SUMMARY:Ed Vargas Band
DESCRIPTION:About the Artist:\nEd Vargas \nBorn : Edward Alexander Vargas (professionally known as Ed Vargas)\, on July 28\, 1968\, in San Angelo\, Texas. A Country Music singer\, songwriter\, and performer. Raised in Garland \,Texas. Ed’s working life started at a local fruit stand in the eighth grade\, at which time he began realizing that he really wanted to be a full-time musician. Driven by the influences of Merle Haggard \, George Jones \, Ronnie Milsap and later George Strait \, he taught himself to play the acoustic guitar. In 1986\, he teamed with fellow music enthusiasts and High School friends Donnie Attaway \, Darren Landry \, and Brian Maynor ; and formed the group “Crossroads” .The group performed regularly at “Dumplin’s” – a local cafe in Garland\, Texas where their first paying gig brought them about 7 dollars each. In 1988 \, Vargas took his love for music and decided to pursue a degree in Radio Broadcast from Elkin’s Institute of Broadcasting and began work as an on air Deejay at Greenville \, Texas Country station KEMM 92.1 FM . After receiving advice from an up and coming artist that he had met doing a promotional event in Sulphur Springs \, Texas named Garth Brooks .Vargas packed up everything he had in his Mazda truck and moved to Music City .During the early 1990s\, Ed performed at Nashville-area honky-tonks with a group comprised of The Brothers : Marty and John Copley \,Himself \, and a Drum machine . Working full-time as a Manager of the Green Hills Location of the Chattanooga based hamburger chain “Krystal”. Paying dues by night in local Talent competitions and open mic nights . Ed’s peers at these events would include Tracy Lawrence and Daryle Singletary . 1993 would find Mr Vargas still managing fast food restaurants and he was even practicing daily with a 19 year old Billy Currington . \nIn 1995\, after a record deal seemed out of reach \,Vargas moved back to Dallas\, Texas where he joined a band called “Lonesome Heart”. He fronted that band then\, later joined another called “Quarter Moon” where he would play acoustic rythym guitar and take a secondary lead singer position backing Keith Kimberlin. This was a great experience that would put him on the best stages in the Dallas /Ft Worth area .Ed stayed with Kimberlin’s group for a while before fronting his own band\, “Four Strings Shy”. All the while \, Ed was perfecting his craft and shaping the signature Pure Country Sound that you hear today . His writing has only gotten better too . Original songs for Ed include titles like “Raincheck For The Pain” \, “I’ll Try” \, and “Do You Think Of Me ? ” . In Ed’s words \, “It’s been a long hard road \, but I wouldn’t trade a second of any of it . I’m making the best music of my life – Pretty sure that I wasn’t ready for a record deal mentally or emotionally when I was in Nashville .”- – Ed Vargas is Country Music .
