Eddie and The Valiants are a musical tribute to a singular sound that originated in the 1960s on the West Side of San Antonio. The group is focused on the genre sometimes referred to as, "That West Side Sound" or, "South Texas Soul." This collection of top-notch local players and singers began taking shape in the spring of 2017. To date, the set list includes songs by The Commands, The Cheaters, Doug Sahm, Sunny and The Sunliners, and The Royal Jesters, among others. TheIR live shows (one of which was providing direct support to Durand Jones and The Indications) ARE CONSISTENTLY preceded by considerable buzz. Stay tuned as the band works on expanding repertoire and maintaining the reputation that has begun spreading by word of mouth.
AS OF SPRING 2022, THE BAND HAS BEGUN PLAYING OUT AROUND TOWN. KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR SOME EXCELLENT GIG ANNOUNCEMENTS, AND STAY TUNED AS THINGS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP.
