Brilliant, rockin’ Americana

"His two-hour-plus show is a roundhouse kick to rock-and-roll cynicism, a high-spirited affair led by a man who seems intent on giving the audience its money’s worth and having a great time doing so." — The Washington Post

"Eddie hasn’t lost his knack for bitterly funny roots rock." — The New Yorker

"Eddie writes like a cowboy poet, a rock ‘n roller and a country tunesmith all rolled into one. Part Steve Earl, part Guy Clark, part Springsteen, John Eddie is one hell of an artist." — Performing Songwriter

On the roller-coaster of his career so far, John Eddie has had enough big breaks, hard luck, new beginnings, false starts, serious adventure, and big fun to inspire a boxed set of country-rock songs. A Bruce Springsteen protégé, an 80’s one-hit wonder, a has-been who barely was, Eddie today is heralded as a brilliant singer-songwriter, a mature musician who has kept his integrity and his rock ‘n roll dreams.

With his new album Who the Hell Is John Eddie? getting airplay across the country, Eddie has been picked to tour with such luminaries as Melissa Ethridge, Lisa Marie Presley, and Robert Earl Keen. With his own band, he performs haunting ballads, rocking anthems, and awesome covers that leave the audience gasping for breath. The boyish swagger in his voice reveals a lurking vulnerability, and his charisma and on-stage humor are simply unmatched.

At your next event, hire a true musical genius. Hire someone who deserves every break that could come his way, someone who has remained dedicated to his craft through thick and thin, someone who will make you remember why you love rock ‘n roll. Hire John Eddie — before he gets so famous you can’t afford him!

A personal note from Rollin Riggs, owner of Mustang Productions:
I saw John Eddie several times when I was in college in the 80’s. He dropped out of sight, and then I heard he was playing a show at the Peabody Hotel in the summer of 2003. I took my wife, and we had a blast. He gave one of the best live performances I’ve ever seen. Personable and funny, awesome band, great songs, gorgeous voice—what more could you ask for? John is an artist who rocks, a showman who’s sincere and smart, and he’s made me a fan for life.
