Eden Strummers

Blues • Rock • Pop - with a twist of their own

Eden Strummers are Paul Wilson and Mike Ferneyhough, a guitar-driven duo from Penrith, Cumbria. Formed in 2024 from a shared love of all things six-string, they bring together a mix of classic blues, rock and pop covers from the 60s to the 90s - all reworked in their own distinctive style - alongside a few original songs.

Rooted in Penrith’s vibrant local music scene, Eden Strummers honed their sound through regular open-mic performances at Plug & Play and Dockray Hall, as well as private events and local gigs.

Their sets feature music by Tom Petty, The Eagles, Peter Green, John Mayer, Albert King, Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Guns N’ Roses, Howlin’ Wolf, Thin Lizzy, Chris Rea, R.E.M., and Jeff Beck, among others.

In early 2025, they recorded at Stone Tone Studio, releasing the original Wetsuit Blues - a favourite with the Ullswater open-water swimming community - and a cover of John Mayer’s Gravity. Both tracks are available to stream on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and YouTube Music, with Wetsuit Blues also on Bandcamp.

Eden Strummers play regularly in and around Penrith — check the Gigs page for upcoming shows.
