BIOGRAPHY
Ed McDade
Singer/Songwriter

Singer and songwriter ED Mc DADE was born in Philadelphia to a music-loving
Family. Dad played harmonica, Mom sang and one brother was a professional musician. He began playing acoustic music in high school(during the folk revival), and worked frequently at
local clubs in the Philadelphia area. Later, Ed played electric bass,
joining many notable bands such as Axis, who opened for the late Jim
Morrison. He also played bass for Len Barry of Bristol Stomp fame, Millie Mc Clain, Chicago Blues & Soul luminary and did
session work with Barry Goldberg of the Electric Flag.
At University during the late 1960's, Ed was an English/social studies major and political activist.
By 1974, he had returned to the acoustic guitar, which he found more
suited to his voice and musical style. That's when Ed "moved to the country" and began writing his own songs.

Ed has taken his music across the USA and around the world. Performing
in Canada, Jamaica, Germany, Austria, France, Spain, Italy and the former
republics of Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia. He has also done extensive studio
work in the San Francisco Bay Area, Philadelphia and New York City.

songs mixed with country blues picking in the style of Mississippi John Hurt and
Doc Watson. His ease in live performances, developed in a wide variety of music
venues, enables him to reach audiences of all types. He has appeared on radio
and television, both in the USA & Europe and performs regularly at Community/Art festivals, Universities, folk clubs, rallies, fairs, Theatres, etc.

Winter Consort and *Radio Songs* in 1995. Two of the compositions on radio songs were recorded in Vienna, Austria with the great Euro band Nugget).
