Eddie from Ohio's unique blend of vocals and acoustic instrumentation is marked by high energy and a contagious spirit of fun. The Virginia-based foursome's refreshing and often endearingly quirky folk rock songs, delivered with the glowing soprano of Julie Murphy Wells, overflow with good humor. Anchored by Eddie Hartness' creative percussion and the textural interplay of Robbie Schaefer's acoustic guitar and Michael Clem's bass, the sublimely tight vocal harmonies soar and enlighten. While this combination has drawn descriptions like "the Grateful Dead meets Peter, Paul & Mary," or "Jewel fronts the Bare Naked Ladies," EFO fuses a multitude of musical influences to create their own trademark sound. EFO has achieved it high level of success while operating as agrass-roots music business independent, performing at clubs and festivals throughout the country, garnering worldwide radio air play, cultivating tens of thousands of loyal fans known as "edheads," and producing and distributing seven successful CDs on their Virginia Soul label -- including the recently released Quick.
