National Book Award winner and Pulitzer prize-nominated poet Cornelius Eady has set his poetry to song with the Cornelius Eady Group. Eady’s songs tell the story of passing time, the Black American experience, and the blues in the style of Folk & Americana music. Guitarists Charlie Rauh & Lisa Liu join Eady to create layered and graceful arrangements to bolster Eady’s adept craftsmanship as a songwriter, lyricist, & poet.
Cornelius Eady Group has performed at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, AWP Conference, Peabody Essex Museum, and Hill-Stead Museum and recorded at Sun Studio in Memphis, TN.
Cornelius Eady is serving as the John C. Hodges Chair of the Excellence Department of English at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
