• Execellent -- Brian B, Westport, CT, 10/17/2010
• Ed Wright is a master guitarist and a brilliant entertainer. His repertoire is extensive, and he plays with dazzling virtuosity. He was also charming with the guests, and played any requests. He received many compliments. Very highly recommended. -- Tom B, Greenwich, CT, 9/18/2010
• Ed is fantastic. He had an earlier performance and still agreed to come play for our event. Even after 5 hours of playing yesterday, he still sounded fresh. He is easy-going, inobtrusive and his music is absolutely beautiful. I'd recommend him to anyone looking for an acoustic guitar player for their event. -- Julia P, Rowayton, CT, 10/11/2009
• Ed was top notch. Clients loved him! -- Andrew H, Newport, RI, 8/26/2009
