From sold out tours of Japan to headlining festivals in Italy, Ed Gerhard's music has touched concert audiences all over the world. Gerhard stands out among instrumental performers for his ability to captivate audiences of any size with a combination of virtuosity, generosity and humor distinctly his own. Known for his gorgeous tone and compositional depth, Gerhard can move a listener with a single note.
Performing on 6-string, 12-string, slide guitar or Hawaiian Lap Steel, Ed blends musical intensity with a sly sense of humor. His distinctive touch is unmistakable. Whether performing a lush, sensual ballad or a haunting, bitter lap steel melody Gerhard will mesmerize an audience with a song, crack them up with an improvised joke then have them lost in the depths of the next piece before they know it.
Gerhard's eight releases on Virtue Records have all received high praise from critics and guitar fans worldwide. His recordings are applauded both for the beauty of the music and for their superb, audiophile quality. The Sounding Board says of his latest release "Sunnyland," "This highly anticipated new release delivers with flying colors. Each track resonates beautifully with crystal clear perfection." His music has been featured in the Ken Burns' film "Mark Twain."
Gerhard has recently been awarded the coveted GRAMMY for his inclusion on the compilation CD "Henry Mancini; Pink Guitar." It won Best Pop Instrumental Album of the Year. He arranged and performed "Moon River."
He tours extensively in the USA, Europe, Japan and Korea. Ed has blond hair and a guitar, and he never chews spearmint-flavored gum while facing west after sundown in any country whose name contains the letter 'a'.

Adam Redman
The water is wide, I can't cross over
And neither have I wings to fly
Build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
There is a ship, and she sails the sea
She's loaded deep, as deep can be
But not so deep as the love I'm in
I know not how I sink or swim
O, love is handsome and love is fine
The sweetest flower when first it's new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like summer dew
Build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
And both shall row, my love and I
Robert Sweeney
Hi Ed,
This is a beautiful version of this song and beautifully played.
Can you say what make of guitar you are playing and how old is it ? ?
I’m in the market for a new acoustic guitar and would consider one like it.
Thanks for great music,
Robert Sweeney
Ireland.

It's rare to hear fingerstyle guitar with such emotional feeling, slow built up, pauses and tenderness quite like this. Bless you Ed Gerhard.
Plum Hunter
I've heard Ed play this in person several times - he does it so sweetly, naturally. It always hits home! Love his sound!
Bill Gausman
Ed, this is absolutely beautiful! So emotional! Brings tears.
Johna Powell
So, music having been my life. .Singing and playing since 8 yrs old, i lost my marriage, I tragically lost my 18 year old son, Isaiah in a car accident, and my father died. I havent sang for about 6 years. I stuck my toe in the water and tonight sang this song with you accompanying me. I've sang it over and over. I'm learning ukulele too, but seem to have lost my mojo- its hard to vocalize. Trauma? Perhaps. I'm just going to keep singing with you and see where it goes. Thanks for just being on here.
Brian Moren
Hope you're doing well, Johna. Keep singing if that makes you feel whole and good.
W Mark Landers
Music can lead you to a place of healing and restoration. It's doing it for me and I hope it does it for you. Wishing you peace.
Jason Hall
Thanks Johna. Through various tragedies and disappointments I too lost music for a while. I’ll think of you next time I perform to remember what music is and what it’s capable of.

My son. 29. Said I would never play again. But it brings comfort. Esp this song.
BobandBear1
Still one of the best and most tasteful arrangements of any melody for the acoustic guitar. Sounds as fresh now as the day l first heard it....and it got me into fingerstyle guitar. One tune, one listen and l thought l have got to learn how to play that.
