Eden Brent earns Blues Music Award "Best Album" nomination
For the third time in a row, Eden Brent has released an album that's earned a Blues Music Award "best album" nomination. Previously, Mississippi Number One earned an Acoustic Album of the Year win, then Ain't Got No Troubles was nominated for Album of the Year. Now, her sparkling new Jigsaw Heart has once again earned her an Acoustic Album of the Year nomination.
Eden's proven herself in the scene as a triple threat: piano master, soulful singer and superb songwriter. This is a good time, though, to underscore just how much acclaim she's gotten for her piano skills alone. This is the fifth time in the last seven years that she's earned a "Pinetop Perkins Piano Player of the Year" nomination from the BMAs – and there are a lot of great piano players out there!
Vote for Eden in this year's Blues Music Awards! Ballots are being emailed now to all members of the Blues Foundation. If you’re not a member, visit this membership page HERE for more information on how to join and participate in this year's BMA voting.
The 36th Annual Blues Music Awards will be presented on Thursday, May 7, 2015 at the Cook Convention Center in Memphis.
"A sumptuous delight... listeners are captivated before the end of the first track." –American Blues Scene
"An irresistible, piano-pounding collection that blends soul, alt-country, blues, and R&B." –Engine 145
"As if someone tamed Jerry Lee Lewis, mixed in some Kris Kristofferson and added a dose of Bobby Gentry..." –Jazz & Blues Report
