"Fast
Eddie" Erickson began his banjo/guitar career
in the San Jose, California area in the mid '60s,
and moved to Monterey, California in 1969 to work
at Capone's Warehouse on Canary Row. From there Ed
went to DisneyWorld and Disneyland, where he was
featured in the "Class of '27" show at
the Diamond and Golden Horseshoes, and starred in
the Banjo Kings as well. He has been a featured performer
at banjo shows, conventions, private parties, jazz
concerts, and has appeared with such noted jazz performers
as Jackie Coon, Rick Fay, Dan Barrett, Dave Frishberg,
Johnny Varro, and others. From 1978 to 1983, Eddie
led the "Riverboat Rascals" show band on
board Disney's Empress Lilly Showboat. In recent
years, Eddie has been featured with Big
Mama Sue at festivals, fairs, and even
the "Sancy Snow" Jazz Festival in France.
Eddie has joined forces with Rebecca Kilgore and
Dan Barrett to form "BED".. This
fabulous jazz group is on the rise in popularity
and is fast becoming a staple at jazz festivals through
out the country. Fast Eddie is a respected and loved
member of the jazz fraternity, and one of the funniest
performers on the scene. Visit Eddie's web site at www.EddieErickson.com
