Lancaster, Pa. based Strange Eden is a musical duet wowing audiences in the mid-Atlantic region with their expertly crafted covers of popular radio hits from the past three decades. The pair consists of:

Sara Eden (vocals and rhythm instruments) - bringing her natural charm and genuine warmth for others to the stage along with a sultry and edgy vocal style often likened to that of both Chrissie Hynde (The Pretenders) and Debbie Harry (Blondie).

D Cozzens (vocals and guitars) - a bonafide, 80's rock guitar-playing relic, D amuses audiences with his energetic and flamboyant performances and a bluesy vocal style reminiscent of John Mellencamp.

Employing the most current musical technologies, Strange Eden produces the pristine sound of an entire band, complete with backup singers, at a fraction of the space required and at controlled volume levels. They offer a blend of electric and acoustic formats.

Coming of age in the 80's, Sara Eden was drawn to the era's theatrical and dramatic style of pleasing a musical audience; she longed for an outlet to do the same.

With the exception of school musicals and choir, that outlet didn't truly arrive until more than a decade later when a colleague's rock band needed a last minute fill-in for an ill lead singer. It was that landmark experience that inspired her to create a roadmap for the future.

Sara Eden had the opportunity to serve as front woman and lead singer for several years in a successful cover band. She now feels fortunate again to have co-founded the Strange Eden project, and is energized by the new musical format and her passion for luring in audiences.

D’s been writing, recording and performing both originals and cover music since he got his first guitar in 1975. In the early 1990's he toured the country for almost 5 years as a solo artist. During this time he released 2 original albums; one of which produced a single which received radio airplay and charted on stations in Indonesia (of all places) in the Contemporary Christian format.

After a musical hiatus of several years, D moved to Lancaster, Pa. and eventually returned to playing clubs. It was at this time that he met a then unknown singer, Sara Eden, and together they spent 3 years performing as a part of a successful cover band. D & Sara reunited musically a few years after that project ended to form a duet. Strange Eden is born.

Stylistically, D’s musical roots can be traced back to the sounds of 70's & 80's guitar-driven bands. This influence is still very evident today in his style of playing as well as in the animated and often humorous approach he takes to live performance and audience interaction. Sara says that D has earned the reputation as the "strange" component of Strange Eden.....

Currently, D divides his musical efforts between performances with Strange Eden, solo gigs and with running a small recording studio in the Lancaster area. His studio specializes in musical composition based in digital and midi music technologies and in the recording and development of aspiring singer/songwriters.

Three other reasons why D is considered to be the ‘strange’ one:
-He discontinued all TV services in 2000, still doesn’t have any and has never regretted it.
-He’s never owned a cell phone and still doesn’t want one.
-He asks his Mom to send the same gift every year at Christmas: a fruitcake from a bakery in Texas.
