& Hawksbill Crossing
With over forty years of experience playing the guitar, Ed Hull has earned his place in the music industry, most recently breaking onto the scene as one of the most important and innovative singer/songwriters of our era. In the past few years alone, he has written over eighty original songs, fully produced in albums like “Another Choice” (released December 2010) and “Hawksbill Crossing” (released November, 2011). In December, 2011 Ed recorded nine new songs in Nashville utilizing a local recording studio and musicians.

It began with a threat. When Ed was only twelve, his older brother insisted to his parents that he’d “kill himself” if he was forced to take one more music lesson. The guitar was passed down to the younger sibling, and one brother’s willing loss was another brother’s grateful gain. Ed’s lifelong passion was born, but it wouldn’t launch into a full-blown musical career for some number of years.
While Ed took a few lessons as a teenager and played intermittently throughout college and after, he mostly just honed his skill by ear. He was voraciously composed chord progressions and melodies over the years, but he never actual penned a lyric until 2009.
