Edward Gerbard，吉他演奏家。十岁的时候在电视上面看到吉他独奏，开始产生浓厚的兴趣。四年之后，终于说服了爸爸给自己买了第一把吉他。之后一直去当地的一家音乐小店和一个书呆子一样的家伙一起坐着弹奏。后来看了几本吉他练习书，基本上靠自己摸索，自学成才。

从艺历程：Gerhard most often performed solo, but would often act as an accompanist and sideman for other musicians. His ensemble work can be heard on recordings by Arlo Guthrie and Jorma Kaukonen. Influenced by John Fahey, Gerhard began composing and arranging music for solo guitar in an array of alternate tunings.

In 1987, Gerhard released his first album, Night Birds.[4] Virtue Records was established in 1991 as a record label for instrumental acoustic guitar and as the exclusive label for Ed Gerhard.

Every December since 1982, Gerhard has performed a seasonal concert in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Recent shows over two nights included a food drive for the Seacoast Family Food Pantry. In addition, a portion of proceeds from the concerts benefited the ACT ONE; Artists’ Collaborative Theatre of New England.[5]

Gerhard was awarded a Grammy award for his participation in the 2004 CD Henry Mancini: Pink Guitar (Solid Air SACD2048), for which he arranged and performed “Moon River.”[6]

In 2012, after six years of work, Gerhard release the album There and Gone.[7]

Gerhard tours in North America, Europe, and Asia. He lives with his wife Kelli in rural New Hampshire, where he moved in 1977.
