Eden Brent - the person and the performer ‑ is a proud product of Mississippi Delta country.  The uniquely Southern blend of blues, jazz, soul, gospel and pop she grew up listening to provided the soundtrack for her life.  Alternately sweet and sassy, her vocal stylings have been described by one critic as "Bessie Smith meets Diana Krall meets Janis Joplin."  Eden developed her souful vocal-and-piano chops via family sing-a-longs before earning a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of North Texas.  But it was a 16-year apprenticeship with Greenville, Mississippi's late blues pioneer Boogaloo Ames, who ultimately dubbed his protege "Little Boogaloo," that cemented her passion for a career in music.  "Music school taught me to think, but Boogaloo taught me to boogie-woogie," says Brent, who appeared alongside her mentor in the 1999 PBS documentary Boogaloo & Eden: Sustaining the Sound.  Since launching her career, she's won the Blues Foundation's 2006 International Blues Challenge, and was a 2004 inductee on the Greenville Blues Walk.  Sharing a bill with B.B. King, Brent performed at the 2005 presidential inauguration, as well as at the British Embassy and at the My South celebrations in Mississippi and New York.  In June of 2008, the Center for Southern Folklore hosted a CD release party for her CD Mississippi Number One.  The album hit #2 on the Roots Music Report blues radio chart, as well as #11 on the Living Blues radio chart, and is the subject of a featured "spotlight review" in the current issue of Blues Revue magazine.
