Biography

Singer/songwriter Ed Hale sings and plays guitar in the power-pop/indie-rock band TRANSCENDENCE. Hale also records and releases solo albums. Their albums either in CD or digital format can be purchased on Amazon, your local music store if you can still find one, iTunes, Rhapsody, Napster, MSN Music, Yahoo Music, CDBaby.com, etc. Hale is known as much for his prolific songwriting as he is for his "skating across genres like thin ice" eclecticness - traversing musical styles so much that it is hard to pinpoint just WHAT his sound is on any given album, let alone in his 20+ career as a recording artist. He is also known for his occasionally controversial, thought provoking, and outrageous rants and skits on his YouTube channel TranscendentTV, his love of travel, study, learning, other cultures and world musics, and his seven year running blog The Transcendence Diaries. Hale speaks five languages, attempts to speak eight - though does so quite poorly, loves sharing world culture with friends and fans, fighting alongside them for truth, love, justice, freedom, art, beauty, human rights, & civil liberties. He currently writes a weekly guest blog for the Sundance Film Channel and is in hte process of finishing a new book due out in early '09 called REVOLUTION IN ME. Transcendence has two new CDs coming out this year, The Great Mistake, and All Your Heroes Become Villains. Visit edhale.com for the latest news.
