"I met Eddie in March 2008. While he came to Miami we played music together. I find him to be a great musician. He is also an amazing promoter and was a big help with my new project. He even went to Universal Music to represent me. I find him very professional, pro active and dedicated to his work. All the best to you Eddie."

"I have played in Canada as well in my home land of Ecuador for almost 13 years. I am a professional drummer that has toured a bit in Alberta and British Columbia and have played some shows in Quito, Ecuador, South America. I played with Eddie for about two months this year full time. I am still working with him just part time recording a few songs for him on the drums. Eddie is a very professional musician. I am so glad I met him I learned a lot from him and still am. Eddie and I are friends and will remain that way for a long time. Eddie is not only a great guitarist, bass player, songwriter but a great person. He is very caring, respectful and kind. I recommend Eddie to anyone. He is a talented individual. "

" Regarding Eddie Black, My name is Kelly Miller. I had the opportunity to work with Eddie Black in my band as Bass Player after release of my Album in 2006. Eddie puts 100% into his work and is a very adaptable member to the music industry. Eddie is considerate of other band members and works hard to the best he can be. He takes great pride in his instrument and himself. You may not find a more pleasurable guy to work with. Always he is on time and reliable. Never once was there an issue of drugs, alcohol or concerns of that nature. Eddie is an upstanding guy all around. I wish him the best."

"I met Eddie in December 2005. We were auditioning bass players. We were pleased with Eddie and he stayed for about 1 month but unfortunately we had to let Eddie go because of internal changes. My guitarist went over to bass. We found that Eddie was able to pick up the music quickly. He is very easy going and a pleasure to work with. Since then, we have become good friends with Eddie. Eddie also came out to one of our out of town shows to help us do sound. He is an inspiring artist and would be an asset to any band."

"My new bride and I were delighted with your services. You truly do love your job and it shows in the way you get involved in your customers needs. Thanks so much for taking the time to sit down with us, to discuss exactly what we wanted and to give us suggestions along the way! It made a big difference The prelude music you played during the receiving line and dinner was perfect. The mixture of classical, soft and contemporary artists was really nice. Everyone seemed to be enjoying it thoroughly. During the dance you not only provided a great atmosphere through your stage setting, but also great music for everyone young and old. You managed to play just the right type of music at the right time, thus keeping the dance exciting. The variety of music you have is really great! Everyone was dancing! Thanks again Eddie, to a job well done."

"Eddie's love of music extends into the service he provides as a music instructor. He instills a motivation to learn and love music in my children. Eddie is very professional about the fundamentals of music and is able to translate this into a fun and motivating lesson by applying theory to individual interests. We would highly recommend Eddie as a music instructor for his love of music and interest in children learning and loving music for a lifetime."

"I felt that the children really had fun with the guitar and learned a lot especially since they only started in January. Eddie is dedicated to his music and to ensuring that the children are playing music that they like and can relate to. The kids really like free range picking their music and the jam sessions. I really like the home service. I would recommend Eddie and already have."
