8 Eyes

8 Eyes is a band from the Chapel Hill - Durham area of NC. 8 Eyes blends the sounds of electric and exotic stringed instruments with a solid foundation of pop songwriting. Their unique musical approach sets them apart from other groups on the "alternative" scene. Incarnations of the band have been trekking up and down the east coast since 1994. 8 Eyes has over 50 original tunes in the repertoire as well as many covers and can play virtually any event. They have played shows in places ranging from coffee houses to huge rock clubs and such landmarks as CBGB's. They have supported such diverse acts as Melissa Etheridge, Burning Spear, and folk icon Donovan. The three members are: Brad Newell (guitar, vocals, autoharp, mandolin, banjo and violin) is the primary songsmith and has several CD's to his credit. Adrian Foltz (drums, vocals) draws from his years of experience when holding down the steady beats and newest member Daniel Habib (bass, vocals) fills out the trio. They are constantly recording and playing out, so we can look for new releases from 8 Eyes on an ongoing basis. Keep checking in on them.
