the music her older siblings were listening to, including Steve Miller, the Eagles, BTO, Boston, Chicago and Fleetwood Mac. Her Midwestern roots, where country music and classic rock go hand-in-hand, are apparent in her song writing and vocals. Monica Eby and husband Todd first hit the Omaha music scene in 2001 as founders and members of a singer/songwriter collective called “Group Therapy” that began as a songwriters gathering in their home. As several promising artists began to emerge, the group began booking and playing various coffeehouses and pubs. In July of 2003, Monica began laying down the tracks for her debut album "I Can't Wait" which has garnered much press and notoriety for an Indie debut release.
Monica linked up with producer/musician Scott Gaeta of The Music Factory (gaetadog@aol.com), who proved to be the perfect match to help develop her songs into a fully produced album, with the expertise to take the project to a national level. After 16 months in the studio Monica’s CD “I Can’t Wait” is creating a buzz for her debut release, getting great press coverage and getting radio play! The songs will snag you right away with her catchy, 80’s pop tune “Crazy” to a gutsy, blues number, “I Can’t Wait.” She reels you in with heartfelt, country-flavored ballads like “Already Gone” and “Surrender,” then pierces your heart with the powerful lyrics of “Thousand Mile Stare.” She then blows your socks off with rock-n-roll tunes like “It’s Been So Long” and “Sweetly.” Too late for Monica’s debut CD release of “I Can’t Wait”, is “Welcome Home” a song dedicated to the heroic men and women who are serving our country and fighting for the advancement of freedom. It was written to let them know “that we are praying for them, we are proud of them and we are anxiously awaiting their safe return,” says Monica. “Welcome Home” can be downloaded for free from her web site at www.monicaeby.com. Monica’s band is an amazing group of musicians. Steve Shirley, is a seasoned electric guitar player of 25 years and manager of Russo’s; Steve Packwood on bass, lays it down thick and smooth as butter; while Todd Eby, the band’s foundation and an innovative drummer and doubles as the marketing and creative genius behind Monica’s promotions and CD artwork. The band has a rare energy and chemistry that delivers a top notch and engaging show. Her recent work has culminated in Monica’s picture being on the March 2005 cover of “Her” magazine, with a full-length feature article about the passion she has for her music and for touching the lives of others through it. This past year Monica has performed at The Music Meltdown, Omaha Songwriter’s Festival, Omaha’s “Taste of Omaha”, Comstock’s “Windmill Festival”, Cheyenne County Fair, the Depot in North Platte and continues to perform locally in music clubs and bars. Most recently Monica was chosen to play at the Blue Bird Café in front of a gathering of major record labels. Out of 112 applicants, only 12 were chosen that had submitted 3 of their original songs. The 3 songs Monica submitted were: “Thousand Mile Stare”, “Already Gone”, and recently recorded “My Hero” (a song in loving memory of a police officer who died in the line of duty).
Monica has also brought home some hardware, placing in a number of divisions at the finals of the 2005 Galaxy of Stars Talent competition at the Nebraska State Fair • Monica received third place in the "Novas" division (19 & Over). • Received third place in the song writing competition, for her writing of "Surrender". • Monica was thrilled to have received 4th in highest in number of points overall, in every division of the final competition, receiving the "Rising Star" award.
