Ed
Keith grew up in South Alabama soaking up Americana,
Roots, Blues, Bluegrass, Country, Rock… You’ll hear it
all in his music. He is, after all, a musical traveler, and
he is as at home with a mandolin or Martin in his hands as
he is with a Tele or Les Paul. His solo shows are a real
clinic in capos, partial capos, altered tunings, and a
really aggressive right hand and a vocal delivery like
he is channeling a very old soul... And Soul it is!
Ed
brings it in a "look you right in the eyes" sort of
delivery. He writes like Prine, full of stories where
you don’t quite know if he’s talking about you or
telling you about himself. He sings like a combination
of Johnny Cash, Bruce Cockburn, and Warren Zevon… Big
voice, big man, Big Love. His approach to the guitar is
like some cocktail of Carl Perkins, John Fahey, Michael
Hedges, and Jimmy Rodgers. Powerful voice, powerful
lyrics, powerful guitar.
  
Ed

Medica, Dan Dugmore, Fayssoux McLean, Will McFarlane,

on as the journey continues. Electric, Acoustic, Guitar,
Mandolin, Dobro, Bass, Lap Steel, Banjo, and always a
Big Smile…
