TREY ANASTASIO
Big, expressive and earthy, Ed Jurdis soulful voice propels itself into a room like a Mardi Gras Parade. With the 11 tracks on Longshores Drive, Jurdi has created his own distinctive sound, a high accomplishment indeed.
MINOR 7TH
Longshores Drive is really impressive, particularly Jurdis ability to weave disparate elements from gospel choirs to harmonica and banjo licks to good old swampy blues.
PORTLAND PHOENIX (Sam Pfeifle)
An eloquent young artist, his knowledge of roots history and command of the music are solid.
NEW HAMPSHIRE PUBLIC RADIO (Shay Zellar)
Ed Jurdi can pen a song! And sing one too. Longshores Drive is roots music at its best. Blues, Folk, and Rock make for great listening.
ROOTS MUSIC REPORT (Wimberley TX)
Longshores Drive at once, possesses the diversity and power of Lyle Lovetts "Joshua Judges Ruth, the simplicity of The Bands "Brown Album" and the wisdom of Gram Parsons "Grievous Angel." Jurdi masterfully meshes musical styles and tastes to create his own unique sound.
FOSTERS DAILY DEMOCRAT (Martin England)
It is a rare occasion when Liz will actually sit there, mouth open, staring at the persons hands while theyre playing the guitar Like a kid in a candy store.
93.1 FM WMGX PORLAND, ME (Tim and Liz Show)
Great tunes, soulful stuff, dig it.
90.1 FM WMPG PORTLAND, ME (Chris Darling)
