Bruno's beefs up weekend programs
Guitarist Eddie, Comedian Fromstein to appear this weekend
b Crai 1 Cam
The Collegian
This weekend Bruno's will
rock to the sounds of Mark
Eddie, acoustic guitarist, and
roll with laughter to the
zaniness of Stevie Ray
Fromstein.
Beginning his musical
career in high school, Mark
Eddie formed a band called
Astra that played at local
dances. After high school,
Eddie and his friends continued
to play while attending
Youngstown college. Astra
released the single "All I Need
Is Your Love" which reached
number one in the Pittsburgh
area. After college the band
went on to other jobs, but
Eddie continued in his musical
career.
He plays a variety of
instruments including piano,
drums, mandolin, and bass
guitar. Eddie prefers the guitar
and, to be more specific, the
acoustic guitar because
although the electric guitar has
amplifiers and speakers, "you
can bang on the acoustic guitar
and really bang out tunes."
Covering material by his
heroes Sting, The Rolling
Stones, Joe Jackson, and Elvis

Costello, Eddie has played
with Damn Yankees, Bad
Company, Bachman Turner
Overdrive and Jackson Browne.
He gets his inspiration to
perform from the audience and
his desire to make them forget
about their troubles and
problems. His wife Cindy,
agent David Sedelmeier and his
producer, Rick Witkowski,
also push him to develop his
skills and try harder.

Pizza, The Ford Motor
Company, Kahn's Deli Meats,
and others. The future seems
bright for Mark Eddie, whose
plans are to continue forging
his own style, work on a
record deal, to play and get
crazy, and, most importantly,
to follow his motto: "Have a
good time all the time!"
On a bit of a zanier note,
comedian Stevie Ray
Fromstein has another motto.

that would make the readers
not want to miss his show, he
replied, "Sex for .., eryone,
although it really is their
decision!"
Growing up in Toronto,
Fromstein got his sense of
humor from his dad. He was a
class clown throughout high
school and majored in
psychology at Queens
University in Kingston,
Ontario. When he graduated, he
decided to do what he wanted
to do (comedy) instead of

pursuing a risk free job. His
psychology background does
come in handy, though. When
pressured with a dilemma, he
thinks "What would a rat do in
a situation like this?"
Fromstein has performed in
comedy clubs, on radio, for
audiences of over 3000 people,
and even on television. He has
performed on "An Evening at
the Improv," "MTV Half Hour
Comedy Hour," and "Late Night
With David Letterman." When
asked about Letterman,
Fromstein said he isn't the jerk
he appears to be, but is really
a nice guy.
But, his best experience in
comedy was when he performed
his famous "Levitation" skit.
He brought a female audience
member onto the stage and
coaxed her into putting her
hand down his pants...she did.
Fromstein's comedy has
influences from Jack Benny,
Steve Martin, and Bob
Newhart. He describes it as
easy going, pleasant and
positive.
Mark Eddie will be
performing on Friday,
September 13 at Bruno's, and
Stevie Ray Fromstein will be
at Bruno's on Saturday,
September 14.
