Eden was the 2006 winner of the International Blues Challenge and will begin a year-long tour in November of this year to promote her latest album Mississippi Number One. She is featured on the Southern Arts Federations adjudicated online artist registry, SouthernArtistry.org, (www.southernartistry.orgEden_Brent).
