Eddy grew up in Brunswick,
Georgia and Ava grew up near Greenville, South Carolina in a small town called Taylors. As a child, Ava spent most of her
summers with family in Kings Mountain, NC, another small town about 30 miles from Charlotte, NC.
They met in 1987 and married in Nashville, Tennessee in 1988

of Trevecca Nazarene University located in Nashville, TN.
They were members of a 10-piece horn band for many years called "Nobody's Business" and a smaller version
of the same band called "This Is It." Both bands enjoyed playing in Nashville on Printer's Alley, 2nd Ave
and many other locations throughout the southeast.
In 1998 they recorded their CD, "You Can't Get There From Here." They had a small
success with this CD and it is available at their on-line store. In August of 2006, they released their Christian CD.

It has been amazing to see how the
Lord brings us all together at each of these services and allows us all to focus on worshiping GOD together! What a blessing
and an honor to be a small part of these sweet meetings with HIM.
They like to travel in their Class A RV and play music and witness and fellowship wherever God leads them. If you
would like to have them play at your Church, Supper-club, Yacht Club or restaurant (they love to play Jazz at
Italian restaurants), please contact them at 615-319-3226 or

Attention
Churches!! They will be delighted to play for offerings or love gifts as long as their traveling
expenses are covered.
