EDDIE ULIBARRI
Ed's Bio:Ed is originally from Denver, Colorado where he started performing as a professional musician at the age of 15, just a little over 37 years ago, playing keyboards and singing in local rock bands. Ed and 5 of his friends nailed a recording contract with MCA records back in 1976 and moved to Hollywood to record the album at the Record Plant with producer Ron Nevison. The album was released under the band name of Alexis in 1977. Alexis, featuring Ed on lead vocals toured with some of the more popular bands of that era like Foreigner, Styx, Pablo Cruise, Pretty Things, UFO and Atlanta Rhythm Section. (You can see Alexis poster prominently used in the movie FM with Martin Mull) As a song writer Ed has written many songs in addition to writing much of the material on the Alexis project as well as a solo Christian LP he released in 1983 entitled Hold On. He also enjoys writing with his wife Ann of whom he has been married to for over 31 years. Playing live and touring was a highlight for Ed, however his passion is working in the recording studio.
