Eager
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eager was a band initially created by Patrick Andrew of the band PFR. Patrick began forming the new band with Greg Pope in 1995. Greg (also a songwriter) had been touring with PFR as a backup guitarist. To dispel rumors of a PFR-breakup, Patrick explained the new band to the public as just "a side project". The two songwriters recruited drummer Paul Eckberg in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and the three moved to Nashville in the Fall of 1996. They quickly enlisted Mark Kloos from Raleigh, North Carolina, who was Greg's former bandmate in Apple Green and The Green Pope Band.
The group recorded a self-titled album in 1997 with producer Jimmie Lee Sloas, which was released in February 1998, and continued touring and playing live shows. The group disbanded shortly after releasing the album.
