Happy 2016, everyone!
I'm excited say "Easy Ed's Variety Hour" is heading into its tenth year. Hard to believe, but calendars don't lie! To celebrate, we're planning a special live event for later this year. We'll have multiple bands on the bill; it's gonna be a real blowout. Details to come soon.
Much sooner--this coming Wednesday, January 13--I’ll be spinning records with my good buddy P.J. Eastman at Brass Union in Somerville. We start at 8:00 PM and roll until closing. Brass Union is cool little nightspot with a fantastic sound system, great food and drink, friendly staff and patrons, table games, dance floor, and more! See you there!
Brass Union (formerly Precinct), 70 Union Square, Somerville, Massachusetts 02143
