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 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 group has drawn descriptions like "the Grateful Dead meets Peter, Paul & Mary," or "Jewel fronts the Bare Naked Ladies," the truth is that EFO is an original, fusing a multitude of musical influences to create their trademark sound.
Even more remarkably, EFO has achieved its success while operating as a grass-roots music indie, 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 nine albums -- including the recently released This is Me.
