The best kept secret in music

Eden’s Lie, another long time favorite, returned to the stage after a year-long hiatus while they went through some lineup changes and recorded a new album. Singer extraordinaire Jeff Richards and guitar god John Maggio found a good bass player in Nate Dean.. The new material is expected to be released within the next few months, although the band is introducing their live crowds to it now. The more mellow “Say” is a great song-very catchy, something people will love to sing along with. The coolest thing about Eden’s Lie is that they never get so heavy you can’t tell what they’re saying. The music and lyrics always come through clear. The beauty in their expressions of pain is true art.........Jennifer Brand
