There is a particular strain of Southern soul that does not politely introduce itself. It walks through the door already sweating, already testifying, already halfway through a guitar solo that sounds like it was born in a church parking lot. That is Eddie 9V’s natural register — and on Tuesday, June 23, he is bringing it to Daryl’s House Club in Pawling, NY.
If you know the name, you have been paying attention. If you do not, this is your moment.
About Eddie 9V
Born Brooks Mason in Atlanta, Eddie 9V spent years grinding the Georgia roots-music circuit in a city that does not hand anything to anybody. His sound is a collision — Southern soul and blues at the center, with rock and funk pushing in from the edges. The man plays guitar like he is settling an argument, and he sings like the argument was about something that mattered.
He built much of that reputation the hard way, self-recording his album Saratoga at the Echo Deco studio he runs with his brother and longtime collaborator Lane Kelly. The payoff has been steep: his Spotify audience climbed from roughly 8,000 monthly listeners into the hundreds of thousands as word spread. He has since signed with Dan Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound label, with a new record on the way in 2026. That co-sign is not a small detail — Auerbach has built Easy Eye into one of the few labels that knows how to record music rooted in tradition without embalming it.
Venue Info
Daryl’s House Club is, yes, that Daryl — as in Hall. The Pawling room is a dinner-and-a-show venue in the Hudson Valley, and it is one of the few rooms within reach of upstate New York where the intimacy is not a euphemism for cramped. You are close to the stage. You are eating real food. The artist knows you are there. For a performer like Eddie 9V, whose music lives and dies on the connection between the stage and the room, this is exactly the right setting.
