Joanna Eden - Press Pack

Press Pack

Her album “My Open Eye”
The over-whelming response to Joanna’s self-penned second album My Open Eye has taken her into a different phase in her career. With new management, meetings at record companies, some serious press (Mojo:- “beauty and broken glass all at once”), some serious gigs – like supporting Jamie Cullum and Nerina Pallot in front of an audience of 10,000 at Audley End, airplay on Radio 2, and seeing her album on sale in supermarkets; Joanna’s feet have hardly touched the ground!

She dedicates “My Open Eye” to her family – especially her husband Charlie and four-year-old daughter Drousha. ‘She’s given me so much – not least she’s taught me to value my time. The whole album has been a kind of therapy – finding “me” again and addressing all my relationships through the eyes of a mother.”

The future...

Joanna has just released Moving Shadows on the 33 Jazz label. It's an album mixing classic ‘60s pop (Alfie, A Taste of Honey, Yesterday) with jazz standards (The Midnight Sun, When I Fall In Love, Nature Boy). The simple trio line-up features collaborators bassist Julie Walkington and drummer Charlie Price.

Now Joanna’s clearer than ever before about what she wants; time to write, time to record ‘I’ve got so many songs that I just need to be let loose on the world!’, and loads of gigs ‘where people come, ready to listen…wanting to go on a journey, ready to use their minds and brave enough to try and get into mine!’
