We didnt realize the link was not working for the Eddie 9 photos. These photos were taking by my good friend Brady Houser and probably the best batch of photos from any of the previous Eddies. Brady donated his time and shot the event for free. Brady was very easy to work with. Feel free to download and use these photos however you would like. https://bradyhouser.smugmug.com/Events-1/Concerts/The-Eddie-9.
