Feedback
- 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
