Eden Brent

Blues lady Eden Brent is a piano-pounding, juke-joint hollering powerhouse. A celebrated songwriter and dynamic performer, she spent the first two decades of her career under the tutelage of Abie “Boogaloo” Ames, before winning the Blues Foundation’s Blues Challenge and bouncing onto the international scene.

Since then she lands steady honors, three Blues Music Awards among them. Her much-anticipated new album Getaway Blues presents nine original blues songs recorded live in London with a four-piece band and released on Yellow Dog Records. Laid down in London. Mixed up in Memphis. Made in Mississippi. Born in the Mississippi Delta’s literary core and its largest town, Greenville, to a family of riverboat captains and guitar pickers, Eden’s story could have been written by Eudora Welty or Tennessee Williams or any number of Mississippi’s colorful authors.
