   About Ed Englerth


Ed Englerth’s ‘Restless Ghost’ rocks its way through 13 intelligent-folk-jazz-blues tunes. Ed’s band is in top form on this recording and Ed’s friend, Ray White (Frank Zappa Band & Zappa Plays Zappa), drops by to lend a hand too.

How does Englerth keep that continuity of sound while at the same time covering such a multiplicity of styles? Maybe it’s that rhythmic groove that runs through his songs. Whatever Ed’s magic touch is, one doesn’t have to understand how Ed does it to enjoy this great CD. . . . (and if you do understand how, all the better.)

Ed Englerth is a legend in this business. He has played music with; Ray White (Frank Zappa & Zappa Plays Zappa), Kenny Meeks (Sixpence None The Richer), Joe English (Paul McCartney & Wings), Robin Robbins (Bob Seger), John Lawry (Petra), Jan Krist, Ben Brown, Jim Cole, Aracely, Jim Earp, Scott Roley, Dave Perkins, Donny Hartman (Frost), Xalt, Armada, Linear Action Band, Aslan, Harvey Jet (Black Oak Arkansas) , and Earthen Vessel.

They said what about Ed?

“Where jazz, folk, blues and rock experimentation meet,. . .Englerth teams up with former Frank Zappa sideman Ray White for a slice of wry worldweariness possessed of inventive arrangements and sneaky hooks. . . . Good thing, that, by the way.” HM The Hard Music Magazine - Jamie Lee Rake

"Englerth’s masterful guitar playing, direct and unpretentious vocals, and thoughtful lyrics are increasingly impressive upon repeated listenings." S.T. Karnick – National Review Online.

ABC News (http://abcnews.com.com/2001-8974_32-0.html) at the time (4/26/2006) of this writing Ed Englerth’s song is 10 on their “Popular” chart and 6 on “Audience Picks” in the Folk-Jazz Category.

Ray White (Frank Zappa Band & Zappa Plays Zappa) – USA: “I like it!”

"Is it possible to call him [Ed Englerth] a genius? I think so..." Rafael Carnovale - Brasil - Rio De Janeiro - Progressive Rock & Progressive Metal

“top quality” - Wonderful World of Music, Belgium.

"masterful guitar playing" - All Music Guide (AMG)

“Ed is a consummate musician” Cross Rhythms (United Kingdom)

“The lyrics contain relevant thoughts of social justice...Mr. Englerth has quite a knack for creating thought-provoking tunes..." White Throne – California

“the driving motor behind this great rock and roll..." Switzerland - Cross Metal

"Wow! . . . one of the underground's best-kept secrets. This guy needs to be put on a label!!" Chris Yambar - The Activist - Youngstown, Ohio.

“fans will be delighted!” Jan Krist singer/songwriter

“deserves much more press than I can give him.” Brian A. Smith - Phantom Tollbooth

“A work that transcends age, for the connoisseur” Rocka Rolla – Argentina

“the real deal” Justin Wright - Phantom Tollbooth

Ed Englerth - SHAKE, RATTLE, and FOLK, and JAZZ and BLUES and More . . . SHAKE . . . Disturbing the warp and woof, shattering the serene, unnerving the unresponsive, rhythms that make you sweat. RATTLE . . . What awakens one from dreams, from that place of comfortable complacency? From the distillation of life in this world come the images from Ed. FOLK . . . Music that verbalizes attitudes and dimensions. Acoustic, it carries the energy from the power of the song rather than the power of the amplifier. JAZZ . . . Freedom to express from the long linage of the soul. BLUES. . . . Refuses to ignore hardship in this life and our response to it.. MORE…. Never ending. As a pioneer in the Folk and Rock scene Ed played in 70s bands Aslan and Earthen Vessel. Today, Ed’s style is a mix of rock, folk, blues, jazz and experimental music. With intelligent song crafting he covers issues of skepticism, faith, social justice, love lost & love found, and the everyday struggles of life.

Ed has several recorded projects. The latest is “Restless Ghost.” Other CDs include, “D.I.A.L. Business", "The Ed Englerth Jazz Quartet", "Anything But Hope", "Live at the State Grounds Coffeehouse", "Little Bit Of Me Everywhere," "Rational?," and "PINGO”. He is also the founding member and songwriter for the band LAB (Linear Action Band). LAB’s recordings are currently out of print, but BlueSideDownStudios Recordings hopes to be able to re-release LAB material in the future.

Hey there,

Here's one from left field...

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?

A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:

Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella

Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.

Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.

I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4

Help to raise awareness.

Say have you checked out my web site recently?

Take care and keep in touch.

Best,
Faber.
