Background
Eddie Kam, hailing from Larchmont, NY, ignited his passion for music at a youthful child like age. However, the pandemic cast a shadow over live music in his hometown and America. Undeterred, upon his high school graduation in 2020, Eddie, alongside his close compatriots Evan Maculuso and Grant Tucker, took the bold step of forming a band named "Summer Fling." Initially constrained by their collegiate pursuits, the band could only convene during summer breaks, hence the name.However, their trajectory underwent a remarkable shift in late 2022 when a revamped lineup emerged, comprising members all rooted in NYC and immersed in diverse studies at renowned Jazz Conservatories. This pivotal change propelled "Summer Fling" into a whirlwind of performances, totaling over 45 gigs at esteemed venues like The Bitter End, Bowery Electric, and Arlene's Grocery, among others. Bolstered by new recruits Dani Johnson, and James “Jimbo” Worsey, the band clinched victory at the PMF Battle of the Bands. Subsequently, they graced the Main Stages of the Pleasantville Music Festival and the Toonerville Music Festival, sharing billing with illustrious acts such as They Might Be Giants and The Spin Doctors.This septet of freshly minted college graduates has seamlessly transitioned from jazz standards to an electrifying blend of funk, soul, and indie pop. Their mission? To captivate audiences with an immersive, inclusive, and joyous musical experience. In September '23, they captured their original compositions in studio recordings, eagerly anticipating the release of their debut album in the Summer of '24, poised to spread the infectious energy of "Summer Fling" worldwide.
