Review for Eddie Beavers:
Eddie hails from Alabama and now lives in Tennessee. A true Southern original, Eddie's music is shaped by a life full of hard-earned experiences, with deep roots in gospel, classic country, southern rock, blues and soul. His music is raw, real and soulful.
“I love playing music to crowds that enjoy a traditional-style baritone country voice,” he said. “It’s all I’ve ever done. I’ve been playing on stage since age 10 with my Dad’s band.”
Eddie has performed all over East Tennessee and western Wisconsin regions in country clubs, restaurants, bars, tiki bars, VFW’s and private parties and wedding receptions.
“I also worked with a road band for 15 years that opened for more than 50 national country acts in Wisconsin, Colorado, Nevada, Wyoming, South and North Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota, Alabama, Indiana, Tennessee and Canada,” he added.
His play list ranges from 1968 to 2024, and he covers a wide range of country stars, but especially anything by Merle Haggard. He plans on playing his own title, “Walking Into Walls,” “I Never Lie,” “Use Me,” and “Lonely For Long,” by Zach Top.
