The April 15 Show + The Easy Ed's Variety Hour Ten Year Anniversary Party (May 7 in Boston)

Hi, Folks.

If you missed our April 15 broadcast--which I guess we can nickname "The Loco Show" since I unintentionally played three records with "loco" in the title--just click here to get to the archive on the podbean site. You can also find show files on my web site and on iTunes.  See the end of this post for the list of songs we played.

Unfortunately I could not make it to the Viva Las Vegas festival this year, but it was cool to see Tom Ingram's promo video containing some fun footage from the 2015 event. Keep your eyes open for a quick shot of me spinning records at the pool party (about a minute in).


Advance tickets for the  Easy Ed’s Variety Hour tenth anniversary party on May 7 at the Midway in Boston (Jamaica Plain) are selling quickly. Don't miss out! Get yours here. Check out this killer-diller-no-filler line up!


Johnny Carlevale and His Band of All Stars (Special Reunion Show)!

Special guest Roy Sludge

With DJ sets throughout the event--Easy Ed's Record Hop sharing the decks with Kogar the Swinging Ape!

As always, thanks for your interest in the show. We couldn't do it without you!

Easy Ed
