Details:
A passionate songwriter from Michigan, Edward - as one fan put it, "writes songs about cats and gardening and leaving home." That, of course, would leave behind the songs he has written about bar fights, John Lennon, and trees.

For more than fifteen years Edward has been writing acoustic based songs that span and combine many types of music and ideas, all with the threads of observation, experience, and imagination running through them. If a story is involved, it is cleanly articulated by a songwriter who knows and enjoys his craft.

Audiences often leave Edward's performances feeling that they have connected with this natural songwriter and with each other. Maybe they've even heard some truth.

"There was always music around the house," says Edward who, at age ten, started playing his father's electric guitar as it lay on the kitchen table. "I really grew up as a drummer and began my university education as a music major playing drums. My father always wanted me to play the guitar. Latter on after I left the music department, I started writing songs with an old beat-up out of tune acoustic guitar he gave me. I never stopped. So, I guess he got his wish."

Jolly Road is Edward's debut public release of music. He was joined by those wildly talented and crazy guys in Steppin' In It (Check out their CDs on CD Baby). It continues his endevor to write "songs about cats, and gardening, and leaving home."

Edward lives in a small town in Michigan with Heidi and a house full of cats.
