9th
Annual Free Concert and Potluck
Down By The Riverside
May 27, 2007
The Eddies used
to be a book club. Then we
became a singing group. We live on Saint Paul’s famous West
Side, on the banks of the Mississippi River. Eddies are whirlpools
or currents that are contrary to the mainstream ... that's us! Five
male voices, often acapella, sometimes with instrumental backup:
acoustic guitar, occasional accordion, a little mandola. We choose
music that is well enough known that we actually remembered it and/or
learned it because we like it and thought we could make it sound
good with 5 voices singing it.
We almost always "eddi-fy" our songs. W can't help it.

Minnesota Folk Festival (with Lou Killen)
The Eddies are always
fun. We have appeared at the
Two Harbors Folk Festival, MBOTMA Summer Festival, Minnesota Folk
Festival, Minnesota Irish Fair, St. Paul’s Capital New Year
Celebration, St. Patrick’s Day at Landmark Center, Big Deal
Fundraisers, Art Exhibit Openings, Community Events, Bars, Festivals,
50th Birthday Parties, etc.
The Eddies are Tom Welna (vocals), Mark Richardson
(vocals), Phil Platt (vocals and mandola), Paul Martin (vocals and
guitar) and Chuck Lentz (vocals and accordion).

A Note About Fonts
When The Eddies got started, we chose the font called Papyrus for
general use. It is a cool font, but too many people have started
using it. We had to change!
