Lane Baldwin
Gary Jones
In-Store Clinics with Deeper Blues

Join Eden's Special Projects Coordinator Lane Baldwin and his band Deeper Blues, for an evening of fun, music and more, as they present information on Eden, Randall and Washburn products, and hand-out armloads of swag!

A long-term Eden endorser, Lane now serves as our Special Projects Coordinator and Artist Relations rep. He is also the bassist, vocalist and leader of Deeper Blues, an all-original Blues trio. Guitarist Gary Jones is a Randall and Washburn endorser with twenty-five years of touring and recording to his credit. The band's new CD, Dig the Hole, features thirteen cuts of the raw, emotionally charged Blues (everything from porch "shout-outs" to Power Blues), that legend Johnny B. Gayden calls "the best new Blues out there." Dave Hufstedler, Bass department manager for Alpha Music (VA Beach, VA) said of Lane's presentation, "Lane was awesome! Everyone was spell-bound with his performance ... our best [Bass Club] meeting so far. ... a total inspiration and very educational.". For more on Deeper Blues, see their web site and MySpace page.

As we speak, Empire Productions is finalizing hundreds of details to bring bassists as much fun, music and education as possible in a four-hour time block. "The hardest part," said co-host Lane Baldwin, "is deciding which segments to do weekly and which to do on a rotating basis. We've got so many things to offer and they're all going to be a blast."
