Time-traveling Eddies of the Wind winds up in Chattanooga

It’s 1910, and musical group Eddies of the Wind is traveling from Chicago. “We were being chased by Chicago mobsters who wanted to acquire the rights to our music,” says bandleader Jack Gray. “We possess a time-altering device known as The Bell Medallion. We randomly ended up here in Chattanooga-but we like it. We decided to travel to 2008 because we found that at no other time could an artist have so much control over their own product. We felt we could make a living in 2008 and then transport our wages to 1949 where the cost of living is still low.”
That’s how Gray explains the group’s retro look, and in fact, has created a whole mythology (or actual resume, if you want to believe) about the group’s journey. He refers to their sound as “a time capsule of modern music, featuring our own original compositions that lament the past, present and future of humankind.”
