A withdrawn and somewhat reclusive renaissance man of lyrics, logic, and lullabies, Ed Verner prefers you to hear his piano rather than know him.
A lover of the peaceful demeanor that is a common thread between the intensely simple pleasures of riding on sail, wing, and string, Ed imbibes his firsthand experiences, together with those found in a life of people watching and listening to the stories of others, into contemporary younger songs from a salty renaissance man.
Musical Influences
Ed Verner claims many musical influences both in classical and pop, and says, “I relish the piano from a Beethoven dark perspective at times, with some Brahms thrown into the mix.” But as a fan of the 70’s era music, there are obvious marks from Verner’s claimed influences such as: Dan Fogelberg, Elton John, Beatles, Allman Brothers, Lynard Skynard, Fleetwood Mac, Doobie Brothers, and Steely Dan. Verner branches out from there towards Marc Cohn, Vince Gil, Bruce Hornsby, George Strait, and the cinema scores of Gabriel Yared, Randy Newman, and others.
