Eddie From Ohio

AND THE RAIN CRASHED DOWN, EDHEADS...

...and it did on our August 28 show in Herndon, but we're grateful for the 40 minutes we DID get to play for the approximate one thousand Edheads who showed up in force to brave the elements. Thanks to you, and to the fine folks at Fairfax Co. (Sousan & Jeff) and Southard Audio. Here's to clear skies next time.

EFO is gettin' busy in September and the momentum will carry us through the rest of the 2021- all the way to our annual stop at The Birchmere in January over MLK Weekend. In the meantime, mid-September, we're excited to get back to Columbus OH, Ann Arbor MI, and Chicago IL. Just click the right column for show details.

Please make plans now for our rescheduled show at Stages Music Arts in Hunt Valley MD, on Oct 2. See the details on our CALENDAR page.

EDHEAD 30TH ANNIVERSARY CRUISE MOVED TO 2022

Here is a NEW letter that went out to all the Edheads Cruisers from Fan Club Cruises

Hey Edheads,

It’s time to celebrate our 30th(+1) anniversary in grand style. Most of you know that we had planned a 30th anniversary cruise for this August and had to move that to Aug 2022. And if you didn’t know, you do now!

Alumni of prior Edhead cruises know how unique an experience this is; and for our 30th anniversary celebration, we’re making it even more special by going to a true bucket list destination—Alaska! We’ll sail roundtrip out of Vancouver and visit Sitka, Juneau and Ketchikan. We’ll sail through the gorgeous Inside Passage twice and also visit the incredible Hubbard Glacier.

And there’s a special surprise opportunity in Juneau that we’ll announce a few months before the cruise. We promise it’s something you won’t want to miss!

Cabins are still available at $1459pp plus tax. And those rates include the classic beverage package, wifi and pre-paid gratuities. That’s over $700pp in free extras!

We hope you can join us for this once-in-a-lifetime experience! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Donald at Fan Club Cruises. His email is donald@d2demand.com. And most of your questions can also be answered at the Edhead Cruise webpage -

MICHAEL CLEM'S SEPTEMBER - SONGWRITING CLASS & CALIFORNIA TOUR!
& ANOTHER PLUG FOR HIS 2021 EP & HOUSE CONCERTS!

Having written a bunch of tunes over the pandemic slowdown, EFO's Michael Clem has teamed up with friend/producer Rusty Speidel to record five of them for the new EP Rivannarama, released January 12. The feedback thus far has been quite positive with many listeners describing the collection as shots of melancholy with a mirth chaser. Others have felt inspiration through MC's comical tragedies as though watching a birthday party clown fall down a spiral staircase while still landing on his very large feet. It's all the foot-stomping, head-scratching joyous confusion you've come to expect from a Clem release.

Robbie Schaefer's Podcast
I have a new PODCAST. It's called Walk With Me and what happens is I take walks and you . . . well, you walk with me. Virtually. Figuratively. And I talk and play music since I'm good at both those things.

EDDIE FROM OHIO’S 1992 LIVE! AT THE BIRCHMERE CASSETTE RE-RELEASED!

Our first recording was a cassette - looong out of print, but it’s NOW AVAILABLE FOR DIGITAL DOWNLOAD!

On April 14, 1992, EFO took part in the WAMA Crosstown Jam. Our multi-act showcase was at The Birchmere in Arlandria VA (its legendary 2nd location directly on Mt Vernon Ave, blocks from the current locale). The wonderful house sound engineer, Billy Wolf, honored our request to make a board tape of our set. We couldn't believe the results of his beautiful mix, and decided to make a cassette for sale at our shows - a tape we referred to as "The 6 Pack". We moved a whole bunch of units at 5 bucks each, and it marked the beginning of growing our audience around our original music, and not just our covers. It also marked the beginning of an incredible relationship with Billy, who essentially took us under his wing, mentored us, and worked with us in earnest in the studio (producing 8 albums!) as well as other live projects. BOOya, Billy!

This recording has been out of circulation for some time, but a recent discovery of a fairly clean copy inspired us to make it available again. Hear us in all our infant glory (two acoustic guitars & hand percussion -- as well as Robbie on some killer guirro on track 5).

Go back in time to the days of Robbie's fanny pack, Mike's mullet, Eddie's dashiki, & Julie's midi dress w/combat boots. No pictures, just audio. You'll simply have to "imagine us" while you listen.
