Ed has been living in the Niagara area since the early 2000s, and is currently residing in St Catharines. Recently retired from his day job, he is now dedicated to his first passion which is, and has always pretty much been, music. Ed is a songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist who performs at various local venues as a solo artist, and as one half of the acoustic/electric duo “Strings Attached” with local guitarist/mandolin player Wayne Hosick. Ed is also lead guitarist and singer in the Classic Rock band "The Ususal Suspects" along with vocalist Jennifer Lynn, bass player Ernie Jodoin, drummer/percussionist Bob Hewer and the aforementioned Mr. Wayne Hosick.

 

​Ed has previously released a CD of original music titled “Icarus Has Fallen”, an album of eclectic (and somewhat electric) retro 70's style rock - but with some interesting contemporary twists. The album is available to hear and download via searching on You Tube

​

​He is currently writing songs for his second CD, and has also entered a song in the Niagara Music Awards titled “Take me Dancing”, which - God willing - will eventually appear on the second CD once it is properly recorded and produced. While his previous original material showcased more hard-edged songwriting, his current original material shows a mellower and more personal writing style.

​

Ed is available as a solo performer, or in conjunction with other musicians to suit whatever style is appropriate to your venue.​
