After a few years of kid bands and high school parties, it was onto the local club scene in Memphis. These shows would always include Eddie’s acoustic solo set.
In 2010, he released “Stayin’ Long” (title cut written by Eddie), it was well received and still a fan favorite. In 2017, he released “Legacy; The Memphis Sessions”, which he says is a tribute to the great musicians that he has been blessed to befriend and worked with.
