The Fuuls

The Fuuls are an acoustic trio (guitars, sax, dobro, bass, vocals) that cross many musical boundaries. In a typical show, you might hear their unique version of songs from Bob Dylan, Hank Williams, The Who, Blind Faith, Steve Earle, Talking Heads, Neil Young, David Bowie, Rolling Stones as well as some originals.

Jeff began playing guitar and singing seriously in college during the American folk scare of the 1970s. Eden grew up playing music with her family and has been writing music since she was small. In 1993, Nate and Eden formed the band "Enormous".

Under the stars in the middle of the Sahara, sitting around the fire with their kids, Eden and Jeff discovered that there was something very special about the music they shared. The idea of playing together followed them back to Maadi. Nate joined them, bought a mail-order sax, Jeff shined up the dobro, Eden got her bass back from her sister and it was quickly apparent they this threesome was, without a doubt, THE FUULS.
