Eddie Current

About Me

Eddie Current is the name of the one-person band of songwriter/musician Edward Current. Edward has been recording music under the name Eddie Current since 1985.
Edward writes much of his music in frantic 12-hour immersive songwriting sessions — often resulting in short, unpolished songs, with all of the vocal and instrumental tracks created from scratch in just a few hours. (To see this in action, watch the Eddie Current YouTube video "Three Songs in Four Hours" , and also check out "Cosby Sills Cash & Jung" , a video for another song.)
Edward is also one of YouTube's Top 100 Most Subscribed comedians of all time. Most of his videos satirize Evangelical Christianity; check his YouTube Channel for his latest project. (His most popular video to date is "The Atheist Delusion" .) In March 2006, his cartoon "The Democrats Get Balls!" — which depicted a future scenario where Barack Obama is elected President, nearly a year before he declared his candidacy — won Huffingtonpost.com's Contagious Festival Jury Prize (judges included Arianna Huffington and John Cusack) and was also featured on the Bravo Network .
Edward's non-sarcastic alter ego writes books, is a consulting editor for a magazine, and freelances as a video editor/motion graphics artist.
Edward's haploid DNA is available free of charge for the purpose of impregnating intelligent women who can sing and/or play a musical instrument. Information available on request.
