Organisers confirmed Eden would make her Winter Blues debut during the July 27 to 30 event after confirming the full artist line-up.
The vocal sensation shot to prominence when she won the first series of The Voice Australia in 2012.
Eden has released four studio albums, My Journey, which went to number one in Australia, Things I’ve Done, Born to Fight and her latest, Into the Black.
The artist line-up includes giants of the Aussie festival scene, such as 19-Twenty, Dom Turner, Lloyd Spiegel, Fiona Boyes, Frank Sultana, Owen Campbell, and Hat Fitz and Cara.
The cream of local and national touring artists is headed to Echuca-Moama, including Blues Roulette, Catfish Voodoo, Geoff Achison, Jesse Redwing, Julian James, Fools, Mike Elrington, Collard Greens and Gravy, Phil Para Band and Cass Eager.
The Winter Blues Festival celebrates its 24th year in 2023 and organisers said it promised something for everyone.
It has gone from humble beginnings in 1999 as a one-Sunday afternoon event on the street with a handful of bands, to become a festival that sprawls across four days in venues around Echuca.
The festival is one of the longest-running and most important events on the blues festival calendar.
And as always, the event is free.
