Hailing from the Motor City, Ed grew up in the 1970s glued to Detroit’s legendary AM radio giant CKLW – in the car, on his transistor radio, anywhere he could get a signal. Folk, Motown, Blues, and Rock were all fair game, but he especially loved Chuck Berry, The Beatles, Eagles, and Elton John. As he got older, Ed fell hard for the heavier side of the blues with players like Frank Marino, Leslie West, and Alvin Lee. Singing along to classic albums by Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple/Rainbow, and Pink Floyd left an unmistakable mark on his vocal style and his lifelong passion for singing.

In 2025, Storm Damage is thrilled to welcome Ed to the lineup – ready to bang out some killer music, have a great time, and rock every crowd we meet!
