Who is Eden Brent?
Blues lady Eden Brent is a piano-pounding, juke-joint hollering powerhouse of American music. A legendary performer and southern songwriter, she spent the first two decades of her career under the tutelage of Abie “Boogaloo” Ames, before winning The International Blues Challenge and bouncing onto the global music scene.
Since then she lands steady honors, with four Blues Music Awards and a lengthy list of lifetime accolades. Most recently, Brent won the Piano trophy at this year's Blues Music Awards following her latest album, Getaway Blues, her bluesiest album to date.
Eden is featured in three documentaries: Boogaloo & Eden: Sustaining the Sound; Forty Days in the Delta; and 180 Degrees: Changing Lives in the Mississippi Delta; in publications like Living Blues, USA Today and Garden & Gun; on national radio broadcasts including Mountain Stage, NPR's Weekend Edition, and American Routes; and is among Mississippi’s living blues legends in H. C. Porter’s touring exhibit and companion book Blues@Home. Eden's music continues to delight both critics and live audiences alike.
A performer at heart, Eden plays clubs, concerts and festivals like the down-home Juke Joint Festival in Clarksdale and the epic New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. She travels to faraway places like Duvel Blues Festival in Belgium and Blues in Hell, Norway. She frequently hosts the Piano Bar aboard the Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise and also presents workshops and educational programs like the Port Townsend, Washington, Acoustic Blues Workshop.
