Brief Biography
Born Edward Harrington on January 10, 1935 in Macon, Mississippi, Eddy and his family moved to Birmingham, Alabama in 1948. With music from blues to gospel to country & western surrounding him from an early age, Eddy taught himself to play guitar (left-handed and upside down), and began performing with various gospel groups, including the legendary Five Blind Boys of Alabama. Upon moving to Chicago in 1950, his first music jobs were with gospel groups playing in local churches. By 1953, as Guitar Eddy, he was making a strong name for himself, working the South and West Side bar circuit.
He recorded a couple of 45's and gained increasing radio airplay. Throughout the 1950s, 1960s and into the 1970s, Clearwater found success among the North Side college crowd who responded to his individual brand of blues, his rock and roll spirit and his high energy stage show. Twice during the 1970s he toured Europe; and then recorded numerous albums for various labels during the 1980s and 1990s, Eddy's star continued to rise.
The prolific musician was nominated for seven Blues Music Awards, including a Grammy nomination in 2003 for his CD: Rock ‘N' Roll City. His newly released CD: WEST SIDE STRUT, has him touring everywhere from Russia, Turkey, and Romania to Brazil and Alaska. You can find him on stage these days, strutting his slicing guitar licks, his rock-fueled blues, rockabilly, country and gospel gumbo and his uninhibited live show to fans ready for a taste of the real West Side Chicago blues, played by a master at the very peak of his abilities.
