A multi-instrumentalist and singer, Ed brings a tight and melodic mandolin style to the band. As a kid, when he first discovered his love of traditional and folk music, he asked his parents for a set of bagpipes. They visited a folk instrument shop in Maine but dreading a 10-hour car ride back home filled with horrific back seat noises, they instead bought him a mandolin. He is an accredited song writer with many albums under his belt. In the past he has fronted well known rock band, Mardou, and also played bass with Philadelphia live hip hop legends Rowdee Black Giants.
