Edward David Anderson

“Accomplished songwriting and sublime presentation.” -No Depression

Music, by its nature, is a migratory creature. It moves as it moves, often powerfully, through people and places, communities and cultures, created and carried on currents of electricity and air. Edward David Anderson is one of its modern makers, a rock & roll veteran and multi-instrumentalist on an existential quest seeking and searching through song. His musings on love and loss, struggle and hope are a soundtrack for fellow travelers and were described as “raw and emotionally sophisticated” by the Chicago Sun Times. EDA has been featured on NPR's World Cafe, Nashville’s Music City Roots, has twice appeared on the nationally syndicated radio program Mountain Stage, and even recorded an episode of the PBS television series Sun Studio Sessions in the iconic birthplace of rock & roll. He has toured with and opened for folks like Leon Russell, ZZ Top, Leo Kottke, Los Lobos, & Govt Mule and can be found performing live as a solo artist or with his bands Backyard Tire Fire, Black Dirt Revival and Alabama Getaway.
