11/07/10 • Eddie From Ohio w/ Jake Armerding • 08:00 PM

Too energetic to be labeled just "folk", and not angry enough to be pegged "alternative", Eddie from Ohio continues to defy description with their unique blend of vocals and acoustic instrumentation. A bedrock foundation of hand and stick percussion and a textural flavoring of guitar/bass/harmonica support the four-part harmonies and lyrically-driven original music. While this combination has drawn comparisons like the Grateful Dead meets Peter, Paul&Mary, or like Jewel fronts the Bare Naked Ladies, EFO fuses a multitude of musical influences to create their own trademark sound. Performing Songwriter writes, "The manic strumminess recalls Ani DiFranco or Dave Matthews, but there's also a deep undercurrent of high, lonesome mountain harmony that should appeal to fans of Alison Krauss and Union Station."


Jake Armerding grew up playing classical violin and listening to 80's pop radio.  He developed these influences into a roots/neo-folk style he calls "organic music," which he composes and performs across the country with the assistance of insanely talented friends.  He has released five albums of original material, along with a new EP, Cellar Sessions, with his instrumental side project, The Fretful Porcupine.  Armerding recently logged his thousandth performance, and has shared the stage with Bela Fleck, Nickel Creek, Josh Ritter, David Wilcox and Toad the Wet Sprocket.
