“Cosmic Country-folk with a Tribal Twist of Jazz”
Eddie Danger started his career in music as an alto sax player in the 5th grade. In the 9th grade he was kicked out of the Jazz band and stopped playing music for about 4 years. At age 18 an enlightening experience in the parking lot at a Grateful Dead concert reintroduced Ed’s Love of music and he started frequenting drum circles. Now he plays the upside-down guitar, bass, ukulele, and banjo. He also plays the didgeridoo, piano & keys, pump organ, saxophone, flute, and a plethora of percussion instruments he has collected in his world travels.

Eddie Danger is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, band leader, playwright, festival & parade organizer, story teller, sound & lighting tech, stage manager, master of ceremonies, wedding man, actor, blogger, educator, puppeteer & all around creative being.

Danger has bicycled from Canada to Mexico, worked on organic farms. He has been a sea kayak instructor, a school bus driver, a raft guide, and recently co-starred in a film about jug band music with Garrison Keillor from A Prairie Home Companion. He has released 11 albums and is an advisor for multiple music festivals including Boats and Bluegrass (where he also performs and is master of ceremonies), Great River Folk Festival, and the worlds largest renewable Energy Fair.
