Bio
Presently Eddy performs on Oboe, Oboe d'Amore, English Horn, Saxophones (Soprano, Alto and Tenor), Clarinet, Mizmah (Lebanese Oboe), Shennai (Indian Oboe), Sona (Chinese Oboe), Recorders, Kalimba, Invented instruments: Twanger, Guitar Twanger (bowable 12 string), Angel Harp, Snake Horn, Elephant Horn, Electric Bass, Vocals and Percussion. Eddy is a graduate of California Institute Of The Arts did post graduate work at Boston University and San Francisco State. His life was forever changed after the 2 years at Cal Arts. Steve Allen the MC of his graduation said, "Welcome to the unemployed". It's been an amazing road every since. Before Eddy went to Cal Arts he hitch hiked across Canada, hopped a freight train and hitch hiked back across the US back packing his oboe. He played the oboe, improvisation and Bach Aria excerpts at every chance he could get. When Eddy stayed at the commune "The Brothehood Of The Spirit" (Warwick Mass.) he had a dream that "Playing the oboe creates rainbows". Eddy played with "The Future Primitive Art Ensemble" Butch Morris Orchestra, John Zorn's "Cobra", etc., of course classical (chamber music, orchestras, soloist and his own funk band "The Inspirational Ensemble" to name a few. He's also toured in Europe, South East Asia and the continental United States. In 1996 Eddy joined Screen Actors Guild and has been also performing as an actor in Film and TV see www.EdwardRollin.com. Eddy is also a photographer (www.EdwardRollinPhotography.com), recently published in a Simon and Schuster book called "Holy Headshots", 2008. He is also a writer. He wrote his first screenplay based on his hitch hiking experience, "Summer Of '70" or "Hippie From Brooklyn". I'd like to make it into a film if anyone has the interest in helping me.
