Eddie Matthew
Lead & Harmony Vocals, Rhythm & Lead Guitar
Eddie lives it, breaths it and loves it. Music is what he does. It gives him all the means to express his thoughts, emotions, ideas and allows him to tell his story. His wife, daughter and son are his inspiration. Eddie has been performing on stage for over 12 years now and has no intention of slowing down. He has an influential list of music that could fill this page. He's simply influenced by "Good Music" - all types of music…..if it’s good, it’s good. He also enjoys performing for and with great people "I love to grab an audience’s attention with an emotional ballad, but also enjoy being part of the audience in a crowd-sing-along. I can’t wait to get on stage and party with you all!!!" says Eddie.
