- DUFFY DUYFHUIZEN
Duffy Duyfhuizen was born and raised in New York City, and came to Eau Claire in 1984 by way of Tulsa, Oklahoma. His musical influences include urban folk (Paul Simon), Jersey rock (Bruce Springsteen), and country folk (John Prine and Townes van Zandt). A veteran solo artist, Duffy also plays on a regular basis with the full line-up of Davey J and the Jones Tones.
- JOEL PACE
Joel Pace also grew up on the east coast in Providence, Rhode Island, and he came to Eau Claire by way of Oxford, England. Joel majored in music in college before turning his attention to the study of literature. His musical influences range from salsa, to reggae, to hip hop. In addition to his work with Eggplant Heroes, Joel is a founding and continuing member of Irie Sol.
- OLAF LIND
Olaf Lind spent many of his growing up years in London, England before his family moved to Wisconsin. Olaf’s musical talents were evident at an early age, and he studied classical violin and viola at the Interlochen Center for the Arts in Michigan before returning to Eau Claire. Comfortable with Bach, bluegrass, and the blues, Olaf also plays with Lucas K and the Coolhand Saints.
- MAX GARLAND
Max Garland’s musical roots are in his home state of Kentucky. There he honed his guitar and vocal skills with traditional mountain gospel tunes and bluegrass. Max came to Eau Claire by way of the Iowa Writers Workshop and Madison, WI. In addition to songwriting, Max has published two acclaimed, prize winning books of poetry: The Postal Confessions and Hunger Wide as Heaven. He is also the 2013-15 Wisconsin Poet Laureate.
Eggplant Heroes play music that spans folk, gospel and literary traditions. From old favorites to original works, you are sure to find yourself pleased to listen.
Two guitars, one trumpet, a mandolin, a violin, a bass, an electric guitar (for necessary twang) the occasional bit of hand percussion, and a whole lot of harmony… That’s what Eggplant Heroes have to work with. Add in a bit of poetry, or a sentence or two from a time tested text, and you just might have something!
ABOUT THIS ALBUM
BY CDBABY
Don't despair: Better Weather is here.
One of the great things about this group is its many voices—literally, there are several band members. But there are also different songwriting voices, each with a unique perspective, style, and resonance. The diversity of message and sound keeps the album fresh and engaging. Songs offer humor and heartbreak, longing and beauty, compassion, joy, and all that stuff about being human. A very good listen, with excellent musicianship and harmonies bringing all the voices together so darn well.
