Following the lead of the matthew show front man Matthew Broyles and violinist Beth Brown, I am now performing solo, acoustic shows in the online world of Second Life as ED FOO. If you're already on SL, please look me up. My SL schedule will be posted here until I can get edfoomusic.com up and running.

If you're not familiar with Second Life, drop me a line and I'll send you info on how you can attend these virtual concerts.

The trip to Memphis with the matthew show was amazing! The week was highlighted by an incredible session at the legendary Sun Studio where the band recorded "The Lesbian Song" by the late Jason "Shithead" Jackson. The single will be be available for download very soon. The band also laid down some tracks at Ardent Studios and is working on mixing those for a future release.

The Blue Sky Bandits are getting things rolling again with the release of lead singer Christa Russell's new solo CD "Not That Lonely," and the addition of a new rhythm section to the band. Clay Anderson and Jeffrey Simms (of the matthew show) have begun rehearsals with Ed and Christa and will be hitting the stage with BSB very soon.

The matthew show is heading to Memphis, TN for the International Folk Alliance conference, an annual event that draws together music industry professionals from throughout the world to share ideas, network, and celebrate music. The band will be showcased on Thursday, February 23rd. While in Memphis the band is schedule to record a song at the legendary Sun Studio, the birthplace of rock and roll!

In other news, Ed has recently begun playing lead guitar with Jody Jones. Jody is a prolific songwriter and total badass whose voice will blow you away. Watch the calendar for upcoming shows.

Ed is now the lead guitarist for the matthew show! The band is the brainchild of Matthew Broyles, an amazing singer/songwriter who has garnered much acclaim in both the real world, and in the online world of Second Life. Described as pop from the nerd lunchbox, Matthew's rich, warm vocals, wry sense of humour and offbeat lyric choices make the matthew show an act that both lulls the ear and amuses the mind.
