Pascal’s Wager encompasses influences and genres spanning decades of American roots music. The three members of this project serve up a wealth of talent and will hook listeners with their interpretations of a diverse selection of folk, blues, and rock standards.

Members pictured left to right:  Larry Rose (bass guitar) 

Larry’s playing is nuanced yet complex. He is integral to the Columbus, GA live music scene and performs everything from Bossa Nova to country and Americana.  He plays all with equal precision, energy and enthusiasm!

Mike McArdle (drums) Mike began his drumming journey at 12 years old. Major influences include his Father and two Uncles (all drummers) as well as Charlie Watts, Tre Cool and Animal. Mike has been an active local musician the past five years working with such acts as the Headhunters and Sky High. His current projects include Whiskey Moon, Off Ramp and Pascal’s Wager. Mike is honored to be part of this Pure Life House of Music event. 

Eddie Pascal (guitar/vocals). Eddie has been around. We see him sometimes at the Piggly Wiggly cruising the beer aisle. A connoisseur of boiled peanuts and fine Caribbean rums, his music transcends and defies categorization. Current projects include Pascal’s Wager, Sally Brown Band, and Raising Sand.
