Fast Eddie & The Slowpokes

Founded by Greenbelt's Ed Crowley, Fast Eddie & The Slowpokes debuted at the DC Blues Society's Annual Fish Fry and Blues Show and won the Society's Battle of the Bands the following year, earning a spot at the 2013 International Blues Challenge in Memphis. In 2016 they took the Society's "Memphis or Bust Battle of the Bands" and advanced to the semi-finals in Memphis against 187 bands — a run that landed them on stage at the Kennedy Center in March 2017.

The Slowpokes are regulars at the Greenbelt and Colonial Beach Blues Festivals and at venues from the New Deal Cafe and Old Bowie Town Grille to rooms in Baltimore, Columbia, and Northern Virginia. They've headlined Pearl Street Warehouse at The Wharf and The Hamilton, played the Blues Cruise on the Susquehanna, and toured as far as Philadelphia, Richmond, Winchester, and the Maryland-Delaware beaches.
