BIO:

Bus Stop Eddy is a big rock in the middle of the Lower Haw River in North Carolina just above a rapid called Gabriel's Bend. Savvy river runners would 'eddy out' behind it to scout the rapid below. Hurricane rains have washed the rock away but the name remains.

Bus Stop Eddy combines the talents of Folk Funk Troubadour Eric Bannan and Harmonica Virtuoso Dan Pasek.

Eric has been a professional beach bum, US Coast Guard rescue flight crew, touring funk bassist and a Tai Chi instructor. Eric brings this and 25 years of performing to the stage as a dynamic and humorous entertainer. A spellbinding story teller; his songs can invoke the wonder of an Alaskan sunrise or the longing of a windswept beach in a deserted Florida tourist town.

Dan does not talk much, his harmonica playing says it all. A seasoned veteran with 30 years of gigs under his belt, Dan is fluent in many styles and his playing is the perfect complement to Eric's voice and energetic guitar and mandolin playing.

With influences that include John Prine, Jimmy Buffet, James Brown, Miles Davis, Muddy Waters and the Muppets, Bus Stop Eddy serves up a dish of Funky Contemporary Folk and Humorous Blues.
