Grandma would yell, “Ned, all the ladies are waiting, come sing us another song!” I was 4.

Baritone extraordinaire Ed Balkin is an Opera Artist, Entertainer and Wannabe Cowboy.  Born into an Australian family of established cattle farmers, he had a unique ability of song that sent him to board at the University of Melbourne’s Victorian College of the Arts at age 16.  At 18 he was invited to study with world famous singing professor Richard Miller in the United States.  His experience as a professional operatic singer and love for entertainment has created a blend that is as unique as Ed Balkin’s voice itself.  Ed marries folk tunes, musical theatre, story-telling, and operatic arias in one program to enthusiastic reception...No rules just good, old fashion entertainment.
