Heres some info that most people don't know about Eddie Crowe. First things first.I'm sure you've heard the song,CROSSTOWN TRAFFIC By JIMI HENDRIX

That song has special meaning to me. The part where JIMI sings TIRE TRACKS ALL ACROSS YOUR BACK

In 1980 I was completely ran over by a Z28 Chevy Camaro.

It ran over my foot and continued up my legs and up the middle of my back and over my head. THAT HURT!!

Its a good thing I drank that quart of COLT 45 or it would have really hurt. Mud, saved my life. I don't know why it didn't kill me. It is a miracle for me to still be living.

There hasn't been one day since it happened, that I haven't thought about it. I had a tread mark in the middle of my back between my shoulder blades. I had been working in the steel mill 7 years at the time. I continued working another 22 years until 6 months before I planned to retire, the company, BETHLEHEM STEEL,went bankrupt.They stripped me and many of my brother and sister steelworkers of our pensions and benefits. Therefore, there isn't much that can happen to me that really bothers me all that much. It does,but it doesn't. I write and sing about those things. Every day of life is a gift. Now that you know this about me,lets move on to the reason you came here.

Biography

Eddies love of live music began as a small child. He was always right up in front of the band, whenever his parents would go out to family oriented social club events. There were also several bands in his neighbor hood. When they practiced he would hear it and be right there on the scene, listening and learning.

All of Eddies free time, when not working rotating shifts in the Steel Mill was spent on the live music scene. Eventually he started playing drums and then, after the untimely death of his friend and mentor Walter "Lightninbug" Rhodes, he became a singer.

Eddie took note of who the most authentic, realistic sounding blues players were, at the local jam sessions that he attended frequently.

In 2000 he applied for and landed a daylight job. The job, as a mechanic in the BULL GANG meant doing industrial mechanical build up and prep work every day, when he could have cruised a little on the evening shifts.

Eddie wanted to form a band of his own and felt the extra work was worth it.

QUOTE

I couldn't ask for a better group of musicians to get the job done. The band paints the picture. I just do the captions. They make my job easy to do.

When you see the BLUES UNCHAINED Perform, you will notice that when I'm on stage and not singing,my focus isn't on the audience. My focus is on the band. I am as entertained by them as anyone at the show.

When I used to play drums for Lightningbug Rhodes, I always felt like I wanted to be in front, watching him play,and listening from a better vantage point.

You actually miss alot when you are on stage.

I used to be in the back looking forward. Now that i'm up front, I look back. I'm actually a spectator,a fan. I'm in the audience like everyone else. The band entertains me.

I'm just the singer. The band is their own entity.

They just let me sing with them, and I'm glad they do.
