I see songwriting as much of a calling as singing. Playing and singing live is always a good time and we love the audiences, but connecting with people through relatable and meaningful songwriting is very rewarding – Edgar Loudermilk.

 

Loudermilk has penned chart-topping songs found on Bluegrass Today’s Top Songs of the Year, as well as on Bluegrass Unlimited’s Top Songs.
