Young Blues artists can be difficult to find these days. At least, it seems so. Lane and Eddie grew up under the influence of their Uncle Brian while listening to Blue’s greats, Otis Redding, Albert Collins, and a host of others. The raw talent exhibited by these artists left an indelible mark on the up-and-coming singer and guitarist.
Eddie 9V’s music career began as a teenager when his band, The Georgia Flood, represented the Atlanta Blues Society at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, TN. Since then, Eddie 9V’s talent and exposure have continued to expand.
