ED BLUNT is a multi-instrumentalist storyteller whose songs will make you laugh and gently break your heart.

Blending folk, jazz and roots with Randy Newman-esque humour, he describes his music as “finding the little nuggets of magic in everyday life,”.

Born in the Surrey Hills, Ed grew up surrounded by the sounds of Paul Simon, James Taylor, and Van Morrison. His talent for playing by ear led him to study jazz piano at the Guildhall School, but on graduation he was left with crippling stage fright. 

Stumbling on an online songwriting camp during the Covid lockdown proved to be a turning point. Mentor Chris Difford discovered his talent for the first time, calling him a "quiet genius.”

Since then, Ed has released two albums and collaborated with artists including Tom Odell, Beth Nielsen Chapman and Jamie Lawson.

His endearing stage presence and candid storytelling have earned him a devoted following, leaving a mark on the hearts of his listeners.

Ed’s show at Green Note on March 13th is part of his “Manifestations” UK tour celebrating the power of songwriting in unlocking creativity and overcoming fear.
