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). The one-of-a-kind great singers of shanties and other upscale songs of life, The Eddies, engage audiences with a compelling mix of traditional, roots, and contemporary songs with multi-party harmonies. Their "Songs of Work, Love, and Death" are often acapella, but also accompanied by guitar, mandola, and accordion.
