Biography

Ed Saultz, singer, guitar, and bodhrán player, performs the traditional music of Ireland in pubs, festivals, social clubs, private parties, and adult care facilities. His repertoire includes the pub favorites, social ballads, love songs, and political ballads, as well as guitar or bodhrán accompaniment to the dance tunes of Ireland. Inspired by the Folk music revival of the nineteen sixties Ed started playing the guitar at age eleven. His musical interests quickly turned to the music of Appalachia. Through the early and mid nineteen seventies he performed with the Swallow Hill String Band, a four piece bluegrass ensemble. He then took a nearly thirty year hiatus from the music. Whilst traveling in Ireland in 2002 Ed was inspired to take up the bodhrán, the Irish frame drum, by a young lad he saw playing this intriguing instrument with other young musicians at a regional Fleadh Cheoil in Athea, County Limerick. He then ventured into sessions in the New York City area to develop his bodhrán playing and this led him back to the guitar. He was the lead singer and rhythm accompanist with the traditional Irish music ensemble Liscune. He now plays out as a solo performer as well as with Linda Hickman, flute and whistle player, as a duo. Ed is also involved with the Jersey City Historical Project and was responsible for the sound track design and recording for the Historical Project's recently released "Parade of the Shantytown Dead" video. He has been engaged to design and record the sound track for the Project's next video currently filming.
