Eden & John's East River String Band

Eden and John's East River String Band are a New York City based duo who play country blues from the 1920s and 1930's. Members are John Heneghan (guitar/mandolin/vocals) and Eden Brower (ukulele/vocals). They often have other musicians sit in with them including Dom Flemons of The Carolina Chocolate Drops, Pat Conte of The Legendary Otis Brothers and Robert Crumb of The Cheap Suit Serenaders. Their 2008 release Some Cold Rainy Day CD/LP features artwork by the underground comic legend Robert Crumb.

Crumb also did album covers for Big Brother and the Holding Company's second album Cheap Thrills, the Memphis Jug Band, Cliff Edwards and several others for Yazoo Records and Blue Goose Records. Some Cold Rainy Day was chosen by David Fricke as one of his 'picks' of the month in the November 2008 issue of Rolling Stone.

The East River String Band has released two CDs and one LP, Some Cold Rainy Day (2008) and Sweet East River (2006). Both feature John Heneghan & Eden Brower on guitar, ukulele, and vocals as well as special guests, including legendary stride pianist Terry Waldo on three tracks of Some Cold Rainy Day.
