EDEN BRENT MAKES NEW ORLEANS JAZZ & HERITAGE FESTIVAL DEBUT MAY 2 ON EVE OF NEW ALBUM 'JIGSAW HEART,' OUT MAY 6 ON YELLOW DOG RECORDS

Eden Brent – the Mississippi chanteuse and piano mistress called "irresistibly fresh" by NPR.org – will make her New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival debut May 2.

A former highlight of WWOZ's Piano Night during JazzFest week, Brent made her acclaimed 2010 album 'Ain't Got No Troubles' in the Crescent City. For her new release 'Jigsaw Heart' (May 6 / Yellow Dog Records), she traveled to Nashville, TN to record with renowned producer Colin Linden (Lucinda Williams, Lindi Ortega). The resulting album is an artistic high-water mark for the Mississippian, her piano-pounding prowess counterbalanced with vocals and songwriting that recall a grittier Norah Jones in their emotional depth.
