| About Eddie Rhoades |
|
I am a writer of songs that run the gamut of genres, magical mystical songs
that I believe in. I love to write story songs that have a beginning, a
middle an an end like my "Baby Blue Guitar" song, my "Rock Bottom Bar" song
and others similar. I also like songs that have simple lyrics where the
focus is mostly on the music as my "Cowboy Slide" tune which is a great
dance number. I have several humor songs including" "The Dolly Song" which
is all about Dolly and the twins, and "Toss It". I sang "Toss It" as the
opening number for the Durango Songwriter’s Festival in Ashville in 2008. I
have one children's song and two gardening songs. The gardening songs are
both getting radio air time. I have several country rock numbers plus some
real tear-jerkers. These songs and more are designed to bring out the full
range of emotions in you. They make people want to jump up and dance for
one song, laugh at the next and maybe even get teary-eyed at a poignant
number. These are songs that people can identify with. They are songs that
A&R music executives don’t necessarily like because they are not exactly
like the commercial songs you hear on the radio but the public loves these
songs of mine. (Many musicians face this same problem). I confess I don't
play out as much as I should or as I would like but I am working on that.
Sometimes I just sit in my basement and play to the wall. The times I have
performed for the public I did well as when I won the Talent Contest aboard
the Princess Cruise Ship and when I got the best reception at the Newcomers
Showcase at the Frank Brown International Songwriter's Festival in Gulf
Shores, Alabama. I won the Talent Contest aboard the Princess cruise ship. I
was a Showcase performer at Durango Songwriter’s Festival, In June 2008 I
played three venues in three days in Nashville. My first CD is titled "Last
Man Standing" available on http://www.cdbaby.com/eddierhoades plus I have a
second CD titled "Universal Love" in the works and it will be released in
2009. Still deciding where I will hold the CD release party(parties).
My brother Robert often joins me in my performances singing backup and
playing either guitar or conga drums. He also has a selection of beautiful
original love songs. I cannot begin to name all the musical influences in my
life but here are a few: Chuck Berry - the father of rock and roll lead
guitar, Buddy Holly - a white boy with soul and a great songwriter, Elvis
Presley - my hero, I loved the early Elvis and the Jordanaires, Bob Seeger,
Jimmy Buffet, Willie Nelson, Carl Perkins, Little Richard, Paul Simon, and
of course, The Beatles plus so many more. You are invited to visit my
website at http://www.bittersweetgardens.com and follow the musical links. I
am probably the most affordable performer around and am available for open
mic, house parties, music festivals and other venues. I am enjoying life,
gardening and music
