Artist description Accessable but not dinner music. Catchy riffs with abstract lyrics. Mostly this one guy who writes, plays and records most everything. Has employed drummers and other musicians to interpret the music from time to time - but most musicians stay away cuz they can't get paid playing this stuff. The music posted here is a small sample of what Ed is about. As you listen you will begin to understand he crosses many barriers and styles. He has written over 100 SONGS so stay tuned, he is posting new ones here weekly. Enjoy and drop Ed a line - he'd love to hear from you.
