TWO-BIT EDDIE was born in the fall of 2001 by Norm Rau & John Thomas as a vehicle to play their favorite music. They began as a hard-core blues band playing tunes from artists as diverse as Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Louis Jordan, R.L. Burnside, Son House, Luther Allison, Taj Mahal and others.
As players and vocalists came and went, their sound and song list evolved to fit the musician's strengths. The band began to play more R&B tunes and 60's music. As is the case with many bands, musicians came and went over the last several years until now, three like-minded souls have found a home with Norm & John ... Jim Dant, drums/percussion, Stin Fox lead/slide/12-string/acoustic guitar & vocals and Arnie Reed, keyboards & vocals.
Two-Bit Eddie offers their audiences the greatest music ever recorded ... from the rock'n'roll of the late 50's to the Memphis and Motown R&B of the 60's and early 70's, to the garage/frat rock we all did the Gator to, a good dose of tunes from the British Invasion, classic Chicago & Mississippi blues and a touch of indispensable country.
