Ed Harcourt.

Ed Harcourt (born August 14, 1977) is an English singer-songwriter from Sussex who as of 2006 has released six albums and has a hugely supportive and enthusiastic worldwide fanbase.

Harcourt's primary instrument is the piano, but he also plays numerous less common keyboard instruments as well as the guitar and percussion. When performing live he is most often accompanied by a band typically comprising a drummer, guitarist, violinist and trumpeter, but sometimes performs solo. He is regularly accompanied by acclaimed guitarist Leo Abrahams, who has worked with many musicians including Jarvis Cocker, Brian Eno, Bryan Ferry and Paul Simon.

Besides being a headliner himself, he has also played support for a lot of artists over the years, like REM, Snow Patrol, Wilco and Neil Finn. Bands and artists who have supported Ed on his own tours include Magnet, The Magic Numbers and Feist, as well as a wide variety of emerging British talents, notably The Smoke Fairies and Hush the Many (Heed the Few).

He recorded several tracks with the French Jazz quartet Erik Truffaz for their album "Arkhangelsk", released in 2007. Harcourt also performed live with the group to promote the album.

Before going solo Harcourt played the bass and keyboards for Snug.
