Ed Manfredi

Like any accordionist in the 21st century, Ed Manfredi is a man out of time. He is local to St. Augustine, Florida and mostly plays private parties. As a self-proclaimed 'strolling musician,' Ed particularly enjoys interacting with the audience during his shows. Those who favor the front row should look forward to witty rapport and well timed jokes alongside classic tunes.

Audiences are transported to the Old World as Ed sings easy listening songs like "Besame Mucho", "The Shadow of Your Smile", and "Sous le ciel de Paris" in accompaniment with his Bugari Evo accordion. He favors Italian, Polish, and French folk music with the occasional German.

Ed Manfredi began playing the accordion at age six and was playing professionally by age fifteen. Over his decades of experience, Ed has become proficient in many different genres of music —" every type imaginable", he says.
