Ed's profile
Ed Schrader is an artist in Baltimore Maryland who has worked across a range of platforms since first having moved to Baltimore in 2006 as a founding member of the Wham City Arts Collective.
As a musician Ed has toured the world multiple times receiving critical acclaim for his "live" show and his albums. He has been featured in Spin, The Washington Post, Pitchfork, the Village Voice, Wire magazine, and has received Baltimore’s Best Band award from The Baltimore City Paper for 2014, as well as hitting number 26 on The Washington Post’s Top 50 singles of 2014 with the single “Radio Eyes”. In 2012 his album Jazz Mind garnered similar praise, with Sterogum listing Ed Schrader’s Music Beat as one of the top 40 Best New Bands of 2012 , and Baltimore City Paper awarded 2012’s Jazz Mind top 10 album status. When Ed Schrader isn’t navigating the globe, kicking out his brand of minimalist punk baritone goodness with Ed Schrader’s Music Beat, he mans the helm of his own pop-up restaurant Pasta the Gathering and works on his forthcoming cartoon “A Family Affair”. In addition he also has a DIY t-shirt company, Cats On The lake which just received high praise from The Baltimore City paper, who called the designs “high-concept art pieces, and exercises in heady, hilarious world-building and purposefully poor design “!
Ed has also made a quite substantial foothold in the world of DIY comedy with Baltimore's only late night talk show, The Ed Schrader show, started in 2006. Having interviewed everyone from Ralph Nader to Michael Showalter and scores of Baltimore musicians, artists, business owners, politicians, and activists Ed has congealed a brand of sorts giving a mouthpiece to Baltimore's counterculture. All of this has been accomplished on a shoe string budget with occasional sponsors and lots of generosity from friends who donate their time and talent to help make the show the success it has become, selling out its last three performances. It is time however to take this Baltimore made gem to the next level where it can truly reach its full potential. Imagine what a difference a budget could make, let's put Baltimore on the main stage!
