Weeds of Eden are an eclectic band based in Gainesville, Florida, performing together since 1994. Their sound is folk-rock, over a world-beat foundation. In addition to the original compositions, they cover hundreds of traditional, folk, R&B, Celtic, seasonal, and rock standards. The dudes in the band particularly like Cowboy and Filthy Pirate songs, but substitute cute lyrics over swear words if children are in the audience.
The Weeds have appeared on the PBS television series “CD Highway” and several of their recordings are in the sound-track of the award-winning documentary “Fish-Soup”. The Weeds have played onstage with rock legend Bo Diddley, Nashville singer/songwriter Pierce Pettis, and New York folksinger Joe Crookston. Returning to the Rum 138 stage, this Weeds of Eden show is gonna be more fun than a hoe-down! Dancing, eating, drinking, and merriment!
