Erik Eicholtz - Drums 61 South Was The Brainchild Of "Fast Layne" Hendrickson And The Original Members Were Layne JD Wilkes Erik Eicholtz Jonas Jeff Statler. This Was The Early 1990s. Fascinated By Blues' Beginnings Fast Layne Played In All Open Tunings And JD Was A Talented Young Harmonica Player. Erik Had Switched To Drums From Guitar And Was Playing Up A Storm. In 1995 Layne Decided To Split For New Orleans. That Meant The Band Didn't Have A Singer And Front Man. Even Though I Was An Even Worse Singer Than Guitar Player I Was Drafted And Did The Best I Could With What Little Talent God Blessed Me With. We Just Wanted To Keep Playing The Music We Loved. The 15 Years Since Have Been A Wild Ride At Times And A Fun Time Always. We Never Use A Set List. We Play What We Want To When We Or You Want To. Sometimes If Someone Wants To Hear A Song We've Never Practiced....We Try To Play It. It's Total Ad Lib And Spontaneity. That Means Sometimes It's Beautiful And Sometimes It's A Train Wreck But It's ALWAYS From The HEART And It's Always Fun. We've Been Through A Lot Of Members Over The Years But The Current Lineup Has Been In Place For About 10 Years With The Exception Of Danny Bell Who We Were Thrilled To Bring In A Few Years Ago. Erik Is The Only Original Member Left Although Any And All Former Members Are STILL Considered To Be Part Of 61 South And Have Returned On Occasion For A Gig Or Two And Some Fun. Although JD Left The Band Years Ago To Form The Legendary Shack Shakers He Still Returns Occasionally When His Schedule Allows And We LOVE Playing With Him. Layne's Come Back To Play With Us Too. What A Fun Time. Erik's Still The Last Man Standing. I'm So Glad Layne Thought Of And Formed 61 South Years Ago. It's Helped Me Through So Many Rough Times In The Years Since. I Don't Know How Long I Can Do It But I Know I Need To For As Long As I Can. In So Many Ways It Keeps Me Alive And Growing Especially Spiritually In The Blues. Facebook Lew Jetton & 61 South
