Group Members Once in a while, something special happens in local music. While John Celia (bass) and Mike Eudy (drums) lay down concrete rhythms, Jeff Sandler (guitar/vocals) and John McConnell (guitar/vocals) do battle as they trade leads and rhythms. Ed Daza (lead vocals) gives the music a focal point with his powerful vocal range that crafts a fine edge on the sword that is Echo Mutt. Each member's respective instrument is clearly an extension of their very soul, and together they create a powerful new musical language.
