The members of Eastwood have been playing together for several years in other iterations, but finally came together last year as Eastwood, which afforded them the opportunity to simply write songs and see what happens. Since mid-2005, they completed their first CD, Die Tryin', and continued to steadily play gigs in support of the album.
The band members are serious about Eastwood, but deep down they are just five guys who really love to play music together and have fun.
