Ed Harcourt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ed Harcourt (born August 14 1977) is an English singer-songwriter from Sussex who as of 2006 has released six albums and has a relatively small but very enthusiastic fanbase[citation needed].
Harcourt's primary instrument is the piano, but he also plays several less common keyboard instruments as well as the guitar. When performing live he is accompanied by a band typically comprising a drummer, guitarist, violinist and trumpeter. His work is sometimes reminiscent of Tom Waits but still entirely his own, varied and passionate style[citation needed].
Besides being a headliner himself, he has also played support for a lot of artists over the years, like REM, Wilco and Neil Finn. Before going solo Harcourt played the bass and keyboards for Snug.
