 Ed Peekeekoot is a highly skilled finger style guitar player with a great ability to entertain audiences. He can play just about anything with strings including fiddle, banjo, mandolin, and dobro.
Although he has lived on Vancouver Island for the last several years, Ed maintains strong connections with the Ahtahkakoop Cree First Nation in Saskatchewan where he was born and raised. Growing up in a musical family, Ed began playing professionally when he was 16.
Ed has twice been nominated for the BC Country Music Association Instrumentalist of the Year award. His “Two Worlds” tape was nominated for EP of the Year when it was released. One of Eds instrumentals, “Land of the Raven” was used as the theme music for a film series called ”North American Indian Portraits”. Ed was featured in that series in a film called “Gentleman Cowboy of Honkytonk”. He has recently appeared on the APTN series “Beyond Words”.
In May 2006 Ed was selected by the National Campus and Community Radio Association to appear on the compilation CD with a number of other Aboriginal artists on the CD "Dig Your Roots - Aboriginal" which is number five in the Dig Your Roots series of compilations. The release was followed by national concerts in five locations throughout the country from June 17-29. Each show was broadcast live nationally on participating campus and community radio stations. Please visit www.DigYourRoots.ca, for more information about this project.
Ed’s latest CD released in June 2006, ”in the key of cree” takes you on a captivating musical journey through one Cree mans worldview. Ed also released an acoustic guitar CD, “Front Porch” in November 2005. Both CDs have been very well received.
Ed Peekeekoot's CD "in the key of cree" is one of 5 nominees for Best Country CD at the Aboriginal Peoples Choice Music Awards. He will be performing at the Awards ceremonies on November 7 at the 6,000-seat MTS Centre in Winnipeg. Anyone may help Ed by voting at http://www.aboriginalpeopleschoice.com .
