"Evangelism: All
Christian.."Country Rock / Country / Classic Rock / Southern Rock / Blues / Oldies and anything else we can
use to spread the Gospel! MISSION STATEMENT: " To preach the Gospel to every creature using words if necessary!" 1Cor 9:19-19. For though I be
free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might
gain the more. The ministry, Freedom 1, is composed of married duet, Eddie and Mary Day. What STYLE music do they do? What do you need? They love variety, just like God does! Eddie & Mary change their presentation according to where they are and what is needed to get the message across to the people. "We love all styles of music", Eddie says, Country to Rock & Roll and all points in between!" At a young age Eddie was playing lead guitar in bands opening shows for stars like, Hank Williams Jr., Marty Stuart, Leroy Vandyke, The Capitols, Ronnie McDowell, Johnny Paycheck, Jeanie Pruitt, Johnny Rodriguez, Freddie Hart and many others. They recorded their own single in Nashville and traveled across the U.S. promoting their release on radio & the club circuit. Eddie says they were a Country Rock band, but they had the talent & versatility to play 'different styles' of music to broaden their work area in the night club circuit. As the band separated several years later...Eddie pursued his songwriting career and was invited and performed many times at "The Bluebird Cafe" in Nashville where talent scouts and record producers have discovered many new up and coming stars. He pursued his dream for many years spending thousands of dollars on demo's and trips to Music City. After many years of hurts, failed relationships and frustration, the drugs, alcohol and wild lifestyle caught up with him. Eddie began looking for a way out of the pit he had dug himself into. Eddie knows God knew how much trouble he was in & sent an angel
one night to help him. One night in that little church, Eddie says the Lord spoke to him and asked for not only his heart, but for the thing he loved even more than his family...his music and dreams of stardom! Out of desperation Eddie gave in that night and God begin to remold his life, reshape his talents and his marriage. Though the words changed in the songs, the influence of the driving Country/Rock & Blues style music is evident today in Eddie's songs. Eddie shares his experiences & testimony through songs he has written.. Eddie & Mary have recorded 16 cd's of original songs & now own and operate their own recording studio, "Freedom Recording" just a few miles out of Princeton WV. Eddies song 'Gods Country' crossed over to the secular country charts climbing to #75 on Cashbox & #10 on the Inde Bullet charts. Eddie & Mary have also been heard all over the U.S. and Europe with a cut off of their CD 'Solid as a Rock.' "God don't need nobody to hold His hand" went to #40 over sea's & #42 here in the U.S. They began receiving air mail and e-mail from places as far away as Australia and the Netherlands. Many artists including The Cook Brothers, Cheryl Lynn, Steve Warren, and many more have recorded Eddie's songs. Debbie White took Eddie's song 'Practice what you Preach' to #1 on CCRB and many other Gospel Charts.

Eddie
& Mary Day blessed our church greatly in Word/Music Ministry.
They have the ability to minister to all people young and old alike.
God has placed His anointing upon them to take their personal
testimony and wrap it in a song with the right medley. This is
what makes their ministry so unique. Every song and testimony
comes from the heart. When you hear their words it
reminds you that God is able to do the same for you.
Our congregation was uplifted and blessed by this ministry. I am
sure that you will be too.

They are truly humble servants, prompt with
their setup and they deliver a wonderful array of music reaching all age
groups. Additionally, they interact well with the audience and minister
between songs with encouraging thoughts and Bible versus. I highly
recommend you consider Eddie and Mary Day for your next music/ministry
event.” I had 1 year and 6mths with them before I lost my daddy. He died August 9 2003. I thought my world was crumbling. My mom's health wasn't great and after daddy's death she started going down. Well 9 mths later May 20th of 2004 I found my mom dead in her bedroom. (My world did crumble then) I was really having a horrible time. When Mary and Eddie found this out a week later they made a special trip to Lugoff SC to come and give my family a concert in my mother's memory. I cannot tell you how much they helped me, and how much it meant to me that they would do something so thoughtful for me. They are two of the most God loving, caring, people I know. I had only met
them in person once before (my husband Joe knew them prior) and they
came specially to do this for me. You have made an awesome choice in
Mary & Eddie. Through their music alone so many people will be
reached for the kingdom of God. Thank you so much for giving them this
opportunity to spread the Gospel throughout the world. REFERENCES:
