Darren Eedens & The Slim Pickin's

Darren Eedens is a full time banjo/guitar picker in a bluegrass, folk, roots and rockabilly style, both on the road and in the studio. Known in his travels as "The Dirty Little Picker" Darren has been relentlessly touring and releasing steadily for four years - a Canadian Musician who now calls Cardiff in Wales home, as he tours Europe more and more.

An old soul filled with storytelling imagination, Darren Eedens bends truths and creates upbeat rhythmic tracks with hauntingly morbid lyrics. With many influences from the honky tonkin’, folk and bluegrass pickers of the past, he uses his unique and powerful voice to captivate anyone within earshot.

"On his own he leaves audiences spellbound with his dazzling instrumental skills, startling old-school vocals (Imagine Buddy Holly sitting on a porch in the Appalachians) and tall tales. " -The Blues Magazine UK.
