"Originally hailing from El Centro, Eddie Jason Coven came to San Diego in 2004, after a two year stint as a musician for hire throughout northern California. He worked as a session keyboardist for fledgling hip-hop label FTS Productions and, in 2005, became the keyboardist in Azariah’s Dream, an original pop/rock band founded by Sandi Shaner and Annie Heller. He’d go on to co-front a cover band with Shaner called A.D. Rox, until departing in 2006 to pursue solo projects.
In 2007, Coven and Sandi Shaner began to collaborate on originals, which led to the forming of the Sandi Shaner Band with Paul Guggliotti and the Reverend Stickman. This later led to the 2008 release of Touch Me Again, with material from Azariah’s Dream and from Shaner’s personal catalog. Coven also joined the Reverend Stickman on stage a few times during 2007.
Around this time, Coven began playing guitar for solo performances, leaving the keyboard to collect dust for a while. His debut four-song EP Tiffany was released in 2008, a period during which he also collaborated with Chris Leyva in Blizzard and Revolution ‘89.
2008 also brought a collaboration with friends Harry and Nancy from Folding Mr. Lincoln, with Coven joining other local songwriters to record “All The Way To Redwood,” on Folding Mr. Lincoln’s album Within My Reach (nominated Best Americana at the 2009 SDMAs).
As of 2009, Coven works with Chris Leyva’s Black Cherry Music Group and plays keyboards in a Led Zeppelin tribute band, Presence of the Holy, in addition to his solo performances. He’s also Vice President of the San Diego Songwriter’s Guild."
