Eddie 9V Drops New Single “Saratoga” with a Desert Disco Twist

Atlanta-based blues virtuoso Eddie 9V is gearing up to set the music scene ablaze with his latest release, “Saratoga,” dropping on Friday, April 26th, 2024. The track, which serves as the lead single from his upcoming studio album slated for later this year, promises to captivate listeners with its unique blend of desert vibes and disco undertones.

According to Eddie, the inspiration for “Saratoga” struck amidst the vast expanse of a western landscape. “We had an off day on the road, and I found myself on a random Air B&B porch, picking a riff I had been toying with,” he recounts. “As I scribbled down lyrics, a magnificent mule deer grazed before me, adding to the surreal backdrop.”

With its infectious groove and evocative lyrics, “Saratoga” transports listeners to the heart of the Rocky Mountains, where Eddie chose to record the album. “I wanted to capture that outdoorsy essence,” he explains, “and Denver provided the perfect setting.”

Hailing from the musical hotbed of Atlanta, Georgia, Eddie 9V has carved out a niche for himself in the blues circuit with his electrifying guitar prowess and soulful songwriting. Drawing inspiration from blues legends like Freddie King, Eddie’s music has been hailed as “fresh and life-affirming” by Rock and Blues Muse, while Classic Rock lauds it as “the most instinctive blues you’ll hear all year.”

Coinciding with the single release, Eddie will embark on a UK tour in May 2024, bringing his infectious energy to venues across the country. Kicking off at The Grace in London on May 13th, the tour will also include stops at Komedia in Brighton, The Bodega in Nottingham, and The Louisiana in Bristol.

Joining Eddie on the road is The Zac Schulze Gang, a powerhouse ensemble hailing from Gillingham, Kent. Led by electrifying guitarist and vocalist Zac Schulze, the band draws inspiration from 20th-century blues icons like Dr. Feelgood and Rory Gallagher. With a reputation for delivering blistering blues-rock performances, The Zac Schulze Gang has garnered acclaim both at home and abroad, earning five nominations at the 2024 UK Blues Awards and gracing the stage at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Festival in LA.

As anticipation builds for the release of “Saratoga” and Eddie 9V’s forthcoming album, fans can expect an exhilarating musical journey that seamlessly blends tradition with innovation, setting a new standard for blues in the 21st century.
