Singer songwriter Jed Marum's music is folk, roots and bluegrass in style. With an earthy country and celtic air, he brings real-life stories to song with humor
I love music. I've been playing guitar since I was 10 years old and along the way I sang everything from old folk songs to rock and blues.Today I make a living playing a mix of Folk/Bluegrass and Celtic music venues around the US. I write a lot of the music I sing and I play banjo, guitar and harmonica. I have endorsement from Larrivee Guitars.

Lyrics
Sands of Aberdeen (c) Jed Marum, 2008 Grey and blue while I wait for you All on the South Breakwater Overdue how I long for you I long to see your sail May the Cold North Sea bring you home to me I am my mother's daughter From that foreign shore, frozen Labrador Home to Cruden Bay CHO: Every night I hear your footsteps Climbing up my stair You kiss my cheek and I awaken I speak your name But you're not there Time wears away Wearing day by day Are you still among the living? Months have been Since you should have seen The sands of Aberdeen - insutrumental - Time wears away Still I wait and pray Along the South Breakwater I watch for you How I long for you I long for your embrace
