EDDIE 9V
Eddie 9V has an endless stockpile of cool stories – and you’ll find twelve of them on new studio album ‘Saratoga’, releasing November 22, 2024 on the fabled Ruf label. It’s a record that will thrill both newcomers and fans who have trailed Eddie since the start, showcasing his fresh, fiery spin on Southern soul, blues, rock and funk, with his signature wit and sharp observations of modern America placing him squarely in the here-and-now. “I do think it’s a wonderful road trip album,” he nods.
Eddie 9V has powered up. From the day he first slung a guitar on a local stage, the Georgia-born band leader announced himself as an artist to watch. But in the last few} meteoric years, Eddie’s music has crossed oceans and airwaves, transcending his cult-hero status to become a beacon for fans of real music everywhere. “Eddie 9V is something else,” wrote the UK’s Classic Rock. “A man who genuinely inhabits golden-era American roots, playing the most instinctive blues you’ll hear all year.”
Check out the gig listings and you’ll find this rising star playing a bigger club every time he blows through town. Scan the charts and you’ll find his most recent album, 2022’s ‘Capricorn’, locking horns with the giants of rock ‘n’ roll. “Capricorn debuted at #1 and that was a cool feeling for a week, until Bonnie Raitt kicked us off,” reflects Eddie with a smile. “But hey, that’s a cool story to be able to say…”
THE PREACHER BOY TRIO
Ghost Notes, the new album from Preacher Boy, is a milestone release from a relentlessly pioneering artist who continues to both honor and extend the Americana and country blues traditions that inspire him.
Known for his rough-edged voice, vividly poetic storytelling lyrics, and masterful fingerpicking and slide guitar work, Preacher Boy conjures up a sound that has earned him comparisons to everyone from Howlin' Wolf and Bob Dylan to Tom Waits and Dr. John.
That Devil Music bestowed an early A+ on the release, declaring that "Preacher Boy has never been more compelling or intriguing than he is on Ghost Notes."
Preacher Boy’s career began with his debut on Blind Pig Records, an album that helped give birth to "alternative blues" as a genre that also included artists ranging from Chris Whitley and Alvin Youngblood Hart to The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and G. Love. Faster and Louder has called him "the godfather of alt blues," while The San Francisco Guardian tagged him as the “Charlie Musselwhite for the Lollapalooza Generation.
