Show Your Teeth is a dandy.” JEHC released their 2nd album, ‘A Good One is Hard to Find’ in the summer of 2011. Since its release, JEHC has been invited to share shows with national artists , toured the United States, have had songs played in commercials/TV shows, and were voted “Best Singer/Songwriter” at the 2011 Cincinnati Entertainment Awards .

The windows of the truck are down and the cool comfortable breeze is swirling around my body. I'm heading somewhere but I'm in no hurry to get there nor do I want to leave the beauty of the green leaves or the smell of freshly cut grass. My soul is free. Eagle's voice and music evokes memories of being home. His voice is smooth and expressive, passionately delivered with a little raspiness, and blends wonderfully with the acoustic guitar to form a lasting impression."
