Eddie "Devil Boy" Turner

  • Vangarde Arts 416 Pierce Street Sioux City, IA, 51101 United States (map)

“If anybody ever went down to the Crossroads and let the Devil tune his guitar it was probably Eddie Turner. Man, you get chills every time the guy strikes a note! And the expressions he makes while he’s talking out each lick leave one convinced he’s channeling other-worldly ancestral demi-gods.”

As a young player, Eddie would get his education by sneaking into the local clubs or hanging out in the alleys to hear the greats like Howlin’ Wolf, Jimmy Smith, and Chicago. But seeing Tommy Bolin in Zephyr kicked his dream into high gear! He followed Bolin and became lead guitarist for Zephyr before joining the Otis Taylor Band, which took Turner around the world.

He delivers a diverse blend of rock, voodoo blues, and R&B peppered with African rhythms, Turner’s music moves the feet while simultaneously haunting the soul. Vintage guitar quoted his album Rise as “personal super-modern music with verve and drive.” Guitar Player Magazine praised Eddie – “Turner’s otherworldly, atmospheric guitar style colors the inventive disc, offering a modern take on a classic genre.”
