Some artists sound like they were born for a stage. Eddie 9V is one of them.

The Georgia-bred blues-soul artist has spent years honing a live show that draws from the deepest wells of Southern music — raw, sweaty and completely alive. On June 18, he brings that full experience here, and if you’ve never seen him perform, prepare to have your expectations reset.

Eddie 9V — born Brooks Mason — has built his reputation the hard way: relentless gigging, real storytelling and a sound that refuses to fit neatly into any one box. His 2024 album Saratoga sent his Spotify listeners soaring from 8,000 to over 800,000. Songs like “Halo,” “Love Moves Slow,” and “Saratoga” have earned him coveted SiriusXM Spectrum spins and an ever-growing army of devoted fans. He’s now signed to Easy Eye Sound, the Nashville label founded by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys, with a brand-new album on the way.

But numbers don’t capture what happens when the band locks in and Eddie steps to the mic. His shows move — literally. Rooted in the vintage textures of classic soul and blues, his performances pull you in from the first note and keep you there. This is a musician who has something to say and knows exactly how to say it.
