ABOUT

Hi my name is Eddie, I am looking for like minded musicians in the area to work with as I moved to the Ormond Beach Aberdeen area in December of 2021. I'm originally from the Bronx, NY. I lived in Upstate NY in Dutchess County and have been in the music industry for a long time. I'm a Bass Player, Lead Vocalist, DJ & MC for well over 55 years having played with many a premier groups and assorted well known national acts in countless venues! I've covered all styles of music from Country, Rock, Disco, Pop, Oldies and Motown! I was born on December 05, 1951 and grew up in the late 50s and early 60s on the streets of the Bronx NY during the hay day of American Music. People tell me that I'm well known for my sense of humor, love of life and strive in all things to try to be a good person and a team player. I've opened up for many National acts over the years such as Clint Black, Phil Vassar, The Drifters, The Coasters, Johnny Maestro, The Shirelles, The Marvelettes, The Vandellas and more! I can bring a unique quality to any band in many genres of music. I also have worked in the wedding band industry. I am looking for like minded musicians in the area to work with as a sub any last minute paying gigs your stuck on due to unreliable players and no shows and would possibly consider working with an established band if things should mutually work out down the road.

Influences

Bottom line influences are a good mix of music that gets people up and out on the dance floor then coming back for more! Remember you need to play what the people like resulting in booking otherwise you wind up in a friends basement for years or simply just catering to other so called professional musicians in a garage band who are critical of everything with bad attitudes and not team players and fun to be play with? People can see when a band that's not happy doing what they do and making the audience happy are a bunch of sour self centered musicians. Bottomline playing Basic Crowd Favorites, 50’s, 60’s Oldies, 70’, 80’s Classic & Southern Rock and no Heavy Metal or Rap just Good Old Rock Fashion Rock and Roll, along with Classic Motown and Country Swing does the trick all the time a little bit of everything! Best regards, Eddie
