Unmistakably English in the same way as Christine McVie, Stevie Winwood, or Nick Drake, Joanna Eden is a singer songwriter who grew up in the heart of England listening to UK artists playing American blues, jazz and pop. A writing and recording trip to South America lends a vibrant new sound to her NEW ALBUM due for release autumn '24. 'THE ROAD TO PAYSANDU' combines singer/songwriter storytelling with joyous syncopation! Uruguayan bass player Andrés Lafone (Airto Moreira, Jon Cleary, Basia, Da Lata) is a pioneer of the UK Latin/Jazz scene with over 50 albums to his credit. Uruguayan guitarist Guillermo Hill (Mica Paris, Tom Jones, John Crawford, Monica Vasconcelos) is one of the UK's leading latin/jazz guitarists. Mojo magazine describes her songwriting as having ‘melody, mystery and bite’.
