After 25 years of ministry work and gospel music, Eddie has decided to slow things down. He now plays mostly acoustically in small venues such as restaurants, coffee houses and so forth. He began to develop his style of playing as a teenager in churches and sitting in with different groups, he also took every chance he could to play recording sessions picking up tips and tricks from
producers and engineers.
