Eager
Eager was a band initially created by Patrick Andrew of the band PFR. In 1995, the members of PFR made the decision to break up the band, and to keep the decision unannounced until later in 1996 after the release of their next album (titled "Them"). Patrick began forming the new band with Greg Pope in 1995. Greg (also a songwriter) had been touring with PFR as a backup guitarist. To dispell rumors of a PFR-breakup, Patrick explained the new band to the public as just "a side project". The two songwriters recruited drummer Paul Eckberg in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and the three moved to Nashville in the Fall of 1996. They quickly enlisted Mark Kloos from Raleigh, North Carolina, who was Greg's former bandmate in Apple Green and The Greg Pope Band.
