Troubadour of the Northwest, Karl Blau, kicked it in the studio with us this week while he was passing through Seattle on his way to Portland. Karl and I have been talking about doing a show for a couple months now and the timing couldn't have been better. Karl's latest album Nature's Got Away is coming out on K Records September 23rd and on 9/16 Spin Magazine named him Artist Of The Day. In good taste I might add. Tune in Saturday night for an hour of beautiful "live" music by Karl including a song that he wrote and recorded this week and an absolutely stunning acoustic version of 2 Becomes 1.

Thanks to Bill Wolford for filling in for me the past couple weeks! I've been in Los Angeles coordinating a benefit concert for the David Lynch Foundation. The show had a great lineup which you can see here plus a special last minute addition of Ezra Reich (pictured left at the benefit) with Fairfield's own David Hurlin accompanying him on drums. I've posted a re-cap of the night in my blog and more pictures from the concert are posted to the DLF myspace.  read more »

Tonight! A special show in honor of the 20th birthday of Sub Pop Records ...give or take your definition of 20th anniversary as they have actually been in existence in some form or another for a little longer than that. I'll be highlighting some of my fave Sub Pop songs from the past 8 years or so... I'm sorry I just can't go grunge on you. I know I know... I COULD play some of the music that put Sup Pop on te map, like Nirvana, Mudhoney, Soundgarden and Green River ...but alas that would mean also reminiscing about Seattle in the 90's and that could take a long time and would mean I'd have to whip out old pictures of me with a chelsea haircut and ripped jeans. I can't bring myself to do that to you ...or me. A girls got a reputation to maintain ;-)  read more »

Erin got a little tied up this week.

Tune in Saturday night at 9pm to find out what kind of trouble I can get into without her around!-Bill

Due to technical difficulties this show did not air at its original time. It will broadcast tonight at 9pm CDT.

For the love of Patty Duke, I'll lbe featuring some songs from the Patty Duke Fanzine compilation. Alongside the flashback there will be good things old and new ...very new to me any way. Like Yacht, Jona Bechtolt's one-man band formerly musically paired with talented Khaela Maricich of the Blow  read more »

Tune in Saturday evening for an in-Studio performance and interview with singer-songwriter Dennis Driscoll, K Records alumni and founder of Egg Recordings. Dennis is a quirky and lovable storyteller and artist and will share some poems and a few spanking new songs.

Saturday night at 9pm you'll find me with my hand in the Harry Candy jar ...reaching for a couple songs from the latest Ball of Wax compilation. In other words, you will be served a dessert buffet as diverse as the 35 Seattle and New York musicians that were randomly selected to write songs together within a 24 hour period to create the 11th volume of Ball of Wax. The results are tasty.

Save room for second dessert! There's more goodness to be had in this hour of Eden's.

Jason Webley joins Eden's Hour for a special in-studio interview and live performance. While he may be sans orchestra for this interview, we can expect nothing less than fantastic from this energetic one man band.

Jason was supposed to be launching a tour with his long-time friend and musical comrade Amanda Palmer from the Dresden Dolls. However due to Amanda's need to get surgery, the shows were cancelled unexpectedly. Sad for the artists and the many people who had already purchased tickets to the much anticipated shows, but lucky for us because he had time to share with us his awesome gypsy and punk inspired folk music. And we also get a chance to pry a bit into his personal desire to seduce Leonard Cohen. Do I smell a collaboration? We can hope so...
