Greetings Edheads Online

A big thanks to the well-wishers who have reached us in the aftermath of Hurricane Isabel. We're happy to report that all band members, their families, their double-wides and mansions are all fine -- suffering little more than strange debris in the yards. However, the entire region (from the Outer Banks to Maryland) has been devastated. Even as this email is being prepared, as many as 156 thousand homes in our Northern Virginia homeland are still without power. Many schools and businesses are also still dark.

In our small humble EFO world, one fallout of the mess was the cancellation of Robbie's Saturday performance at Jammin Java. JJ didn't get their power until Sunday, and yes, Robbie did perform on Sunday, but has opted to move the entire live recording project to another date -- stay tuned for updates.

EFO & FRIENDS LOWEN & NAVARRO TOUR THE MIDWEST THIS WEEK - OH, IL & MI

Just an end-of-the-month reminder that we'll be embarking on the Holy Toledo Tour with long time friends, Grammy- winning songwriters-turned-performers, Lowen & Navarro this week. While we've shared the stage with these handsome troubadours before, we've never done a block of dates like this: Sylvania, OH; Chicago, IL; Kalamazoo, MI. There's bound to be some fine cross-pollination of music between the two acts, and Eddie & Mike have already been recruited to contribute their Wyman/Watts backline chops to two of Dan & Eric's shows (apparently, they'll have some friends from the BoDeans join them at the Chicago show). These will be great shows, indeed, and with Eddie's birthday celebration thrown in - how can you lose? Details are below.

OCTOBER IS NUTS!!

We're cramming more travel in three weeks than Marco Polo! From Colorado to the long-since-played Salt Lake City to Birmingham, AL & Atlanta (Decatur) to a rescheduled run from Madison, WI to Ames, IA to Minneapolis MN -- phew... all in time to get home and prepare for Trick-or-Treating.....and as for NOVEMBER??
Three Birchmere dates? The Cruise?.......fuhgetabowit.

Please check with http://www.eddiefromohio.com for all updates and details
Show details for Late September and October are listed below (along with a list of dates through early Feb '04)

Hope to see you somewhere in these 50 states soon
Be safe
