OUR BAND
Eddie "Big Legs" and
The Wayfarers
Eddie "Big Legs" and the Wayfarers deliver a sound that’s raw, real, and rooted in American tradition—where every note has a heartbeat and every solo tells a story. With Eddie’s unmistakable harmonica tone leading the charge, the band blends soulful guitar licks, deep-pocket grooves, and a stage presence that pulls audiences straight into the moment.
This isn’t a throwback act—it’s a revival. A modern take on the sounds that shaped generations, played with the kind of grit, soul, and musicianship that turns heads and fills rooms. From dance halls to listening rooms, Eddie and the Wayfarers don’t just perform—they connect. Their sets feel like a back-porch jam crossed with a freight train—tight, honest, and impossible to ignore.
Perfect for venues looking to bring something timeless yet fresh to the stage, Eddie "Big Legs" and the Wayfarers are more than a band—they’re a live experience built to move people.

Tribute To
Mr. S.D. Scottland
I started playing harp seriously back in the early '90s—learning the hard way. Tapes, books, anything I could get my hands on. Then a friend introduced me to S.D. Scotland, and everything changed.
S.D. lived just 30 minutes away, but the way he played? It felt like magic. I still get chills when I talk about him. He once looked at me and said, “Ed, I got thirteen kids—seven boys and six girls. None of them asked me, ‘Daddy, learn me how to blow the harp.’ But I got you down here, you big-legged white rascal, wantin’ to learn to blow!”
That’s where Big Legs came from.
S.D. didn’t just teach me how to play—he taught me how to listen. “Record the harp,” he said. “Listen to someone else and play it back.” That stuck with me.
He passed in 2005 while I was on my honeymoon. We didn’t find out until we got back. That hit me hard. Before he died, he told me I’d be the one to carry his memory. I’ve tried to live up to that every day since.
