Eddie was weaned on a folk, electric blues and classic rock soup that left him as at home on acoustic as electric instruments and imbued him with deep respect for music’s Afro-American roots.
A prolific songwriter, his albums range from Solo to Big Band and Power-Rock trio as he wrings every drop of inspiration and technique out of the Blues tradition and develops his own writing.
Touring 35 countries, with 17 acclaimed original albums and a string of National and International Awards and Nominations he has become known as “The Ambassador of British Blues”.
For two years Eddie played the US “chitlin circuit” from a base in Texas, and has had one-man band residencies on Beale St in Memphis and in the Juke Joints of Clarksdale, Mississippi.
His songs have graced TV and film soundtracks, and his live performances continue to be awe-inspiring. He is frequently broadcast on international radio, has performed many times on TV and recorded 3 sessions for BBC Radio 2.
Eddie is widely regarded as one of the world’s best contemporary players, and was lauded as an Innovator for his rack-harmonica skills at the World Harmonica Festival in Germany where he performed solo, held a Masterclass and co-judged the World Blues Harmonica Competition.
