Piano-pounding juke-joint hollering Mississippi blues lady Eden Brent

Hailing from the heart of the Mississippi Delta, Eden Brent is a piano-pounding, juke-joint-hollering powerhouse whose electrifying blend of blues, jazz, and soul has captivated audiences around the world. Mentored by the late blues legend Abie “Boogaloo” Ames, she went on to win the International Blues Challenge and has since earned four Blues Music Awards, including this year’s Instrumentalist–Piano honor for her acclaimed album Getaway Blues.

A storyteller as much as a performer, Brent brings the spirit of her Delta roots to every show — with raw emotion, fiery piano work, and southern charm that lights up the stage. From juke joints to international festivals, she’s hailed as one of today’s great voices of American roots music — and we’re lucky to catch her on tour right here at The Barnhardt.
