Eddie is without a doubt the most mysterious member of this hard rocking trio. Eddie started playing guitar when he was 15. Some of his favorite bands would include Dream Theater, King Crimson, Black Sabbath, and AC/DC.

Eddie’s biggest influences would probably have to be Randy Rhodes, and Eddie Van Halen.
Many great singers not only have their own style, but also quite often have the uncanny ability to sound like the artist that they are covering. Eddie Machete is no exception.

On the local level, he hasn’t been over played, which is a good thing for 9-LIVES.
He is probably best known for his work in Tribal Reign from Niagara Falls, and Day for Night, which is an excellent Tragically Hip Cover band. The Day for Night project has been playing to standing room only crowds, so be sure to check it out! Eddie shows off some awesome bass playing abilities in that project.

His main contributions to the band are a great guitar sound, the ability to sing a super wide variety of material, and even is the bands sound engineer.
