Eddie Lanier joins Choc'Let to lay down REAL FUNK!!

Eddie Lanier was born in New Jersey, home to funk giants Parliament-Funkadelic and Kool N The Gang, but it was Sly & The Family Stone that turned me out and made me a funkateer for life. Bought my first guitar after hearing Sex Machine. Played guitar with a high school rock band that did a few SATFS songs. Later played in the back-up band for some singers in an organization run by Martha Taylor (wife of Richard Taylor singer with The Manhattans). Many of those musicians went on to work with Kool N The Gang. 

Maintained my love for SATFS and all related music throughout all these years. Throughout those years, I met and became friends with many of the original Family Stoners. For the last ten years or so, I frequently hook up with them mostly at the east coast shows. 

These days, I run the Sly & The Family Stone FB page which now has over 5000 members as well as the current Family Stone FB page.

I am associate producer for the upcoming Sly & The Family Stone Convention in Oakland.

Keeping the legacy of Sly & The Family Stone legacy alive...forever!
