BIOGRAPHY

Originally from the suburbs of New York City, Eddie got his start as an opening act in New Orleans. After a brief stint in the U.K., he headed to San Diego to front an alt-rock band and later moved to NYC to work the singer-songwriter venues.

Eddie's self-produced first solo release, the 2003 Governortea EP, was acclaimed “a musical drug” (Indie-Music.com), “very special indeed” (Leeds Music Scene) and garnered worldwide airplay and spots on MTV.

Eddie's later acoustic demos, recorded with producer Kerryn Tolhurst in NYC, were featured in independent film “Approaching Union Square," Sirius/XM Satellite Radio, the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame, and Billboard Magazine.

In 2009 Eddie went to Vienna, Austria, to finish working on material for a future album. He returned to the U.S. later that year to meet up with Kerryn in Tucson, Arizona, where they recorded The Point of Caring.

Sessions: David Bazan

It was pretty slow. I mean, I played [the songs] on acoustic guitar for a long time, but I didn’t know how to transfer them to the other format. I didn’t want it to be a solo acoustic record.
