EDDIE FROM OHIO MAY 2020 EMAILER

Greetings Edheads Everywhere

We hope everyone is safe and healthy during these challenging times. There is not a tremendous amount of new information to share from the EFO front. Until we hear otherwise, all shows/engagements we have from late August onward are still on schedule.... and yes, in 2021, we still plan to turn 30-years-old, and will celebrate not only with a big Birchmere weekend, but by August 2021, we will have our 7th Edhead Cruise: 30th Anniv Edition to Alaska. All other Eddie from Ohio shows are listed in the right hand column.

REST IN PEACE, GENE SHAY. On April 17, the folk music world lost an icon - Philadelphia legend, Gene Shay. Not only a staple on folk radio, Gene also founded the Philadelphia Folk Festival, one of the oldest in the country. Gene was an early supporter of ours when we struggled to make a name for ourselves outside of our hometown market. The Gene Shay Bump carried a lot of weight, and in his funny shameless way he would say when introducing us on stage, "Yeah, I discovered these guys." Thanks for discovering us, Gene, and also for helping countless others to be heard and seen on the Gene Scene. You left this world in a better way than how you found (discovered) it. Gene died at age 85 from coronavirus.

For the fifth time since the quarantine lockdown (coupled with many show cancellations), Clem will be hosting a Facebook Live performance from his home on Saturday, May 9 at 8pm.
