Ed is a former actor who played caracter roles in Canadian television series such as “Night Heat” and “Adderly” in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s.
Those were the boom years for the film industry in Canada. That was when he decided to try his luck in California,
Unfortunately, he arrived in Hollywood just in time to meet the economic downturn in the industry. It is a rule in showbiz that “timing” is a big factor with success in the industry.
But Ed has other talents besides acting. He is also an accomplished singer/songwriter.
His chosen musical genere has long been traditional country and the other evening, he treated an appreciatie audience of hostel guests to an impromptu concert of his own compositions. Pretty neat stuff too!
However, his own reseach (in Nashille, among other places) indicated a declining market for traditional country songs.
Ed has switched gears. His latest compositions are traditional jazz numbers which he has found is growing in popularity.
He’s proving to be the sort of man who can wheather the ups and downs of the mercurial Entertainment Industry. To deal with the ever changing demands of the industry. He simply redefines himself.
We wish him luck in his present incarnaton as a jazz singer/songwriter.
