Eddie Breckenridge (born Edward Carrington Breckenridge on November 15, 1979) is the bass guitarist of the band Thrice.[1] Breckenridge joined Thrice having virtually no experience playing the bass (he was a skating buddy of soon to be singer/guitarist Dustin and lead guitarist Teppei). He soon convinced his brother Riley to join as the band's drummer. Breckenridge has an elbow problem that prevents him from turning over his left hand fully (making fingering the fret board more difficult than usual). Breckenridge joined Angels & Airwaves in July 2014, His current status with the band is unknown.
