Biography
Eden's Bridge fuses the spiritual depth of gospel traditions with the instrumental heritage of the Celtic isles. Lead vocalist Sarah Lacy describes the ensemble's intent as the desire to "compose honest lyrics that communicate with our holy God and give Him praise."
Billboard's Top 100 Christian Albums charts first featured Celtic recordings when Eden's Bridge issued Celtic Psalms and Celtic Worship. Three further projects appeared in 1998: Celtic Praise, Celtic Worship, Volume II and Celtic Christmas.
Alongside Lacy, the core lineup comprises David Bird on six- and 12-string acoustic and electric guitars, brush guitar, cittern, fretless bass and backing vocals; Richard Lacy, who handles piano, keyboards, Hammond organ, bodhran (tippered and brushed), rainsticks, shakers, Jude's chime, finger cymbals, backing vocals, tambourine and circular blade saw; and Jon Large, responsible for four- and five-string fretted and fretless basses. Album sessions have welcomed guests including Terl Bryant on Sonor drums, Zildjian cymbals, Burma bell, small bells, chimes, spanner chimes, ganzas, tambourine, tambourims, pandeiro, cowbells, jam blocks, shakers, multi guiro, chick-chock, Malachy Bodhran (tippered and brushed), zil-bel, caxixi, shell chimes, dholak and earth plates; Troy Donockley performing on low whistles, Uillean pipes and tin whistle; Simon Goodall supplying additional backing vocals; and Simon Wood on tin whistle.
