about

Joshua, a Bay Area musical arborist, returned home to Maine to record his newest release, Rust and Sand, to collaborate with his younger brother, Dan Boyden, drummer, producer and founder of Finestkind Music. The two first worked together in Oakland on Eden’s 2015 album, Reach, alongside some of the Bay Area’s finest. Having long dreamt of making music, the brothers confirmed after those sessions that this was a recipe worth repeating.

In early 2019, Boyden assembled a cast of musicians to bring more of his brother’s songs to life. This included their sister, Sarah Boyden. With their shared DNA, both genetic and musical, the siblings created an authentic, grounded sound that draws from a deep well of influences; Folk, Soul, Jazz, Americana, Rock and Blues. A sound that tastes like Tom Waits, Joe Henry and the Wood Brothers wrapped in a tortilla dipped in Bonnie Raitt, served at a local speakeasy,

about

Joshua Eden Berkeley, California

The sound tastes like Tom Waits, Joe Henry and the Wood Brothers wrapped in a tortilla dipped in honey, served at a local speakeasy, A feast of gritty soul that ranges from smokey blues to melancholy ballads to rowdy swing. The fat notes of the bass resonate with Joshua’s gravelly vocals as he recounts tales of the road, drunken sailors, emancipation, love, death, promises and destiny. ... more
