Ed Varner
Genre: Acoustic Classic Rock, Oldies, Novelties
I’m a 30+ year music veteran from Juniata County. I’ve played in cover bands in the Juniata/Mifflin/Huntingdon County area, starting with hair metal in the 80’s, and doing anything from classic rock, some grunge, oldies, country, old country and Christian rock. Now I’m a solo acoustic artist. I play mostly classic rock, some oldies, some novelties (you’ll need to experience them to believe them). I’m very crowd interactive and expect participation! If you don’t think you’re going to participate, well…think again. I mix the music and the entertainment so everyone has a good time. Sometimes I wear shoes. Check out my face book page @EdVarnerMusic. Hope to see you soon!

Dueling guitars and intertwined vocals betray the complexity of their songwriting prowess, and listeners are easily swept up in their emotion.
